Name for Baby Boy... One More Time Please!
I thought we were done, but no... really sorry to do this again but here we go.
My boyfriend was a bit on the fence with Faramir and now he doesn't want it anymore, and i had the most awful pregnancy dream about Gawain and I can't use that name now. So I found some names I'm really excited about, and I'd just like to hear what you think. Some I threw out and I can't for the life of me remember why, and some new ones I never considered before. Thanks so much!

Alaric - Love it. Is on my sister's list so it's not on mine, but I really like it.
Hector - This is cool. It's a bit loaded for me, (In my hometown it is reasonable that the reaction of my friends/family would rotate around "stripedsocks, you don't even SPEAK Spanish...") but I think it's really usable in the UK.
Roland - Adore this.
Tiberius - I love this, but I possibly like Thaddeus and Lazarus more. Tobias is probably downright boring/mainstream to you?
I find Orville pretty unusable but like Oisin and Eoin so maybe I'm not to be trusted.
Seneca would bug me a lot but I associate it with the Iroquois tribe and I find all those Dakota/Cheyenne type names a bit disturbing and appropriative. But I assume you're going for the Roman philosopher... there are just a lot of other Roman names I like more.
Pelleas reminds me of Peregrine and Pallas, which I'm fond of, but I'd probably keep them middle names.
