Posted a few weeks ago but still can't decide on a name for third baby, other than DH vetoing anything beginning with J so goodbye Julian, Jasper and Jude (sob).

He likes Quentin and Dorian.
We both like Vincent but can't use.
Also in the running are
Cassius
Egon
Lucien/an
Luther
Loudon
Atlas
Roman
Rowan
Remus(Remy)

We have an Orson already and a Greek/slightly Jilly Cooper esque named daughter, both quite unusual (some would say pretentious Wink names).

Just looking for thoughts and any ideas to expand the list! Thanks.

I only like Lucian and Atlas.
Dorian especially is beyond dreadful.

BlueChampagne · 17/10/2017 13:33

Luther very appropriate if he's a 2017 baby. How about Conrad?

Valeriemalorie · 17/10/2017 13:36

Reuben
Bailey
Seth
Oscar
Riley
Montgomery
Tristan
Dominic
Sebastian
Dexter

Quentin - awful
Dorian - as in A Picture Of? No.
Cassius - this is alright!
Egon - meh
Lucien/an - lovely name
Luther - Lex Luthor...no.
Loudon - absolutely not
Atlas - jaysus. No.
Roman - fine
Rowan - a bit wet but also fine
Remus(Remy) - I like this! I can see a lot of people thinking you've been inspired by Harry Potter though.

Suggestions: Emmet, Lachlan, Isaiah, Jesse, Idris, Jago.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 17/10/2017 16:10

Rowan is great.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 17/10/2017 16:11

Roman, too, OP.

Inneedofacookeddinner · 17/10/2017 16:23

casually hanging round the comment section until OP reveals daughter's name

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 17/10/2017 16:29

Remus is fabulous!
I also adore Conrad and think it would go nicely with Orson.

Smoliver · 17/10/2017 16:30

I love Quentin, Dorian, Cassius and Rowan! Great name choices. Also, love the name Orson.

How about...
Winston
Walter
Raphael
Declan
Cameron
Octavian
Phineas
Lysander
Sebastian
Victor
Demetrius
Darius
Tobias

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 17/10/2017 16:33

@Inneedofacookeddinner I'm hoping it's Pandora.

OP you could continue the Jilly Cooper theme and go for Lysander.

HappyLollipop · 17/10/2017 16:36

I really like Cassius, Luther and Roman the rest are a bit meh

RhonaRugMuncherr · 17/10/2017 17:02

Atlas is my favourite ever name. if only I could persuade DP......

Lorcan
Corin
Linus
Robin
Elwood
Cyrus

KiaraS · 17/10/2017 17:54

Cassian?

Etonianmother · 17/10/2017 17:56

Cassius is good. Sholto?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/10/2017 18:00

Luther and Remus, both fabby !
How about ;
Elwood
Julius
Bram

NotAgainYoda · 17/10/2017 18:13

Very posh. Are you posh?

I like Cassius, Roman and Rowan

Quentin pops up a lot on here and I don't know why. To my ears it's a bit tepid

I suggest:

Raphael
Victor

Astheflamesrosetoherromannose · 17/10/2017 18:31

@notagainyoda haha not posh... horrible middle class hipster types maybe. Actually we're probably too poor to even be that, we shop at Aldi and can't afford to buy Kinfolk or Bobo Choses clothes GrinHmm

@inneedofacookeddinner going to out myself but ten points and a gold star to @dinosauratemydaffodils

euanthesheepiloveyou · 17/10/2017 19:11

Luther - LOVE! And Remus is fab too.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 17/10/2017 20:02

OP,
"...can't afford to buy Kinfolk or Bobo Choses clothes Grin Hmm "

Ah, but do you own several authentic Breton tops by Saint James, though?
If no, you lose all Hipster credentials. Grin

PhuntSox · 17/10/2017 20:09

Vaughn

daisypond · 17/10/2017 20:18

I quite like all your names, except Loudon, Atlas and Rowan.
Caspar? Rudolf?

17caterpillars1mouse · 17/10/2017 21:17

I really like Dorian (but not keen on the sound of Dorian and Orson together)

Infact the other two names I like from your list (Lucien and Rowan) have the same issue

Subla2401 · 17/10/2017 22:00

I love Cassius! Smile

SuperBeagle · 18/10/2017 00:52

Dorian is horrible, but Quentin is alright.

Egon, Lucien/Lucian, Luther, Loudon and Atlas are all pretty dire and very aspirational (especially Atlas).

Roman, Rowan, Remus and Cassius are fine. But be prepared that most people will think you've chosen Remus after Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter series.

Some others that might appeal to you:

  • Aldous
  • Cadel
  • Aslan
  • Desmond
  • Amos
  • Evander
  • Griffin
  • Marlon
  • Otis
  • Orson
  • Soren
  • Wilder
