Boys name to suit brothers

[albazavi]

Currently expecting DC3, and haven't found out sex yet (although expecting another boy to join DS1 and DS2).

We are seriously struggling to find a boys name that we both like. Naming both boys was really hard work as me and DH have such different styles.

I like more modern, I suppose trendier names- nothing cutesie or overly popular:

Love Jude and Elliot but have been vetoed by DH.

He likes Max and Alexander but I'm not overly keen.

What would you name a brother to Seb (Sebastian) and Rowan?

Middle name likely to be Benjamin.

Thank you

Edward but nn Teddy? or Caleb or Maxwell?

Lucas
Noah
Jacob

Max
Freddie
Dan(iel)

Oops just saw you're not keen on Max. Alistair (Ali)?

I don't think there is anything wrong with Elliot, sounds OK and Eli for short is lovely.

Max and Alexander are good too.

What about Xander (short for Alexander)

Elijah would be nice with Seb and Rowan

Elias!
Otis
Luca
Daniel

Fergus
Oscar
Felix
Dominic
Jasper
Ian

Some good suggestions- lots we've discussed already. Love the idea of Edward (Ted) but have a very close friend with a Ted, same with Jacob.

Alistair is a good suggestion. Like Ali- but feel Alistair is quite an old name for a little boy.

Would happily have Xander as a compromise, but DH only likes Alex.

He also doesn't like biblical which rules out Noah, Caleb, Elijah all which I think are lovely!

This is hard!

Sebastian, Rowan and Quentin?

What's your girl name?

Rex
Miles/Milo
Otis
Peter
Kit

Shame you don't like Max, I think it's a great name.

Also no Biblical names rules out a lot of good'uns

I like Ivo but your husband would probably hate it!

Vincent?

Otherwise I think bridget's suggestions could work - Oscar, Felix, Dominic all pretty uncontroversial but still interesting and not overused.

Alistair is a fab name.
Oliver?

I like a three syllable with your other names. One is too harsh alongside Seb though if you use Sebastian more that won’t be as much of an issue. Mind you three and then Benjamin might be weird. Could you go with Ben?

Arlo
Inigo

I like Benjamin as a first name if that's an option? Also Felix, Zachary, Otis, Flynn, Matthew (Matt similar to Max?), Rex, Milo/Miles, Callum.

I have a Roan and a Fynn.

Tobias, Toby, Julian, Arlo, Jet, Hugo,

Chad

Nathaniel (Nate), Edmund, Joel, Jonas, Henry, Rufus, Xavier

Toby's a great name and it would go well with the others. Biblical though.

Benedict
Vincent
Jonathan / Jonty
Lloyd

Lots of great suggestions.

I do like Benjamin a lot (was nearly ds2's name) and Benji is a cute nn. Will put it back on the list. Have a horrible Benjamin at ds1s nursery but hopefully they won't be together at primary school as well!

Agree that either a long name with a nice shortening works well.

Dominic is a great suggestion, I like Toby as well and think Tobias works well. Both going on the list.

@Grufallosfriends girl name would most likely be Imogen or Thea.

DH has thrown in Angus as a wild card! I quite like it but not sure it goes with the other two?!

I like Angus and Alastair.
