Brother for Apollo

Boy Names
1

So, I am pregnant with my second boy, due in [name_f]May[/name_f]. DH and I are lost on names. Our first son’s name is [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], and we both fell in love with it instantly. We are having a much harder time with #2 so I figured I would turn to the NB community for some inspiration.

Names that we have thrown around, and like, but aren’t really “feeling” include [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Dhani[/name_m], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_u]Oberon[/name_u], [name_m]Azarius[/name_m], [name_m]Thelonius[/name_m], and [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m].

We obviously aren’t into typical, popular, or common names. We want something strong, yet romantic, and can hold up to [name_m]Apollo[/name_m].

Suggestions please, and thank you.

I don’t know if this was suggested yet, but I love [name_m]Lucius[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] with it. Also [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] would be a nice brother name, I think.

If you aren’t opposed to another A name, [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ares[/name_m] sound great together.

Thanks everyone, there are some really great names here. We’re trying to put together a short list for this little boy.

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is growing on me, I’m also liking [name_m]Aristotle[/name_m]. I want to keep [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] on the list, but [name_m]SIL[/name_m] has an ex with the name, and DH thinks it’s a no go because of that (I don’t think it’s an issue). We aren’t intentionally looking for A names, but it doesn’t deter us either. We also like [name_m]Theon[/name_m] and [name_m]Theseus[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] and the nn possibility of [name_m]Ty[/name_m], but I think it might be too heavy.

Still collecting but trying to narrow the list…

[name_m]Virgil[/name_m]
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_m]Aristotle[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
