I love both [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]! For me personally [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] might be my favourite from this list. [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] is strong and knightly but, it has a soft feeling as well, as most F starting names have for me. I like [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and it sounds great with [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] reminds me of [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_u]Verne[/name_u].

Rubeus is a great name! It sounds balanced and adventurous. I also immediately think about Rubeus [name_m]Hagrid[/name_m] from [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. I don’t remember hearing [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] before so his name is like a blanc page to me. Nickname [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is wonderful!

Ignatius is so powerful and I really like it with middle name [name_u]Jule[/name_u]! I imagine fire and flames.

The name Ozymandius is new for me. Quite a mouthful but very pretty. I think about the sonnets called ozymandias. I really like [name_u]Jem[/name_u] and I think it forms a good pair with Ozymandius.

Endymion is an attractive name. I like that it’s a name from Greek mythology. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is a fitting middle here as well.

Constantine is lovely. It feels royal and luxurious, maybe because of the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] emperor, but not over the top. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] complements [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] perfectly. Maybe this name is actually my favourite!

Idris is a little shorter than you other options and your sons’ names but it feels just as magnificent. I think [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is a good middle name.

Thelonious is spunky, although the length makes it a bit heavy. After repeating it a few times it sounds very melodious to me. [name_m]Thelonious[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u] sounds great.

Campion is a gorgeous nature name although it looks a bit like a misspelling of champion. Once again, [name_u]Jules[/name_u] seems a good middle name!

Seamus [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m] sounds so good! I love this name and it’s maybe my favourite, so [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m] forms my top 3 with [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] [name_u]Jules[/name_u].

Taliesin [name_m]Hercule[/name_m] is so unique and I imagine a brave hero!

I think [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] is a very handsome name. The others aren’t really my style.

I like [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] and [name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] the best, although I love the name [name_m]Seamus[/name_m].

I’m going to rank them!

  1. Constantine [name_u]Jules[/name_u]: I’ve liked this name since I watched [name_f]Anna[/name_f] Karenina. Obviously, it’s the Russian form in the book “[name_u]Konstantin[/name_u]” but I always liked his nickname “[name_u]Kostya[/name_u]” (pronounced Coast-ya). That being said, I think [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is known to most people and is one of those great names that ages well with a boy. It has many nicknames to choose from that could fit any personality.
  2. Ignatius [name_u]Jule[/name_u]: Growing up Catholic, [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] was always a strong [name_m]Saint[/name_m]’s name that I heard passed around. I don’t like [name_u]Jule[/name_u] as much as [name_u]Jules[/name_u], because of the vaping product “[name_f]Juul[/name_f]”. However, my name is [name_u]Julie[/name_u] and I’ve been called both.
  3. Seamus [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m]: This one has my favorite nickname. [name_u]Shea[/name_u] is such a nice unisex name. And it ages well. He could go by both in the future. Also, [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] is a strong name.
  4. Ferdinand [name_u]Jules[/name_u] or [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]: I like [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] more, just because I’m more formal. It does remind me of [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] the bull though.
  5. Endymion [name_u]Jules[/name_u]: love the nickname! [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] is dreamy and poetic. I like it.
  6. Campion [name_u]Jules[/name_u]: One of my school professor’s goes by [name_m]Kip[/name_m] and he’s older, so I think the nickname could stick forever. I’ve never heard Campion used but it seems easy to spell and pronounce. Again, a strong choice.
  7. Idris [name_m]Julian[/name_m]: [name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_f]Elba[/name_f] made this name known so I always think of him first. A handsome, talented actor is a great association for a name. Also, [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is one of my favorites.
  8. Thelonious [name_u]Jule[/name_u]: Reminds me of [name_m]Thelonius[/name_m] Monk. I like the nn [name_m]Till[/name_m] though.
  9. Rubeus [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u]: Not a huge [name_m]Hagrid[/name_m] fan. I prefer [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]. But [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is a cute nn.
  10. Ozymandius [name_u]Jem[/name_u]: The poem! Too hard to spell. [name_u]Jem[/name_u] is a guilty pleasure and also my initials.
    11.[name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_m]Hercule[/name_m]: I think people would really struggle to pronounce and spell this one. Of course, you do whatever you want and love, but I always like to take that into account. [name_m]Hercule[/name_m] reminds me of Poirot.

I really like [name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is also cool. I think Ozymandius is my least favorite, I’m not sure how wearable it is. But I adore [name_u]Jem[/name_u]! [name_u]Idris[/name_u] and [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] would be my sibset of choice but I might change [name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] to [name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_u]Jem[/name_u] because [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] are probably too close. I’d also suggest [name_u]Augustine[/name_u], [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m], and Riodan.

[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - In all honesty, [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] seems like it would be difficult to wear irl, though the adorable nn [name_m]Ferdi[/name_m] might change my mind.

[name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] - [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is very handsome! A cool name that’s definitely growing on me! Very nice with [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] in the middle!

