I’m still looking for just the right middle name for Julian. I know, I know, I’ve asked before, so feel free to ignore if you’re bored of this.
Julian Oscar is definitely one I like, but I’m just not sure it has any of the flair and catchiness of Sholto Felix or Tristan Rafferty. (If you think it does, you can convince me!)
Some others I’m pondering:
Julian Quincey
Julian Forrest Too Julian Fawcett or is that just me overthinking because of Ghosts brainrot?
Julian Cosmo
What would you pair with Julian?
Something with a bit flair but probably more like Rafferty, Evander, Truett or Omri than Wildflower or Bravery (those are endlessly cool but probably not my style!) Still, open to any suggestions really, if you love how it sounds!
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is great – it’s handsome, stylish, classic yet fresh, and works in many languages. However, I understand that it’s less exciting than some of your other choices.
I like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Quincey[/name_u], but something about it looks off-balance to me? Maybe because [name_u]Quincey[/name_u] is fewer syllables than [name_u]Julian[/name_u] but longer visually? [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] is handsome as well. I hadn’t heard of [name_u]Julian[/name_u] Fawcett, but having looked him up I don’t think I can say whether it’s too similar as I’m not from the UK so I don’t know how prominent that reference is. [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] is also very cool and fresh. It’s my favorite of these three.
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was to use the [name_m]German[/name_m] variation of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and spell it with a ‘k’. Somehow changing that letter gives [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] some flair! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] feels more unexpected and I think it is a nice combo.
From your list, [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] is a great alternative!
I tried to come up with some cool ideas that still fit that classic vibe!
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Maverick[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Asher[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Basil[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Pascal[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] (This one might be a little too “Wildflower”, but I thought it could fit in the same category as [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] too, and I just loved the flow of it!)
@EagleEyes thank you for your honest thoughts!! I don’t think [name_u]Julian[/name_u] Fawcett is too common association and I’m overthinking really, I just think my family would know I’d been thinking of the character I’m liking [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] too!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Poe[/name_u] are nice!! Thank you!!
@macy13 thank you!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] is cool!! Ireally like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u], and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Onyx[/name_u]! I agree that [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] leans more towards [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] than Wildflower:)
@ElrynTheBookdragon thank you!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is wonderful
Ooh [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] is fab
I do love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] but I know what you mean about it being a little more pedestrian than the likes of [name_m]Sholto[/name_m] and [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]. I like the K spelling too and I think that gives it a touch more edge.
@katinka [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] is definitely growing on me!! I really like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Tavish[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] Kelso!! Thank you!!
I agree with your assessment of [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. It’s a fantastic combination if you’re wanting something vibrant but still squarely in the traditional camp. For me, [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] comes the closest in style to [name_m]Sholto[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m].
I will suggest [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Aleck[/name_m] (this spelling in particular), [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Tolliver[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oisín[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Baxter[/name_m].
@kachenka thank you for your thoughts!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Aleck[/name_m] are lovely!!
I always love hearing about your list! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is great (reminds me a bit of the Swedish princes but that wouldn’t be universal). But I also agree that it might be missing some flair, especially next to [name_m]Sholto[/name_m]. I do like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m].
@lateaugust thank you for your thoughts!! these suggestions are great -I especially like [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m], [name_m]Rhodri[/name_m] and Caradoc!!
@AlisonCD thank you!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Horatio[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] are great!!
@Oblivious_octopus i do like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Adair[/name_u] [name_u]Clancy[/name_u], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Ames[/name_m], and [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] are cool! Thank you!!
@somemelodioussonnet thank you!! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Gus[/name_u] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Golden[/name_u] are great!!
I actually really like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Omri[/name_m] if you like that! [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] is really handsome, and I don’t think the fame of Ghosts is big enough that it would be a problem, unless it’s an overwhelming association for you.
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is timeless, mature and upbeat but I must say [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Quincey[/name_u] immediately grabbed my attention. It’s unexpected, fun and an equal balance of modern and quirky. [name_m]Even[/name_m] gives a bit of royal prince Bridgerton vibes. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!!
@findemaxa13 thank you! I think I’m probably overthinking the Ghosts thing since it takes up a big part of my brain
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] are great!
@anamingstory thank you!! I’m glad you like [name_u]Quincey[/name_u]
[name_u]Clancy[/name_u], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Ames[/name_m], and [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] are cool! Thank you!!
