Now I'm not having anymore babies but I was reading a book last night and came across this name and just thought it was a fab name for a boy. So I thought I would chuck it in here and see if I'm totally deluded or if it is in fact quite charming?

I know a Settimio (Italian for settimus)!!
Have no idea what would be the english pronunciation of Quintus, so I cannot really say...

septimus of course, sorry

I have a long-distant memory of an episode of 'The Pallisers' (old long-running Trollope serialisation) of discussion of names for a proposed decimal-based currency. A lady suggests 'quint' and explains that it is the term for 'the 5th leg of a horse'

Not keen on Quintus, but LOVE Quentin!
