Phil, to be honest

I love Maud and don’t understand the hate for it.
Its’s a beautiful name (and loved by many older mners who often remember a very special Maude).

Another vote for Arthur

Maud Persephone and Arthur sounds perfect to me.

Hector, Benedict, Roderick, Glenn

Definitely a two syllable name. The oddness of Maud and Persephone is partly due to the contrast between one and four syllables.

Names like Montgomery which has the same stress pattern as Persephone, would in my opinion be much too clumsy when you were listing your children's names.

Augustus

Mumsnet rudeness never fails to surpass my expectations. It is common on here for people to provide negative comments about a name before the baby has actually been born and the OP is just looking for opinions, but criticising a name after the child has already had it for however many years is just out of order. If you met someone in the street and they named introduced their child as Maud, would you honestly turn around and reply with "That's an awful name?"

OP, I actually think that Maud is a lovely name.

Please not Ansel it’s too much like Anusol the haemorrhoid ointment.

Immediately thought Hector

Also love Atticus
I'll throw Victor into the mix

Lando

Bill

Tertius

Or Persephone but each to their own

Jason

Jarlath

Enzo

Nick (because Nick is your buddy, Nick won’t mind if you barf in his car…. I’m sorry, vomit)*

In all seriousness, @MaudandSephy x I think Maud is lovely (Lucy Maud Montgomery! And my great aunt) and Sephy is cute (although she definitely owns a pony). Congratulations on expecting your little boy.

Nico,
Anselm,
Thaddeus,

If either of my sons had been a girl Persephone was on the list. Maud will be my next female dog name - as I won't be having more children! Eli or Jacob for a boy perhaps..
