Naming baby boy #3

My boys are [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]. I’m trying to come up with names for an as-yet-hypothetical third baby boy and I’m drawing a blank. My husbands suggestions tend to be ancient or mythological (think Ullyses or Ptolomy) and I’m more likely to suggest trendy or literary names ([name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m]). His current suggestions are really NMS. So far, we’ve only agreed on [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] but I’m hesitant because it’s so popular.

Any suggestions on names we might like?

First of all, I love [name_m]Felix[/name_m].

What about these names:

  • [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Christian[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
  • [name_u]Max[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Alec[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Issac[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Abel[/name_m]

Hmm… FWIW, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is wonderful. I wouldn’t let the popularity concern stop you from using it if you both love it. Or go straight for [name_m]Xander[/name_m] instead, which is trendy, strong and so cool.

More names that might straddle your styles:

[name_m]Byron[/name_m]
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] (or just [name_m]Leo[/name_m])
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Mathias[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] or [name_m]Maximus[/name_m]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Titus[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and it isn’t common where I live.

I was also going to suggest [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] and [name_m]Mathias[/name_m], but I see they were already suggested above!
