Brother name for Amelia

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,

We are expecting a baby brother for our daughter [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and are desperately looking for a name!

We are a Belgian (Dutch-speaking) family, but we travel a lot, have lived abroad etc, so we are looking for “international” names for our children. Meaning, a name that could be just as easily pronounced in say English, [name_m]French[/name_m], [name_m]German[/name_m] and Spanish (although the pronounciation might be different) and is also not unfamiliar to most people, so preferably a classic name.

We also prefer a name that is not at the top of the popularity charts, although I realize that can be very local. E.g. for our daugher we agreed on [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], a not so popular variation of the more popular Amélie in Belgium, and only afterwards realized it was on top of the charts in UK and USA :slight_smile:

Names we like but won’t be considered as (children of) friends or family have these names: [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Quinten[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

Thanks for your input !

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] was my first thought for you.

I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] sound perfect together.

Good luck in your hunt for the perfect name!

Thanks a lot for your replies. Until now nothing which I would add to our current list I’m afraid.
That list is [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m]… but we don’t seem to be really convinced of any of them !
I like [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] as well, but hubby isn’t crazy about those.
Seems though that for a boy we have a preference of having some “strong” consonants in them, like T, K, R.

6

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] maybe?

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and:

[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]

What about these?

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]/[name_m]Eddie[/name_m]
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]
[name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]

After reading your comment on wanting a name with strong letters like “T,K, or R”, my first thought was [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]!

[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Oskar[/name_m]
[name_m]Lukas[/name_m]
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]/[name_m]Zacharias[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Christian[/name_m]

12

[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]/[name_u]Adrien[/name_u]
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]

13

My first thought was [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]. I love the shortened form of [name_m]Teo[/name_m].

14

My first thought was [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] sounds lovely :slight_smile:

Guess what… now that we were moving towards [name_u]Theo[/name_u] a 2nd cousin of mine just had a baby [name_u]Theo[/name_u] ! They live in the US though, so not exactly close, yet I don’t want anyone to think I copied their name…

I was thinking of offficially naming him [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], nickname [name_u]Theo[/name_u], although an “official” nickname is not that usual in Belgium, people are usually just called by their birth name hence also a lot of shortened names as birth names. But I have the feeling [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] sounds a bit more classical and classy than the short [name_u]Theo[/name_u] maybe ?!
