Boys name like Sybil

We have a little girl called Sybil, we’re expecting DC2 next month and have a girls name picked out but we’re stumped on a boys name. I quite like Arthur but it’s getting popular and I’m not a huge fan of that. We also like Amos but not 100% on it yet. Any ideas?

Go with Arthur - it's lovely!

SirChenjins · 20/10/2023 16:04

Got to be Basil - or Manuel to throw people off.

If you have Sybil and Cedric, you’ll sound like quirky Harry Potter fans.

Basil obviously Wink

Arthur is lovely. How about Edwin?

Meant to add these to my last comment.

Not Cedric it is such a wet name.

Cedric Diggory was anything but wet.

Love Ernest 😍

Curve ball ased on Arthur - Alan? It's easy to spell, it's another "A", it's also ancient and Celtic and it's not super popular at the moment.

Digby is cute but maybe too doggy name? And he’d inevitably get called “diggers”!

I think you're onto a winner with Amos.

I like Amos. I prefer it to Percy, Stanley etc

MightyFine · 20/10/2023 16:31

How about Otis?

I don't think Eric or Amos go with Sybil, which has imo aristocratic old lady vibes.
