stuck again - brother for Sylvan and Cosima

Boy Names
1

Ok. Less than a month to go, and I’m still not crazy about any of my boy list! Which at times seems like a DIRE EMERGENCY due to pregnancy brain and so forth.
We aren’t peeking, and we need a few names for both boy and girl so we can decide upon meeting babe.

Siblings are [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] [name_m]Melvin[/name_m] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (goes by Cozy [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]).
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]‘t settled firmly on the girls’ list either, but am strongly leaning toward [name_f]Nell[/name_f] [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] as frontrunner.

But boys… argh! So much harder to pin down!

Last name begins with A, and I have been playing around with A names a lot lately.

Current scattershot short list, a good chunk of which has been/will likely be vetoed by DH and/or myself when I wake up tomorrow:

[name_u]Abbott[/name_u]
[name_m]Aesop[/name_m]
[name_u]Alcott[/name_u]
[name_u]Jay[/name_u] (just put this up, am really liking the simplicity! would need a great middle)
[name_u]Perrin[/name_u] nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]

potential middles:
[name_m]Boon[/name_m]
[name_u]Paz[/name_u]
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
Loxley
[name_m]Flint[/name_m]

SO VERY OPEN to fresh suggestions… help a girl out.

I think [name_m]Aesop[/name_m] and [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] fit the most. Maybe [name_m]Aesop[/name_m] [name_m]Flint[/name_m] or [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] [name_u]Onyx[/name_u].

Other suggestions…

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Godfrey[/name_m] [name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Sigurd[/name_m] [name_m]Justus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]Horace[/name_m]
Wulfric [name_m]Georges[/name_m]
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Callan[/name_m]
[name_m]Thorin[/name_m] [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] or [name_m]Thorin[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
…

Thanks for your reply! Ooh, I like [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], and [name_m]Thorin[/name_m] is great!

From your list, I think Rémy is the best “fit” with [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. I also like [name_m]Remus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Remy[/name_u] too. It has the same Continental flair. [name_m]Louis[/name_m] would be my second choice. I’m not feeling any of the rest. Here are some more “exotic” suggestions.

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
Lothaire
[name_m]Macario[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregor[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Hector[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

Was inspired by this post! I just love the name [name_u]Remy[/name_u]!

[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Beauregard[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I like these and will add em to the maybes:
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]

These are out due to friends’ names and/or prior vetoes:
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregor[/name_m]
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ludovic[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]/[name_m]Augustine[/name_m]
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]

A lot of the others seem like… too much to me. I’m really finding it hard to feel the balance point between unusual/unique and out-there…

Well, none of these wonderful boy names were necessary after all!
