Names like Vita, but for a boy.

[TyrannosaurusRights]

I love the name Vita for a girl. Someone on a recent thread described it as

Has that ''glamorous and slightly scandalous doyenne of 1920s intellectual society set' vibe for me.

Which is a fantastic description.

But I’m having a boy - so help me find an equally fabulous name for him.

Tristan
Guy
Lucian
Eric
Conrad
Kim (I know it’s become very much a girls name; but I still love it for a boy!)

Oh and Kay! As in Kay Harker in the Box of Delights.

Edgar

I love Vita! Other names I love are
August
Casimir
Gideon
Jago
Lysander
Peter
Robin
Stellan
Vincent

Kim is brilliant for a boy.

Victor, Vincent, Kit, Jago, Jolyon all ace.

Some great options being added to the list here. Thanks all

Rex

I know a Vitali and always thought it was a nice name.

Roy-Vita

Italian males called Vittorio are often called Vito for short.

Eric

Cecil
Auberon
Ned
Bertie

August/Augustus

Basically, for that 1920s/30s vibe, just open any copy of a Wodehouse book…

Also, there’s a boy in my DD’s class called Virgil. Great name!

Gil (Gilbert)
Herb (Herbert)
Edgar

Victor
Vitus
Rafe

Lysander
Lorne
Joss
Hal (Harold or Henry)
Gus (Augustus)

The obvious one would, of course be Vito. A name in its own right (as a nickname for Vittorio the pronunciation is different with the stress firmly on the "o" as opposed to the "I"
It doesn't have a 1920s vibe though. It's just an old-fashioned name that hasn't come back into fashion. Any Italian Vito under 50 was named after their Grandad.
I teach 300 kids a week and don't have one.

Tino

Vincent - Vinnie

Connie

Zephan
Vitali
Tito

Nietzsche
Pablo
Vincent

DS has a Vitas in his class. Can't get closer than that to Vita.

Hector

Vidal
