Brother for Linus

Boy Names
1

Swore it was a girl, :confused: so my boy list is too short.
I have a few serious contenders, but not anything I’m totally in love with.
I would prefer to keep away from anything real popular.

Current serious list:

[name_m]Archibald[/name_m] - [name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m] - [name_m]Ernie[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] - [name_u]Bernie[/name_u] ([name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] was my girl choice, so I may not want to lose the option for #3)

Rejects:

Hogarth
Kubrick
Kozak
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Whittaker[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]

[name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] is soo cute!!

From your list I really like [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]. It has the same vibe to [name_m]Linus[/name_m], imo. I would also have to agree with you on [name_m]Bernard[/name_m], if you plan on trying for a girl down the road, you should keep [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]/[name_u]Bernie[/name_u] available.

Other suggestions:
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Harold[/name_m]
[name_m]Marvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilbur[/name_m]
[name_m]Nigel[/name_m]
[name_m]Stuart[/name_m]
[name_m]Elton[/name_m]

We’re expecting a baby in [name_u]March[/name_u] and are fluctuating between [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] and [name_m]Walter[/name_m]. We initially liked [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] but regionally there are a lot of Oscars and every toddler birthday party we go to has an [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]! I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Bernard[/name_m]/[name_u]Bernie[/name_u] but I met a little girl named [name_u]Bernie[/name_u] and it was to die for cute. Save that one for a girl if it’s your first choice.

Omg, [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] is dreamy…

Good to know about [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], it was on today’s list.
Currently removing…haha…
Also, I’ve known some really great [name_m]Walt[/name_m]’s!

My first thought for you was [name_m]Virgil[/name_m].

I think I would suggest [name_m]Archibald[/name_m]! [name_m]Ernie[/name_m] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] would be the cutest little boys. I love [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] with [name_m]Linus[/name_m] too, but I noticed you could potentially have [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ernie[/name_m] and a [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] nn [name_u]Bernie[/name_u] in the future (thinking this far in advance might be a bit much, but I thought I’d let you know I noticed it anyways!)

If you like [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] and [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], what about [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] or [name_m]Bartlett[/name_m]?
If you like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Orson[/name_m], what about [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] or [name_m]Otto[/name_m] or [name_m]Otis[/name_m]?

Some others I thought of:
[name_m]Humphrey[/name_m]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]LeRoy[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]

[name_m]Linus[/name_m] and [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]! I feel like I’ve been championing [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] lately, but it really is an overlooked little gem. The perfect alternative to [name_u]August[/name_u] imo.

11

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Bernard[/name_m]. [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] is cute too. I’ll add [name_m]Casper[/name_m].

[name_m]Olivier[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] <3 Archibald nn Archie is a perfect sibling name. I’ll cast another vote for Casper. (Casper, Linus and Archie are my top fave names!). Or Neville or Cecil?
