Looking for an acceptable alternative to these two?

I love the sound and the look of Lupus and Heathen, but for obvious reasons they’re both off limits as names.

With Lupus, I don’t mind [name]Lupe[/name] and Lupin/Lupine, but I don’t like [name]Luke[/name]/[name]Luca[/name]/[name]Lucas[/name] etc, or [name]Lou[/name]/[name]Louis[/name]/[name]Lewis[/name]. With Heathen, I like [name]Heath[/name] and [name]Hayden[/name] but the first has negative connotations for me and the second has been so overused.

Does anyone have any suggestions or names that look or sound similar, or even have a similar feel, without having the same connotations?

[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Laurence[/name]
[name]Lucius[/name]
[name]Ludwig[/name]

[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]

PP said all the Lupine-ish names I could think of.

What about Hearth instead of [name]Heath[/name]?

Hadrian
Halden
Helios

[name]Lucian[/name] ( I think it’s pronounced [name]Lou[/name]-Shen)

[name]Heathcliff[/name]
Hartford

[name]Duke[/name]
[name]Lucian[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
Pontus
[name]Ludo[/name]
[name]Ludovic[/name]

[name]Heath[/name] is one of my favs.

My sons name is Lupin. :slight_smile:
