Too Boring?

Boy Names
1

::For story::

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Harry[/name_m] is too boring next to siblings [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], & [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]? Also, would you think it’s a little odd for him to be the only one without a 3 syllable name?

I keep trying to find more playful names that are 3 syllables, and I’ve found some nice ones that work well with the sisters, but I keep coming back to [name_m]Harry[/name_m]. Current favourites for backups are [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].

I’m not a fan of [name_m]Harry[/name_m], honestly. I think it’s boring, yes. [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] is my favorite for you!

I don’t think the problem is necessarily the two syllables, but [name_m]Harry[/name_m] does feel a bit more expected than the sister names.

Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Albert[/name_m]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
Cel!a, Eul@lie, Be@trix, & [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]

I’ve wondered this too since we have a [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and our one of our top choices for a boy is [name_m]Harry[/name_m]. I don’t know, I think they go well together! Actually, I think [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] doesn’t fit as well as [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] do. [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] would get my second vote.

5

I agree that [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] fits well. Also [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_f]May[/name_f] work with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] too!

[name_u]Florian[/name_u] came to mind right away

I think it fits just fine, especially if you’re outside the UK, where [name_m]Harry[/name_m] is so perennially popular to feel a bit… expected (I wouldn’t say boring).

But [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]!! I love the light, quirky clunkiness of it — a perfect brother for [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] especially. [name_u]Florian[/name_u] also feels like a great fit for the same reasons, or how do you feel about something like [name_m]Marius[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] or [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]?

I think [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] really works with the sibset!

I really like [name_m]Harry[/name_m] with the sibset, and can’t see any problem there. Not boring to me. [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] is my 2nd choice.

Thank you everyone!

@yuma & @katinka Thank you so much! [name_m]Marius[/name_m] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u] were wonderful suggestions and I think I’ve decided to go with [name_m]Marius[/name_m].
