Morning All!
I am due in a few weeks time, but I am still not settled on a baby name for DS2. DS1 is Raphael nn Raf or Raffey.

Names on our shortlist include:
Felix (my personal favourite)
Rupert (dh’s favourite)
Cassian / Casper / Caspar
Atticus
Sacha

Ds2’s middle name will likely be Jonathan.
Any thoughts or comments on the shortlist above, and and other suggestions with a similar feel?
Many friends have suggested Gabriel, but it’s a bit too Angel themed for us, and not a fan of nn Gabe.

Many thanks.

I was going to say Cassian is my favourite but I don't think it flows with Jonathan as a middle name.

Friends of friends had a Raphael. Their other son was named Marius.

Good point. Cassian Jonathan doesn’t really work…

On your list Cassian stands out to me :)

I have a Max & Raphael. Or Maxy and Raffy :)

Both cute for kids and strong for adults. You could make it Maximilian to match the length. Max Jonathan sounds good
