Beatrice came to my mind. Maybe it's the ic sound in both.

Beatrice? For a boy?

Alexander is nice.

Cissyandflora · 15/02/2021 01:49

I second Beatrice

NovemberR · 15/02/2021 01:49

I don't think there is anything that goes with Cedric.

Poor child.

Cissyandflora · 15/02/2021 01:51

What about Baldric?

Cissyandflora · 15/02/2021 01:53

Sorry just checked. Baldrick has a k so maybe that wouldn’t work. Beatrice then.

I like Cedric, I know a Gilbert which has the same vibe I think.

Victor and Vincent are good calls.

I quite like Cedric - and i certainly don't see why it should be mocked when it's perfectly mainstream these days to call your child Alfred or Stanley (not that I have anything against those names either - it's just they're a very similar vibe).

Other suggestions:
Bede
Thomas
Francis
George
Nicholas
Magnus
