Sibling for Bastien Alexander

Hi Berries,

I just had my firstborn, a son that we named Bastien Alexander. I’m over the moon - and already thinking about names for his future sibling(s), even though I don’t plan on getting pregnant immediately.

I feel like Bastien Alexander has a European vibe, which I like, and I would like to narrow down names that give a similar vive for future siblings.

Top contenders for first names are:

Mathias or Hugo for a boy
Eve for a girl

Potential middle names:

Boy: Arthur, Felix, Gabriel, Julian, Oliver, Raphael
Girl: Alice, Arianne, Daphne, Delphine, Juliette, Marianne

My favorite combos:

Mathias Gabriel
Mathias Raphael
Mathias Julian

Hugo Gabriel
Hugo Oliver
Hugo Felix

Eve Juliette
Eve Delphine
Eve Marianne

Thoughts on these combos? Suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations! Bastien/Bastian is one of my absolute favourite names and was very nearly my son’s middle name (and possibly would have been his first if my partner liked it more).

I love your choices for a second child, especially Hugo. I’ve always loved Hugo and wish it wasn’t so popular where I am (Australia). Hugo Felix is perfection (Felix was actually our other top choice for our son - we have very similar taste)!

I like all of your other choices as well. Eve Delphine is so gorgeous for Bastien’s sister! Here are some other names you may like:

I really like [name_m]Elio[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_u]Milo[/name_u], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] and [name_u]Orion[/name_u] for a boy, and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] for a girl. Husband is not on board for these however unfortunately (he is picky and doesn’t like as much names as I do).

Thanks for your great suggestions!

Thanks everyone for your input! It makes me want to have another boy and a girl to use those gorgeous names.

Favorites at the moment are [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] has a significant meaning for my younger brother and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is an honor name on my side. [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] would be a nod to my wedding because I had delphinium blue flowers in my bouquet :heart:

[name_m]Mathias[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] are great options too.
