Greek names for baby boy

[maisieandvicks]

I am currently 6 months pregnant with my third child. We are having a boy and I am extremely excited as we currently have two girls.

Both of our girls have traditional Greek names.

Any ideas for any traditional Greek names for a boy would be welcomed!

Eugene.
Constantine.
Topher.
Xander.
Leander.
Seth

Elias a favourite here too.
Andreas
Nicos
Cosmo

My friends Dad is Greek he's called Stavros and he's super cool 😎 even in his 60's
We call him Stav

Lysander

Apollo
Adonis

My children are half-Greek. I wanted to use Adonis as the middle name of my son, but thought it might set him up for teasing. I wish I had used it now.

Cosmo (from Kosmas/Kosmo).

Sophocles
Euclid
Philip
Yiorgos
Aristotle
Andreas
Ulysses
Spiro

Sebastian

yep

It’s pronounced Me- ha- lis in Greek.

I am Greek and Greek names that would work well in the Uk are the ones that are not ending in “s” because of declension issues. If the name ends in “s” it won’t be grammatically correct the way you will use it in English.

I would suggest names that don’t end in “s”. And I would also avoid names that are just a shortening of Greek original names like Theo, Leo and Alex.

Michael and Raphael are very good choices as they are authentically Greek and work equally well in the Uk.

Alexandros
Loukas
Stefanos
Nikolaos
Leonidas

My male Greek relatives are called Alexandros, Spiro, Vassillis, Vasillios, Christos, Andreas, Georgios, Dimitrios
@Obsessedwithpizzas same, it’s their name day today isn’t it?
that’s another thing you might want to think of op, the name will dictate their name day if you celebrate in that way?

The OPs baby must be 4 months old now so I’m guessing she’s chosen a name.

😂

Kyriakos- especially if he is born on a Sunday

My Greek friend has a Foivos - not particularly mainstream and she did have to explain in her text "foivos, pronounced fee-vo" but it has a beautiful meaning and I love it - I'm not Greek though so it would be strange on a child of mine!

Greek men/boys I know… (forgive me when I butcher the spellings!!)

Christos,
Vangeli
Pantelis
Orestis
Panos
Orpheus

OP's baby would have been about 3/4 months ago, pretty sure he will have been named by now

the greeks I know are stratos and vangelis. they make the best kebabs in town.

When I was at university, I knew a Spiro. It's nice and different.
