Brother to Sebastian - Ralph, Monty, Jenson or Hugh?

[Almondbiscotti]

Which of these do you prefer and which work with Sebastian?

Our surname is Wheeler.

Thanks!

Hugh, I've got one! It was a mumsnet suggestion!

We also liked Hugo but thought it might be a bit pretentious and he might not like it if he didn't turn out to fit that stereotype (I know, I know, it shouldn't matter but we didn't want to look back and wish we'd chosen something less 'statementy' for him).

So Hugh was a sort of middle ground, it wasn't at the top of our list of names but I absolutely love it.

Monty and Hugh don't flow well with your surname.

Arthur Wheeler sounds like an Eastenders character to me unfortunately. I don't like the way it sounds.

Ralph pronounced Rafe is very nice, goes well with Sebastian (especially if he is nicknamed Seb) and with Wheeler.

I like Francis Wheeler and Alexander Wheeler. Not keen on Xavier as it doesn't sound right with Wheeler but you could use Xander as a nickname for Alexander.

Have you considered Jago ?

oh go for Felix. Or Gabriel.

I wasn't allowed those by my dh

(also like Ivo and Orlando, but for some reason he vetoed those too..)

What about Christian?

I love Monty and even though you haven't mentioned it also Ernie/Ernest.

What about Alastair? My favourite boys name that I was never allowed to use. Seb and Al would be cool teenagers.

Ooh lots of good alternatives!

Rupert, Francis and Alexander are already names we have in the family.

DH has vetoed Ernie due to Sesame St. He isnt big on Scottish names so rulea out a lot like Angus, Alastair etc.

Sebastian and Gregory
Sebastian and Christopher
Sebastian and Jerome
Sebastian and Thaddeus
Sebastian and Magnus
Sebastian and Torin
Sebastian and Darius
Sebastian and Gerard

Sebastian and Charles, perfect for any Brideshead fan!

Wouldn't go for Ralph, because of the pronunciation issues.

Don't like Hugh or Hugo
I like Monty, but it is only acceptable as a nickname, and the longer versions are perhaps a bit pretentious.
Hate Jensen.

With Xavier you could also have pronunciation issues.
