Brother for Xander ...

Helpppp...

I'm due next week and DH and I are really struggling with boys names. We have a Xander (Alexander) already and like that he has a 'traditional' name but we never really use it. I feel like we have been through every name in the universe and although there are some that we like, there are none that we love. Any ideas on similar names? To add another dimension (which may or may not be helpful) my husband is Greek so he has a preference for Greek names, not essential but it would make it a bit more perfect

Thanks so much, some really lovely suggestions ... some of which I do love and have been trying to convince DH of for 9 months. I'm going to show him them in the hope that it will either make him realise I was right (obviously) or that he will see something else that might inspire him.

Atticus is a great name

That way they both have traditional names, with a cool nickname.
