Husbands insane boys names! Help!

[Kikikik]

I have 3 weeks to go... When we found out it was a boy I knew I'd have the crazy name battles. Our DD has a V beautiful but V unusual Latin name. Trying to push his crazy names to middle names.
His boy suggestions are:
Aurelian
Hector
Titus
Lysander
Tiberius
Gaius
Uriel


My suggestions with his ideas have been either
Duncan (family name) and Titus as a middle name or Reuben (DH thinks too popular) and Uriel as a middle name. Thoughts?

[SkylightSkylight]

Register him on your own & choose a normal name for the poor baby!

[Gummibär]

I really like Aurelian and Lysander!

[SophiaLarsen]

Hector is ok out of those but not awesome.

How about:
Wilfred
Rudyard
Siegfried
Euan
Alexander
Alistair

[dream28]

I like Lysander and think it's quite usable.

[Kikikik]

I'm having a c section and so scared of him going to the registrar office hahaha.
I trusted him with DD as we were so decided.
We just can't agree on a normal first name.... He said I could possibly sway him to Reuben or Duncan as Duncan is a beloved family member.

[Gummibär]

Hector has an unfortunate meaning (to hector), unfortunately.

How about
Roman
Quentin
Vincent

[Proamble]

You both need to agree. We had a joint list we kept adding to and the other would either cross through or leave it on.

He has already said no to all those lol.

[smelliphant]

I know a wonderful young Gaius!

His list is above..... I can't agree to any of them as a first name. I don't mind crazy middle names though as how often are those used!

Hector is a lovely name, if rather an ill-fated character in Greek mythology

Maybe some slightly less wacky greek themed names:

Theodore/Theo
Gregory
Andreas
Alexis
Jerome

[PolkaDotMankini]

I know a toddler Tiberius and Lysander is the name 12yo DS tells me off for not giving him.

I think all listed together your DH's names are a bit overwhelming. On their own most of them are pretty usable.

[Proamble]

If you don’t like them, cross them all out. Same with him and yours.

[BasiliskStare]

@OP I like Hector , Vincent and what about Hugo. I also like Hunter but not classic Latin name

[omnishambles]

Can't believe marcus isn't on there.

Lysander was ruined for me by Jilly Cooper plus I hate the nn Lys or Zander. My daughter loves the name Lysander thought although she also wanted us to call him Wolf Blue haha

Love Hunter but suggested it for my mum's dog and that is his name now haha. Hugo is one of DHs best mates son's name but I love Hugo!

[Foxtrot101]

Dexter?

[AdaColeman]

Lysander is a super name, in fact I like all of your DH's list except Uriel which sounds like a kidney infection to me, (apologies to any Uriels out there).

Similar names you might consider are Horatio, Isambard, Ragnar.

[StiggyZardust]

I love Titus

[Backtoblack1]

Rex?

Hahaha he suggested all your others but I think my face made.him not put it on his list haha

[Hereandgoneagain]

I love Hugo as a name although a friend of mine bitterly curses his parents for saddling him with it!
I’m sure you’ve already thought of any and every possible name but here’s a couple more Classical ones to add to the pot:
Horace
Tarquin
Tybalt
Lucien
Marcus (already suggested by a PP and a fairly normal name in comparison!)
Ptolomy

[Kikikik]

All my friends will say they like his name's...... But all their children have top 100 names so I'm like there is liking a name and then actually giving it to a child.

Hector is a good strong name,lots of Hector's in Scotland
