Brother for Leo

41 replies

What is Leo’s brother called? I had loads of girls names lined up, but we are having another boy. Due imminently and we don’t even have a shortlist. I like classic but slightly unusual names. We can’t use Alexander or Oscar, as they are cousins’ names.

Thank you everyone! I’m loving the Pope names!

I like Noah, Nicholas and Francis so far

You say you like unusual names but Leo is far from unusual. I'm tripping over them.

Leo and
Seth
Rex
Duke
Asa

IamNannyPlum · 22/08/2021 15:04

@Awwlookatmybabyspider thanks for your input. It was indeed unusual when he was born 10 years ago, not so much now.

I will rephrase. For THIS baby I’m looking for something classic but slightly unusual.

IamNannyPlum · 22/08/2021 15:06

When I say unusual, I don’t mean out there, maybe just not top 50.

IamNannyPlum · 22/08/2021 15:08

I’m loving Louis and Arthur. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

OP posts:
IamNannyPlum · 22/08/2021 15:09

I’m not keen on Duke or Rex, as they are family dog names!

OP posts:
LaChatte · 22/08/2021 15:12

Nathan or Joshua

PrimeraVez · 22/08/2021 15:15

We have a Leo and his little brother is Caspar

Also on the list was Elijah, Felix, Jude, Sebastian and Gabriel.

randomusernameagain · 22/08/2021 15:15

If you liked Louis and Arthur then: Archie, Theodore, Percy, Sebastian and Francis.

PearlyBird · 22/08/2021 15:16

Louis with Leo ? 😵

@PrimeraVez Caspar is such a beautiful name, unfortunately it has been vetoed by DH, but I think it is lovely.

So far I’m thinking some combination of any of the following:

Noah
Francis
Gregory
Louis
Arthur
Benjamin
Nicholas

IamNannyPlum · 22/08/2021 15:44

@PearlyBird am I missing something? I don’t see an issue with Louis?

Pieceofpurplesky · 22/08/2021 15:50

Noah and Leo sound too samey
Francis not a fan. Old woman name (I know it's different spelling)
Gregory a bit 1980s Greg. May be due a come back?
Louis Louis and Leo too matchy
Arthur
Benjamin
Nicholas
all gorgeous, strong names.
