Torn between 3 names for son

[Newdad87]

Hi,

my wife and I have been going round in circles with our future son's name. We are pretty set on one of Cassius, Titus and Ferdinand, but as the due date approaches we seem no closer to deciding. Any thoughts on any of these? Or dare I ask any other names in a similar vein (only caveat is they have to work in german and english). For context we have a Maximilian and an Ottilie already.

Thanks so much

Responsible by being assasinated?

Cassius is the nicest I think.

Too much choice will probs be more confusing for you, but it can be helpful to see what others suggest as it might make your original ideas more determined.

So, as we have similar taste (and heritage), I would also add Magnus, Ludo and Claus.

Titus definitely does not work in English!!

I voted Cassius, but I much prefer Cassian or Casimir in the Cas- family.

As the mother of a boy Cas I vote Cassius. We have Castiel instead but I voted strongly for Cassius instead

I like Cassius the best, although really prefer Cassian. I know one and it does get shortened to Cass, but I've never thought of it as 'girly'.

Ferdinand is nice.
Cassius is OK

Titus... no way!

Cassius by a mile, it’s lovely and goes best with your others.

Except by arsehole kids in school.

It’s very brave to use Titus, younger kids often get the giggles every time Titania’s name comes up in AMND so I assume Titus might have the same problem ( even though its pronounced Ty - tus, kids will be kids)

Tough call between Cassius and Ferdinand - I voted Ferdinand as it seems rarer and has more choice of nn but Cassius is gorgeous too ( also love the sound of Corin and Lysander if you’d consider more Shakespearean choices 😀)

Victim blaming is a large problem in today’s society. I would steer clear personally.

I really love Cassius, though my favourite similar name is Caspian! Love the others too though. Nice to see a poll that isn't bland names where the vote will always be completely even across each.

The rest of us are on a thread about baby boy names. What planet are you on?
