We are expecting our fourth baby and pretty sure it’s a boy. BUT we’ve already used 6 boys names ( 2 boys already each with 3 names) Please help! We have a Francis and Benedict already. We don’t have a single boy’s name left we agree on! We want classic but not boring ( who doesn’t?) Anyone ?!! ....

Aurelius! Amazing!!as in gladiator?!

I spotted it on some film credits a while ago and filed it away for future use but it doesn’t sound quite right with our surname.
I do love it though.
Also - Atticus but that maybe has a different vibe to it.
I do like your taste op

Really stuck so just slightly dull ones The only three that neither one of us say no to so far are Joseph. William. Oscar... Might be able to add Humphrey and Ralph and Alban to that but think husband will dislike.

Basically google Shakespeare characters and work through the list, it very much seems your vibe!

Benedict is such a cute name
To me, Dominic & Lawrence sound identical to your boy names in style / vibe ?
Hard to match Benedict - maybe Lucien?
Caspian?

Oh maybe Hector?

Francis, Benedict,...
Any name except John Paul, John, Paul or Leo so they don't all have Pope names

Edward

shouldntbeonhereagain · 06/06/2019 21:33

I like Edward. Part of the problem is this will be grandchild number 15 on my side and 11 on the other so a lot of names have been taken. Including Edward!
