Hi! Looking for suggestions for a name for our baby boy coming this summer. Our front runner is Julian… I wish it was less popular, but right now it’s the only name we love.
We don’t like most of the suggestions that come when you look up names like Julian (Wesley, August, Oliver, etc). Two boy names we do like but can’t use are Remy and Jude. Big sisters are Esme and Sylv!e.
Any ideas? Or is Julian the one?
Thank you!
Names like [name_m]Julian[/name_m], but in a [name_m]Jude[/name_m] and [name_m]Remy[/name_m] direction, rather than [name_m]August[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. I’m thinking of:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Rafe[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Reggie[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Elliot[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Isidore[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Calihan[/name_m], [name_m]Callahan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Artie[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jaco[/name_m], [name_m]Jago[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Louis[/name_m] or [name_m]Louie[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Clement[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to let us know if any of these hit the spot/those that you don’t like; it helps people who read the whole thread to hone their suggestions 
I’d suggest…
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
I really like [name_m]Julian[/name_m], especially with his sister’s names.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Remy[/name_m], [name_m]Jude[/name_m] + sisters feel very elegant, gentle and not overly serious or stuffy.
Maybe something like…
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hart[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sullivan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Luca[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Nico[/name_m] (Nicholas)
I love [name_m]Julian[/name_m]!
[name_f][/name_f]I think that even if it is popular, it’s also very classic and timeless.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Elliott[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Luca[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Rafe[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ralph[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Flynn[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] is nice! With big sisters’ names and along with [name_m]Remy[/name_m] and [name_m]Jude[/name_m], maybe:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Blaise[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Tristan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cove[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Elias[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Alwin[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jace[/name_m]
Hopefully these help! 
You have lots of great suggestions but I love [name_m]Julian[/name_m] for you!
I think [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is gorgeous 
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] is such a distinguished, handsome name that feels timeless, in my opinion unexpected and summery. I think [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is gorgeous sounds fab with your girls. You could go [name_m]Julius[/name_m]? Maybe [name_m]Julius[/name_m] is rarer in your area.
[name_f][/name_f]You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

I always loved my uncle [name_m]Jules[/name_m] name. Maybe you don’t hear it as much in [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking areas.
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] is great [name_f][/name_f]- handsome, solid and international!

Good luck!
I really like [name_m]Julian[/name_m]! And it’s not like there’ll be Julians everwhere, only about 1 out of every 300 baby boys was named [name_m]Julian[/name_m] last year.
[name_f][/name_f]But if you really want a less popular name, what about…
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Damian[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Julius[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Louis[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lucian[/name_m]?
You’re in a great position having one name you both love! I think of [name_m]Julian[/name_m] as an underused classic so I think it’s a very strong choice.
[name_f][/name_f]You’ve already had lots of great suggestions so I’ll only add a few.
