Hello everyone! We just found out we’re expecting a baby boy this November. We are suuuuuper in love with older sister’s name, Ophelia Winter, but have yet to find a boy name that we’re equally in love with.
To get a sense of our naming style, here’s a few of the boy names we’re currently floating around:
Julian
Atticus
Gavriel
Sebastian
Felix
Tobias
Cyrus
Lucian
Milo
Phineas
Caspian
Jasper
We do like these, but we aren’t 100% sure about any of them the way we were with Ophelia. What do you think of these names, and are there any others in a similar vein/style that you’d suggest??
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_u]Milo[/name_u], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] realy stand out to me, all of em would sound lovely with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] (who has a stunning name too btw).
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is beautiful!
I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]!

Ok so I’m biased because I’m also having a boy this [name_u]November[/name_u] and we have decided on [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], so that of course is my favorite but [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_u]Milo[/name_u] are my next two votes. All your names are lovely though and go with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] very well.
I love Ophelia Winter and so many of your boy options! I especially love Atticus, Felix, Sebastian, Lucian, Milo, Jasper and Caspian, although I’m also a fan of Phineas, Julian, Cyrus and Tobias (so basically I love every name on your list apart from Gavriel - although if it’s meant to be Gabriel, I do like that).
Ophelia Winter has a grandness to it that I feel is complemented perfectly by Atticus, Sebastian, Lucian, Caspian or Phineas best but honestly, I think any of the names on your list would go beautifully with Ophelia. You just can’t go wrong. I’m currently pregnant with a boy and one of our top options is Felix, and I’d also be seriously considering a few of the others if my partner hadn’t vetoed them.

There have been so many great suggestions already! I’m just popping in to say I know a sibset of [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Llewyn[/name_m] and they fit so well together!
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] (the matching -ph works!)
I can kind of see [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] and Ophelia…but [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is a bit too modern for that pairing although they look beautiful together!
I think [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] pair well together too!
[name_m]Othello[/name_m] would be cool! same first letter and both from shakespeare. could be calle [name_u]Olly[/name_u] which is so cute. possibly theo too
Thank you so much for your suggestions! I think from your list, I love [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], and [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] most. [name_m]Marceau[/name_m] is awesome but I’ve suggested French-leaning names to DH and he’s shot them all down And I really love the [name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] combo you suggested! I’ll add that to our list of potential full names.
Ahh thanks so much for the extensive list of suggestions! So many great ones I hadn’t even considered, like [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], etc. I’m especiallllllly in love with [name_u]Orion[/name_u] . . . I’m going to suggest that to DH and see what he thinks! <3
Thank you! Haha we think big sis’s name is beautiful, too—that’s what makes naming this baby boy so hard!
I love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] (although I don’t know if DH will go for it ), [name_m]Isidore[/name_m], and [name_m]Casper[/name_m] so much!
Ooooh I love a lot of your combos, especially some of your middle name suggestions that would match perfectly with Ophelia’s middle name style—like [name_u]Valor[/name_u], [name_u]Noble[/name_u], [name_u]Forest[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], and Phoenix!! Thanks so much, I have some great new ideas to work with now.
Ahh congrats on expecting your baby boy in [name_u]November[/name_u], too! And ughhh yes I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] so much and think it would go really well with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but DH is not as on board. Let’s see if I can swing him over to my side by the time [name_u]November[/name_u] rolls around, haha
Thank you for liking almost all the names we’re considering, haha! Makes me feel more confident about the choices we’re mulling over And yes, it is meant to be [name_m]Gavriel[/name_m] with a “v,” I kinda liked that it was different than the traditional “Gabriel” and that we had the potential nickname of “Gav.” But we’ll see!
Thank you for all the suggestions! I’ll have to share your list with DH and see if he’ll approve any to add to our potentials list ahaha. I wish naming a kid was as easy as just picking out names I love . . . it’s so much harder when I have to compromise with someone else, lol
And I really love the [name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] combo you suggested! I’ll add that to our list of potential full names.
