DD1 is Clarissa "scandi flower" virtue name"

So, like Clarissa Akleja Temperance (for example!).

If DC 2 is a boy... I really like these:

Anton
Anthony
Erik
Ludovico (would be named after a super cool dude in my family)
Julius
Bertram (I went to school with a really lovely Austrian boy called Bertram)

If the first name isn't Erik then the middle name will probably be. I'd like the last name to be a virtue name. So, maybe Horatio (after DH) or Ignatio. Or maybe Clemens.

Another vote for Anton Erik Horatio.

BasicBetty · 07/03/2017 14:47

I like Anthony or Ludovico.

ClaryIsTheBest · 07/03/2017 14:50

Betty

I honestly like all of these :) Idk. But there are just so many awesome boy's names imo... I think girl names are so much more complicated.

The only one I'm maybe a bit "ehh" about is Anthony. I just don't know if this works in any other language than English. If that makes sense...?

And yes, I do agree.

Anton Erik Horatio is really cool. And solid :)!

I would focus on finding a perfect first names (middle names get used so rarely it almost doesn't matter).

I really like
Anton
Julius
Lucovico
Horatio
Clemens or Clement

I love Ludo/Ludovico

Clarissa and Ludo sound good together Smile

NinonDeLanclos · 07/03/2017 16:56

Love Ludovico.

ClaryIsTheBest · 07/03/2017 17:07

Is Ludo a common British nn for Ludovico? (I'm an expat)

gummi very true :)

these are the only names currently considered as first names:

Anton
Anthony
Erik
Ludovico (would be named after a super cool dude in my family)
Julius
Bertram (I went to school with a really lovely Austrian boy called Bertram)

ninon thanks :)!

Well I am an expat overseas and have met a few Ludos whose names are shortened from Ludovico or Luduvic.

I have a Luca and Ludo is similar but I imagine much more unusual than Luca now is in the UK.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/03/2017 18:11

My vote goes to;
Anton Erik Horatio.

ClaryIsTheBest · 07/03/2017 18:12

I'm also an expat. But in the UK :) (DH is British, however. Does this actually mean I'm an expat...? I did move here before meeting DH. anyhow. I'm rambling).

I'm not a fan of Luca. Not because it may be more common in the UK. But Idk. I know many people called Lukas, Lucas, Luca. And whilst this is the 2nd name of an awesome cousin of mine there are also some bad eggs amongst these people...

I love Bertram nn Bertie

ClaryIsTheBest · 07/03/2017 19:28

I do like Bertram nn Bertie as well :)

I'm super surprised by the united response on mumsnet. I didn't think mumsnetter would like Anton this much, tbh :)

I like Clarissa. I only like Anthony of the boy names (sorry).

ClaryIsTheBest · 07/03/2017 21:34

lljkk

I also like Clarissa. Thank you :)

No need to be sorry. I'm asking :) Anthony is very nice imo. Plus, the nns Tony/Toni/Tonino are so cute imo.
