I think you could go either way. I think in a case like this, where I think either would be great, I’d wait to meet the babe. (Unless doing so wouldn’t work for you for whatever reason). Congrats by the way!

[name]Marcellus[/name] [name]Cai[/name] is my favorite. You seem much more enthusiastic about [name]Marcellus[/name] and [name]Cai[/name] than [name]Caius[/name] and [name]Marcel[/name].

I actually like the two “us” sounds together – [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcellus[/name] or [name]Marcellus[/name] [name]Caius[/name]. Sounds very [name]Roman[/name]. But I can see where it might be too much for a modern child. I voted for [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name] because I love the nickname [name]Cai[/name]!

I prefer [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name]. It’s a handsome combo! I also think a two-syllable first name sounds best with your three-syllable surname.

I like [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name] better. [name]Marcellus[/name] is a bit much for me, and I think [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name] flows better.

I prefer [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name]. [name]Marcellus[/name] makes me think of Pulp Fiction (brilliant film, but I’m not sure I’d name my son after [name]Marcellus[/name] [name]Wallace[/name]).

[name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name]!

I like [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] the best. Please don’t use the nickname [name]Joby[/name] as it is close to a word for a poo in [name]Britain[/name].

rebekah83 · May 26, 2013, 5:12am

Oh, dear. What word? [name]Just[/name] so I can be fully aware (if you don’t mind sharing).

I like both options, but I really really like [name]Caius[/name], so my vote went to [name]Caius[/name] [name]Marcel[/name].

[name]Marcellus[/name] [name]Cai[/name] flows well, I really like it a lot.
