Brother for Ophelia

Really struggling as we feel it should be a similar -ish name but don’t like names like Atticus or Agamemnon.

We like Guy, Jasper and Heath so far. Any better suggestions?!

@barnstone oh I love Piers, DH doesn’t thanks to Mr Morgan

@IamnotwhouthinkIam ohhhh Caspian is lovely, thank you for that!

Piers Morgan won't be in the media for too much longer surely? It's a great name!

MerryMarys · 14/11/2024 07:37

How about Caspar, Xavier or Quentin?

Jasper and Heath both sound out well with Ophelia. So would:
Nicholas
Alexander
Conrad
Lucian
Tristan
Aubrey
Sebastian
Damien
Peter

Oh I would steer clear of “Ophelia and Nicholas”: sounds like “ I feel ya knickerless. “😬

Ferdinand
Byron
Conrad
Rufus

I love Jasper from your names.

Why does his name have to be similar? They will be individuals, living separate lives apart from each other. They don't have to match

Just because she would like her kids' names to sound well together when she tells them to people doesn't mean she doesn't see her kids as individuals.

SunshineAfterTheRainR · 14/11/2024 08:47

Right I think I prefer Jasper at the moment, DH now prefers Lawrence. We both have Guy and Heath as backup options. Not sure what we’ll do but think we’ll sit on it for a week and try talking again then - thank you everyone! Any other suggestions very welcome as we’re far from decided.

You could just stick with characters from Hamlet - maybe not Yorick 💀, but Osric is quite nice.

purplespink · 14/11/2024 16:21

@SunshineAfterTheRainR I think that Hamish goes very well with Ophelia.

Evansessance · 15/11/2024 03:23

Othello! I’ve got a little Othello and we call him Otto or Ello and we actually considered Ophelia as a sibling name.

The song "Oh, Sir Jasper" puts me right off that name 😁.

I think I know the song you mean but I know it as Oh Sir Roger : “Oh Sir Roger do not …as she …. “?

sarsaparillatree · 19/11/2024 23:09

Yup. Same song @Calliopespa . Never heard it with "Roger"... though it's appropriate, I suppose!

Indeed!

My first thought was Lysander - I have always liked Orsino, but not convinced it is usable in the real world.

I like both Jasper and Lawrence though, and think they go nicely with Ophelia.

Ps - my youngest is Alexander, after choosing literary names for dcs 1 and 2 - I love it, it is very strong and classic.
