What is Isabella's brother called?

Posting on behalf of a friend (with her permission)
They're 36 weeks and settled on Isabella for a girl, if that gives a flavour for what sort of thing they like.
They have a short list for boys, they're all in the right vein but not quite perfect... I suggested that the great MN hive mind might have some ideas along similar lines?

Their current short list is:
Max
Gabriel
Lawrence
Elliot
Finn
Maximilian
Jules
Ethan
Miles
Emmett
Everett
Lauri
Rohan

Any ideas much appreciated!

Claudio ( if it's good enough for Shakespeare...)

It won't be Isabella's brother, though will it. Isabella is the alternative name Your title is quite misleading or am I being daft.Confused.
Out their short list I like.
Gabriel. Elliot. I like Julien but no a fan of Jules.
Other ideas.
Benjamin. Alexander. Thomas. Edward. Andrew. Jude. Jonah. Lucian
Nicholas. Noah. Dexter. Finley. Casper. William. Henry. Leo. Terence.
Francis. Vincent. Oliver. Andrew. Moses. Wilbur.

Nicholas.
Our names were Isabella for a girl or Nicholas for a boy.

I suppose it is misleading, sorry... I meant 'if a family chose this for a girl, what might they chose for a boy?'

I love Lawrence/Laurie.

I know a brother and sister with the same names so they are definitely in a similar vein to me.

Isabella is so ubiquitous. It was number 6 most popular girls name in 2017.

Probably they'd like one of the very popular boys names? Top 9 in 2017:
OLIVER
HARRY
GEORGE
NOAH
JACK
JACOB
LEO
OSCAR
CHARLIE

10 was Mohammed which I didn't include because I am making assumptions about your friends' religion.

What about Ivan?

FogCutter · 05/07/2019 02:37

The isabellas I know have brothers called
