Needaboysname277 · 28/05/2025 15:27

Are these nice as brothers?
please be honest

Cassius was a name we instantly agreed on and still love to this day (4 years on).
I like Franklin but not as much as Cassius

any other suggestions?

I like Franklin (and Frankie) and think it goes well with Cassius.
Other possibilities…
Cassius and:
Quentin
Rafferty
Austin
Milo
Julian
Hudson

I think they go very well together and I like them both as names in their own right.

Cass and Frankie is very cute.

Both are lovely names.

I really like Cassius but Franklin is awful and I don't think that they go together at all. They’re completely different styles of names imo.

flowerpop · 28/05/2025 17:24

Cassius and Frank go so well together!

pnutter · 28/05/2025 17:24

Hugo and Cassius

Needmorelego · 28/05/2025 17:42

Would Franklin likely end up as Frank/Frankie/Fran?
Because Francis is better (Franklin is too surname).

Emanwenym · 28/05/2025 17:55

I'd think you were keen fans of boxing.

Moreteaandchocolate · 28/05/2025 18:19

Franklin goes well with Cassius.

Ideas

Lucian
Evander
Alistair
Dorian
Darius
Soren
Maxwell
Fabian
Raphael
Ezekiel (Zeke)
Lorenzo (Enzo)
Julian
Elliot
Tristan
Nathaniel
Gabriel

Emanwenym · 28/05/2025 20:08

If you have another DS you could call him Tyson.

WitcheryDivine · 28/05/2025 20:09

I think they work in full but I’m not sure Frank and Cass work.

Ellmau · 28/05/2025 20:27

The combination sounds quite American.

Do you pronounce Cassius Cass-ee-us or Cashus?

Needmorelego · 28/05/2025 20:33

@Emanwenym I'm not getting the boxing link ?

Emanwenym · 28/05/2025 20:43

Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali), Frank(lin) Bruno, Tyson Fury

Needmorelego · 28/05/2025 20:47

@Emanwenym oh that went over my head.
It might not be a problem for the two names if other folks don't make that link either.

Maxorias · 28/05/2025 21:00

With a name like Cassius I'd be tempted to pair it with another roman name.

Antony
Roman
Max
Julian
Lucas

Or maybe other ancient names that end with a similar sound :

Mathias
Jonas
Andreas
Alex (ander)

Unfortunately another name in -us probably wouldn't work though I really like Magnus, Marcus, Quintus...

Choppedcoriander · 28/05/2025 21:06

I don’t think they go at all. I’d be really surprised if I came across that combo. Unless you’re boxing fans.

JohnnyLuLus · 28/05/2025 21:07

Yes. Really lovely names.

NearlyThere91 · 28/05/2025 23:22

I don’t think they go. Know it’s popular but Theodore? Has a grand feel about it like Cassius.

House0fBamboo · 28/05/2025 23:30

How about Lennox, Sugar Ray or Barry?

Emanwenym · 29/05/2025 00:08

It's awful.

Surely most people would make the link though? I’ve never watched a boxing match in my life but I know the names of the heavyweight world champions. They have celebrity rather than athlete status.

user1492757084 · 29/05/2025 06:46

Cassius and not Franklin.
Try ..
Leonard
Dominic
Leopold
Roman
August
Gustav
Xavier
David
Victor
Hugo
Kirk

Velvian · 29/05/2025 06:59

I don't think they go together at all. I'm not a fan of Franklin, it doesn't have a good feel about it.

I agree with pps suggestion that Max would go well.
