We have a 21 month old son, [name]Castor[/name] [name]George[/name]. I am pregnant and due [name]December[/name] 1, 2011 with our second baby and we do NOT know the sex.
We are having a hard time finding something that flows well with [name]Castor[/name]. Please help with some suggestions…
[name]Hi[/name], I really love the name [name]Castor[/name]
The other off-beat Greek names i like are [name]Ajax[/name] or [name]Atlas[/name]
maybe either one of those would sound good together - at least in my ears-
I [name]LOVE[/name] both suggestions…but [name]Ajax[/name] almost rhymes with our last name. I never thought about the 2nd baby’s name when we were naming [name]Castor[/name]. I didn’t think it would be so difficult! Thanks for the suggestions!
Hmmm, some names to go with [name]Castor[/name], these are what spring to mind:

[name]Selene[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Persephone[/name] (nn could be [name]Percy[/name] or Persie)

I think the difficulty when choosing a surname as a first name is that in a sibset it could sound like a product or a company.
Combos
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Axel[/name] this is lovely and would mesh with [name]Castor[/name] very well
[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Darius[/name] [name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Dorian[/name] Change to [name]Darian[/name] or [name]Darius[/name], you don’t want the connection of someone selling their soul
[name]Cyrus[/name] [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Griffith[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
