Name for a boy in a similar vein

[McEwan]

We're looking for a classic-ish name that is likely to work internationally.

We have Alexander, Anthony, Jasper, Philip.

What do you like and any good ideas for names in a similar vein?

Nicholas
Jonathan
Dominic
Sebastian
David

Thanks, what do you think of the names?

Are they your existing kids or names you're thinking of.
I love Alexander. Anthony is nice providing its said properly eg I can't stand when people leave out the T and it becomes An-neee.
I can't abide Jasper.
Philip is lovely quite unusual these days.

Andrew
Christopher

My son has two of those names as first and middle! I like all of them.

Alexander, Anthony, Jasper and Philip are all good classic names.

Thanks for the ideas.

I just wanted to clarify that the four names (Anthony, Alexander, Jasper, Philip) is our short-list, but we want to make sure we're not missing anything. It's really hard to commit to a single name.

Hugo

I love Jasper and Alexander. Anthony and Philip seem dull and a bit dated in comparison - would you mind nicknanes Phil and Tony? Something to consider? I also wouldn't have thought Philip was very international is it? I am an expat and have never met a non-British Philip (not to say thetr aren't any of course, just that I'd never link 'Philip' and 'international'). How about Lucas or Oscar or John?

Adam

Richard.

Your list is fine, though personally I don't love Anthony or Philip and I think Alexander is very popular, so I would pick Jasper.

I agree with @SmeleanorSmellstrop that the nn's for Philip and Anthony would put me off as would people saying An"th"ony as a th sound, like they do in Australia.

Love Jasper and Alexander. What about Hugo, Rowen or Miles?

Ooops I meant Rowan.

Artery

I love Jasper (slightly biased as our DS2 is called Jasper), also love Alexander. Not so keen on Phillip or Anthony personally.

How about Nathaniel (Nate for nn), Lucas, Silas, Wilfred?

Of your shortlist I like Alexander best - lots of nn options and never goes out of fashion. 2nd choice would be Phillip - a bit out of fashion in the UK, but traditional and I love the nn Pip/Flip. Anthony and Jasper feel a touch too dated/old-fashioned for me personally.

I think Samuel, Adam, Lucas and Gabriel also work fairly well internationally, if you like any of those?

I love Jasper from your list. I also adore Rufus.

Alexander is a great name.

Jasper is too, BUT some countries will pronounce the J in ways you might not which may be an issue for you.

Magnus
Marcus
Gabriel
Conrad
Adam

I like Alexander. Jasper is ok. Not a fan of Anthony or Philip. Nicholas?

Alexander lovely and so many options for diminutives - love Xander
Anthony - dated
Jasper - o think it's cute but it is a bit of a dog's name
Philip - soooo dated

Love Alexander.
Anthony - dated.
Phillip - I don't mind it. Possibly due revival.
Jaspar - quite nice.
