Anthony

Magnus

Phileas (my favourite)

Blaise (I love it... But I'm a bit hesitant because of the meaning. What if a classmate finds out about it when they're a teen? what if our LO does have a lisp?)

Hector

Jonathan

I personally think we're having a boy this time around (I don't want to know in advance)... And we unfortunately still don't have a boy's name. The only one DH vetoed was Severin, btw...

Super

Is there something bad about Blaise Pascal? I thought it was a rather nice name association.

Ah, Hector is such an adorable name imo. Plus, Heck or Heckie are both really cute nn imo :)

From your list I really like Magnus and Jonathan.

I think Blaise was too minor a character to have HP associations for most.

It only hits me in the face because I used to be a Harry/Draco shipper and Blaise was a good antagonist there!

I do like the name.

Blaise was the one with the... interesting (somewhat deadly) mother, right?

Drama

Yes, Magnus and Jonathan seem to be the most popular ones. :)

Anthony^ maybe^

Magnus nope

Phileas (my favourite)^ nope ...Phileas fogg throat sweets spring to my mind^

Blaise (I love it... But I'm a bit hesitant because of the meaning. What if a classmate finds out about it when they're a teen? what if our LO does have a lisp?)^ nope...very odd imo, kid would constantly have to spell this out and every Xmas / birthday card will be Mis-spelt^

Hector^ no way^

Jonathan^ yes ^

Jonathan's my favourite. I also like Phileas (despite the strong association with Fogg). Magnus is a fine, strong name but the meaning does put me off - I'd feel somehow a bit arrogant calling a child that, even though I no doubt would think he was great Anthony's good. Not keen on Blaise or Hector.

Yes Mrs Zabini was a bit of a black widow!

I doubt you'd meet many others with the same name.

Lucie Hetero

What Fogg? THat's why I need mumsnet. I have no idea what you're talking about (off to google it).

ery odd imo, kid would constantly have to spell this out and every Xmas / birthday card will be Mis-spelt...

I think it's more likely that people are going to have issues with the surname, tbh... Is Blaise really this difficult to spell?

I like all of them except Phileas. Phineas is ok though.

My favourite from the list is Magnus.

Phileas Fogg (Around the world in 80 Days)

Lucie
Is he actually a Phileas? huh. makes me like the name even more... I did know that there was a Saint Phileas.

I like Hector, Blaise sounds like an old lady name to me

Blaise makes me think Blaze which is cool but also makes me think of the annoying monster truck :o. However when seeing it written it makes me think of Pascal which is awesome.

Phileas would I think get mistaken for Phineas. As in Ferb.

That said I really like the sound of both of them. Magnus is awesome too!

From your list, Blaise.

Blaise Pascal is great, but the name Blaise is very aspirational. A bit like naming your child Pablo (Picasso) or Atticus (Finch). Atticus is pretty popular, but I still find it aspirational and cringy.

Huh... I didn't think somebody would think Blaise is aspirational. But now that you mention it... Hm. Interesting. Thank you for your perspecitve :)

Phineas is a fab name. Much nicer than Phileas.

PegLeg

Sorry, I have no idea who Phineas and Ferb are. I'll google it

nancy Ooops. Yes, I guess Blaise is the only one of those names that could kind of work for a girl/woman? I personally like that it's a bit softer...

PLEEEEEEASE** do NOT call your child Phileas!!! Please. I'm not being mean, I'm being serious, he will be teased forevermore....

I LOVE Blaise. Love it.

Jonathan only choice out of those

Phileas is unusual but your child will only ever be called Phil and everyone will assume his name is Philip, which I hate. I love Magnus and Hector is fantastic.

Magnus.

Don't like any of the rest. Anthony is wet. Jonathan is dull. Blaise sounds like a teen from a 90s American movie.

Hector or Johnathan

There was a ginger boy in my class called Blaise ( having people write it blaze was not very easy I imagine)
Phileas reminds me of phineas and ferb and he would probably choose just Phil.

FenellaMaxwell

True. I'm not keen on the nn Phil... Or actually, I do like Phil. But I dislike the name Philip. Went to school with two boys called Philip. Both were the worst trouble makers.

Right, Phileas is out, I think.

Honestly, I like Hector and Jonathan... But Idk. My personal favourites are (now that Phileas is out....) Blaise, Anthony and Magnus.
