Would [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] suit brothers EdmUnd and AmBr0se? I think my taste in boys’ names are a little too dramatic 
[name_f][/name_f] I’m also fond of 0cTaviaN! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband has vetoed [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], sadly 
I think both [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] and [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] go great with your sons’ names! [name_f][/name_f] I like [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] a little more than [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], but both are lovely. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m], [name_m]Valerian[/name_m], [name_m]Florian[/name_m], and [name_m]Flavian[/name_m] are also great and would be great with Edm.und and Ambr0se!
[name_f][/name_f]And that’s okay, I think your boys’ names are lovely! [name_f][/name_f] I know a little Ed.mund and adore Ambr0se myself! [name_f][/name_f] I don’t find them too much at all.
[name_f][/name_f]Others I like with your boys:
[name_f][/name_f]Theofield
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Reginald[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Archibald[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Pascal[/name_m] or [name_m]Pascoe[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Julius[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ivor[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Caspar[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Apollos[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
Good luck!

Thank you! I think [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] is my safer alternative for [name_m]Octavian[/name_m], so very relieved to see that you don’t find [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] too much with both brother names! x

I think they both work really well with your sons’ names! [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] is more dramatic but it also has some really fun nicknames (Tavi or [name_m]Tav[/name_m] or Otto) which [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] doesn’t really, so I’d say they’re equally usable! Maybe you’d also like [name_m]Florian[/name_m], [name_m]Dorian[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Emilian[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]?
yes!! [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] is great with E and A!! [name_m]Arty[/name_m] and charming but outdoorsy and sunny too

[name_f]Love[/name_f] all those qualities you’ve mentioned 
[name_f][/name_f] Those are the kinds of connotations I’m searching for in a name x

I think so! Octavian works too and I like the nn’s for it more than for Fabian, but goes slightly further afield while Fabian feels more cohesive.
Florian is a mix of the two!
Other names:
Rafferty
Nathanial
Oscar
Rupert
Wilfred
Phineas
Benedict
Kasper
Philip “Pip”
Gideon
Maximilian
Vincent
Hamish
Sebastian
Tobias
Lucien
Felix
Any appeal?
With E & A, both [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] & [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] work fabulously! [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] is a little more regal & academic perhaps, while [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] feels a little more outdoorsy & relaxed, but they both have that literary hero feel of your boys!
