Looking for boy ideas... Our DD is E-vangeline P-hillippa (nn Evy; spelled with an extra L because it's a family name). We've already decided on W-ilhelmina D-iana (nn Willa) if our LO is a girl, but can't agree on a single boy name. I like Julian, Killian, and Tristan. My husband likes Magnus and Geralt. We've been discussing boy names since before we knew what our DD was and we're still in a rut. Help!
ETA: I need suggestions. The names we like are just an example of what we like, but neither of us like any names from the others list.
Love Magnus! Julian is lovely as well. Personally I'm over Tristan. Geralt has me going 'what???' (I clearly have never heard of Witcher :"D) and although Cillian Murphy is wonderful, I'm not too fond of the word 'kill' in the name.
From your girls' names I get a classic with a foreign twist-style (adore Wilhelmina nn Willa!!), so in that light: Linus Oscar Otis Cedric Rasmus Julius August Beau Frederick Henrik Sebastian Bernard
I really want to like Magnus, but I just can't do it! It's one of those names that I'd love it on anyone else's little boy, but I can't bring myself to name my son it.
Our last name starts with an Ar- sound, ends in an -er sound, and is 3 syllables if that also helps.
I do like the suggestions of Ambrose, Alaric, August, and Sebastian. Thanks guys!
I will always associate Magnus with Magnum condoms. Sorry. Also that and Geralt are just... I don't know. They sound like names of huge, ancient warrior dudes. That might get a little awkward if you little boy is a sweet little chess geek.

I think Julian is a great name.
That's exactly why my husband likes those names. He's throwing out these names that scream Viking to me! He also said Greyden and I immediately said Greyden papers? I feel so lost with him. It's either ancient Nordic or trendy!
@saham07 Well, that's kind of the point behind asking for suggestions. I just can't bring myself to name my child after a video game character or so close to a condom. Our lists were merely to show our styles. We won't be using any of my tired ideas either.

Okay, well that's good! I had no idea that name was a video game character. Magnus is the best of both list (I don't associate Magnus with condoms) adding: Maximus Otto Cyrus Conrad Arlo Axel Alec Pius Ludwig Hugh Edison Keller Oscar

It's been a long time since I've been on this board, but was just thinking of baby names and came by to lurk for a bit. Interesting that I came across this post. My children are Kilian.Thomas and Evangeline.Harper. So yeah, Kilian, Killian, Cillian (any variation thereof) gets my vote!
