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

There is Theo, of course.
I'm not a big fan of Angus unless there's a Scottish connection in the family?

Sebastian, Rowan and Barnaby

Sebastian, Rowan and Felix

Sebastian, Rowan and Jonas

Sebastian, Rowan and

Marcus
Jamie
Michael
Reggie

Monty Benjamin

Brodie
Keir
Austin
Fergus
Ramsay

I think Angus works really well with the brothers' names, and I also really like Dominic and Tobias/Toby. You have some great options on your list.

Atticus

Congratulations! Jude is my all time favourite boy name, it’s lovely.

Sebastian, Rowan and Charlie
Sebastian, Rowan and Ellis (twist on Elliot)
Sebastian, Rowan and Junior
Sebastian, Rowan and Lucas
Sebastian, Rowan and Spencer
Sebastian, Rowan and Cameron

I like all the names on your list, but Alexander I think is better as a middle name so i’d say:
Benjamin Alexander

Suggestions:
Miles Benjamin
Felix Benjamin
Jasper Benjamin/Alexander

Angus is a great choice. I also really like Benjamin.

I like the earlier suggestion of Dominic. Job done

But also like Otis Rex or Milo/Miles
Or Rudi/Rudy

How about Laurence?

Dominic or Quentin are lovely and go well!

My sons are called Seb and Rowan too.

We also had a Jacob but he passed away.

Other favourite names:

Felix
Remi
Tobias
Isaac
Maxim

Conrad
Torin

Toby is a great name. Tobias, or Tobin.

Wow hadn't realised there had been so many replies.

@hardyboys another of the same pair! And I though they weren't that usual together. You have great taste!

Sorry about your loss. Jacob is a lovely name.

Unfortunately, Benjamin as a first name is off the cards as we have one who is being horrible to our eldest. So back to a middle name.

Love a few of the suggestions- Ellis is great, I think Miles/ Milo is really cool as well. But both difficult to get past DH.

We do have a loose Scottish connection- so Angus might work.

Current shortlist is

Xander
Alistair
Angus

Will try again with Tobias/ Toby as I think that would be a really sweet name.

If you have a Scottish connection then I always like Fraser....

Felix
Finley
Miles

Loving your shortlist alba. Probably a girl after all this...

@hardyboys so sorry to hear about Jacob

@albazavi try and persuade your husband on Tobias or Ellis! They are great names and I wouldn’t have thought they’re very out there. Is that his concern or does he actually want an out there name? What names does he like?
Have you decided on a girls’ name

@Canklesforankles we've thought that every time as we always find girls' names so much easier. Girl would be Thea or Imogen

@MissHenty he tends to like more traditional names- I like something a little more out there, but also soft and gentle sounding (but also strong if that makes sense). My work means I work with thousands of children every year so like something I don't come across regularly.

I do like both of those (Toby and Ellis) and will be putting them on the persuade list. And will keep trying with Jude as I have always loved it- it's such a strong but gentle name.

@albazavi we have really similar taste in names (good taste 🤣!). My DH is also very traditional and loves names like Oliver (a lovely name but it’s no1 so that does put me off).

Imogen or Thea are gorgeous. I prefer imogen but love both

Def try again with Ellis or Toby or Miles/Milo

I LOVE Jude

Will you come back and tell us what you have and what you call baby x

Sebastian, Rowan and Gabriel

Otto, Jasper or Felix?
