A brother for girls with Princess-y names

UPDATE AT POST 24! I’d love to find more boy name options that are 2+ syllables, outside the US top 1000, and have a long history of use in either [name_f]English[/name_f] or [name_m]German[/name_m] (open to other European languages, but trying to avoid cultural appropriation).

If you have ever come across a weird male name in a history book, this is its time to shine.
If it sounds like a guy who’d be in the show The Last [name_m]Kingdom[/name_m], I wanna see it!

[name_f]My[/name_f] daughters names:

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Iria[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]

Middle name will most likely be [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u], depending on what goes best.

Names on my list, to give you an idea…

[name_m]Anselm[/name_m]
[name_m]Alcuin[/name_m]
[name_m]Aneirin[/name_m]
[name_m]Everard[/name_m] (which won’t work his sisters name, but I love it)
[name_m]Osric[/name_m]

Bonus points if he was a saint or historian!

Thank you all!

To me, [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] sounds like it completely fits your bill! [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] is very handsome too, though it’s just grazing the bottom of the US top 1000, at 878. [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is quite possibly one of the most prince-ly names I can think of, and I think it suits your daughters’ names well too.
Some other ideas:
[name_m]Melchior[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelian[/name_m]
[name_m]Caradoc[/name_m]
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]

Good luck finding a name you love!

Similar to [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], but of different origin and not listed on NB, is Cassan. It may come from the [name_u]French[/name_u] House of Cassagne and has been in use in various forms in [name_f]England[/name_f] as a surname since the [name_m]Norman[/name_m] Conquest of 1066, if the information I found online is trustworthy! I know a little one with this name, it’s always struck me as dashingly handsome.
