I'm loving the beautiful girls' names thread. My DD's names have both come up several times so I guess I maybe like names that could be described as 'beautiful,' but I'm having a boy this time! Not sure if 'beautiful' is quite the right word, but, for example, I love the names Raphael, Rafferty, Caspian, Sebastian etc.

What are your favourite 'beautiful' boys' names?

If I could have chosen any name in the world for my two DSs I would have had;

Jack
Marcus

I've loved the sound of Jack forever - it was my grandpa's name & the name of my future son from around age 8 Grin.

Marcus I just love. DH vetoed it saying it was too close to Mucus Sad.

I also really like;

Daniel
Joseph
Sebastian (Seb)
Isaac
Jacob

Raphael is beautiful. Also love Sebastian, but not Seb, which put me off using it.

I love various names I'd never use for different reasons (not from my culture, too religious, bit poncey sounding etc):

Alejandro or Alessandro
Lysander
Cassius
Fidel
Emilio
Mateo
Ezra
Isaiah
Dalziel
