Name Help: A Brother Name for Edie and Rupert

 

Rachael is expecting her third baby -- gender unknown -- to join Edie and Rupert. 

Racheal writes: "My daughter is Edie Amelia Hope and my son is Thomas Rupert Jack but we call him Rupert (Roo) as the name Thomas is a 5th generation name from my husbands side.

The name we have chosen if it is a girl would be Maeve Olivia Faith (previously Rupert's girl name which I still adore) but absolutely stumped on another boys name. 

 

Preferences: 

* not another “R” name

*can be nicknamed but not necessary 

*flow into a double middle name as that is a tradition on my side

*not be in the current top 100 for 1st name but happy for 2nd and 3rd to come anywhere.

*familiar name but not popular 

*easy to sound and spell. 

 

I only have one name on my love list at the moment and that is Frederick but my husband isn’t too excited by it."

Edie and Rupert are such lovely sweet yet quirky names. Beatrix Potter mixed with Harry Potter vibes here for me. Maeve is a fantastic complement to the set -- gorgeous! Hopefully, there will be a few names here to pad out your boys' name list. 

 

Dominic – The sophistication and similar sound of Frederick but without the top 100 status. Dominic is a friendly and stylish name at #115. 

Wilfred – The same element that starts Frederick can also be found in quirky, vintage Wilfred which currently sits at #183. 

Maxwell –Maxwell is an affable and stylish traditional with a tailored appeal. It's below the top 100, but easy to spell and familiar. 

Jonah – Biblical and stylish which is familiar but also unexpected. For a Roman feel, there is also suave variant Jonas. 

Hugo – At #50, Hugo may be popular for your tastes as a first name, but it makes a fantastically debonair yet quirky middle name. 

Barnaby – With Victorian charm, upright elegance and a friendly vibe. Barnaby has plenty of charm and quirkiness while still being familiar and friendly. 

Phineas – A great "Beatrix Potter meets Harry Potter" name, Phineas has bags of character but is still familiar. 

Jasper – Cool and edgy, amiable and friendly, Jasper has just entered the top 100, but at #98, it's still less than 0.1% of all babies born. 

Felix – A refined name with the slick and fashionable x ending. It, too, has crept into the top 100, but is only #99. 

Alistair – A sophisticated Scottish twist on heroic Alexander with heaps of cheery, jovial charm. 

Tobias – With its genial Dickensian vibe, Tobias sports the fashionable -s ending giving this traditional a modern edge. Sleek variant Tobin is also worth considering. 

Miles/Myles – Solid, dashing and also pretty darn cute as well. Miles is a sturdy reliable that has never been overused (or in the top 100). 

Nathaniel – A sleek Biblical choice with Victorian vibe and genial feel. Nate makes a very stylish nickname. 

Tristan – A dashing, urbane and knightly name which has plenty of history and familiarity but sits at #163. 

Josiah – A quirky Biblical name with Dickensian charm, easy vowels and #280 ranking. 

Lachlan – A dapper Scottish name which heralds back to ancient Scandinavia. A longstanding name which feels fresh and crisp. Similar Declan is also worth considering. 

Fraser – Fraser for me is a bit like tartan. Scottish, traditional, decorous and delightfully quirky and cheerful. 

 

 

I hope this has been of use. Best wishes for finding the perfect name.
