Oliver, Sebastian, Elliott

Boy Names

I love all three of these, but can’t use any for various reasons. I already have a [name]Margaret[/name] (we call her [name]Maggie[/name]) so looking for something classic yet not totally overused. Suggestions?

I saw the title of this post and I had to click on it! All three names are the ones I most adore. I had to scratch off [name]Elliott[/name] when someone pointed out how odd it sounds with my last name, [name]Ellis[/name]. My husband had a boss named [name]Oliver[/name] that he didn’t get along with and he doesn’t like the name [name]Sebastian[/name].

I notice that all three names are 3 syllables and had a classic feel to them. I’m sending a few names from my own list since it seems that we have similar taste.

[name]Vincent[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Jameson[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Edwin[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]

Thanks! Last name is [name]Pepe[/name], pronounced [name]Peppy[/name], and for some reason I think three syllables works best. Never considered [name]Nathaniel[/name] but I think its cute, and I really like [name]Nate[/name].

[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Sylvester[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Julius[/name]
[name]August[/name] (Latin for same meaning as [name]Sebastian[/name] in Greek)
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]

I second [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Vincent[/name].

I think all three names would sound good with your last name. I like all of them but I would rank them:

  1. [name]Sebastian[/name]- it sounds quite exotic, is quite uncommon (at least where I live), and has a literary connection (though I have never read Twelfth [name]Night[/name] myself people tell me it is a great play)

  2. [name]Oliver[/name]- being one of the most popular names in the UK right now I think of [name]Oliver[/name] as quintessentially British and charming

  3. [name]Elliott[/name]- great name, just not as interesting as the other two to me. The “ell” sound makes it a bit feminine too.

bump! ideas welcome.