Rubeus [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] - Rubeus is so soft and lovely! One of my favorites from your list!

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u] - Depending on where you live, pronunciation may be an issue, especially if those in your area aren’t familiar with it.

Ozymandius [name_u]Jem[/name_u] - This is another one that I don’t think is wearable enough for a first name, but the combo flows well.

[name_m]Endymion[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - nms, but could definitely work! I love the imagery I get from this! [name_f]Regal[/name_f], but not overly formal.

[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - [name_m]Tin[/name_m] [name_m]Tin[/name_m] and [name_m]Till[/name_m] are such great nn options! [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is so handsome!

[name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] - Doesn’t appeal to me personally, but could definitely work!

[name_m]Thelonious[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u] - See Ozymandius [name_u]Jem[/name_u].

Campion [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - Doesn’t appeal to me.

[name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]! Such a handsome name! [name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favorite from your list!

[name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_m]Hercule[/name_m] - nms, and could lead to pronunciation issue depending on where you live.

Ferdinand [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - I love [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] so much. I have such a soft spot for the name. I think it’s so adorable and cuddly, while also having that added strength behind it. I do agree that maybe not everyone would consider it usable, but if anyone were to wear it well, it’d most likely be your child! H, A, & F seem like perfect brother names. [name_m]Ferdi[/name_m] is so cute, too.
[name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] - I think [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is so sweet and soft. Everytime I see the name it makes me smile, and I’d love to meet a little [name_u]Jules[/name_u]. I think I like how [name_u]Jules[/name_u] follows that uncommon, yet familiar theme your other boys names have! I’m torn between this and [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u], I still can’t tell which one I love more.
Rubeus [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] - [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is my all time favorite name, and I love the idea of it on a boy, so I’m slightly biased. I think Rubeus is soft and sweet, and is really memorable. [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] feels a bit more cool and edgy, which I like with softer Rubeus! (I’m not a huge harry potter fan, but I remember [name_m]Hagrid[/name_m] being one of my favorites when I was younger, so I don’t think the association is a bad one!)
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u] - I have a cousin whose middle name is [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]! It was the first time I’d heard it, and I thought it was so cool. I think it’s such a strong, powerful name so I love it paired with sweet [name_u]Jule[/name_u]. A perfect balance! [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] is a great nn too.
Ozymandius [name_u]Jem[/name_u] - Ozymandius is a lot of a name. Maybe too much. It could definitely work though, as [name_m]Oz[/name_m] is friendly and approachable. It just isn’t my favorite. Absolutely adore [name_u]Jem[/name_u] though!
[name_m]Endymion[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - I love this sooo much! It’s handsome, soft, dreamy, magical, dashing, poetic. What a perfect name. I think he’d make such a great match with H & A (and [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] has that hidden ‘io’ as well!) [name_u]Jules[/name_u] seems to perfectly balance the name as well. [name_u]Day[/name_u] is also the cutest nickname.
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - I’ve always liked the name [name_u]Constantine[/name_u]. I think it’s so strong. [name_m]Tin[/name_m] [name_m]Tin[/name_m] really makes it softer and more down to earth, I think. I do, however, think it’s missing a certain spark your other names have.
[name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] - I’ve never personally been that big of a fan of [name_u]Idris[/name_u]. I do think it’s handsome though, and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is the sweetest. It does go nicely with H & A!
[name_m]Thelonious[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u] - ooo, [name_m]Thelonious[/name_m] is on my guilty pleasures list! I first heard the name on the show The 100, and I fell in love with it. I have it on my list with the nickname [name_u]Theo[/name_u], but I looove [name_m]Till[/name_m]!! This combo is strong, yet soft and definitely memorable.
Campion [name_u]Jules[/name_u] - I have a very unfortunate association with someone whose last name was Campion, so I don’t love it for personal reasons. I do see the appeal though, and [name_m]Kip[/name_m] is one of my absolute favorites!
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m] - I know a little [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], and he’s the cutest! [name_u]Shea[/name_u] is such a sweet, cool nickname. [name_m]Nicodem[/name_m] is one of my favorites too! I do think [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] maybe isn’t as magical as your other boys names. I’d personally prefer if the combo was reversed!
[name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_m]Hercule[/name_m] - I think [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] sounds brave and heroic, and very very cool. I do imagine there’d be some pronunciation issues though. I adore [name_m]Hercule[/name_m]. This combo just sounds like the name of a hero in a fantasy novel!

My absolute favorite is [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u]. I just cannot get over how perfect the name is, and how perfectly it pairs with H & A. Followed (very) close behind would be
[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], [name_m]Thelonious[/name_m] [name_u]Jule[/name_u], and [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_m]Hercule[/name_m]!

[name_u]Idris[/name_u] Julian , “Id” if necessary

I’m not a fan of [name_m]Thelonious[/name_m]. Neither the sounds nor the appearance appeal to me
