Looking for a quirky yet classic boys name... Help!

[claireelise]

How about:
Adrian
Archer
Theodore
Alistair
Linden
Graeme
Gideon

From your list, I LOVE:
Arthur, August and Desmond

Good luck deciding - your daughter's name is gorgeous btw!

You have some terrific prospective names here. Arthur, August, Bruno, Desmond, Felix, Harold, Henry, Julian, Oscar, Roscoe and Truman all appeal to me. Graham [feels trendy and 90's to me] and Ewan are the only two that don't.

Some first/middle-pairing ideas for you ...

01. Desmond Arthur
02. Felix Henry
03. Julian August
04. Truman Harold

P.S.
I'm thrilled to know of someone else who finds the name Harold endearing. Nicknamed Harry, he could be a real winner .

Owen
Rupert
Carlisle
Campbell
Chester
Duncan

I love so many names on your list! I wish you'd reconsider Bruno and Roscoe, because those are some seriously awesome names! Some great suggestions in this thread - one that I haven't seen is Cecil, which I think could fit your theme.

Crunchy mama - we do indeed have he same style! Engue - I believe bruno is german for brown but I can't be positive, it is very popular in south American countries though my my little ones just happen to be half Colombian! Owen for me is just way too popular, especially considering we live in a part of Spain that has connections with Ireland and literally 60% of the Irish males I know here are Owen. However they are eoin or another Irish spelling.

Anyway I think I've found my baby's name....

Oh my I didn't see the newer posts:

I actually really like 90% of your suggestions but most have been mentioned and vetoed for some reason or another, mostly by my husband! It breaks my heart that I can't use Theodore but Eleanor and Theodore! Next up Roosevelt lol b

So I talked to my husband about the name Truman and he actually likes it. There are so many great men with this name and it fits into our quirky yet classic category! What do you all think? If you don't like it please tell me why because I like to see thugs from all sides!

Hooray!

Truman is on my own "short" list: http://nameberry.com/nametalk/thread...g-and-debonair.

There, I have it paired with Oliver [Truman Oliver].

From your list of prospective middles, I recommend Truman Alexander.

I like Truman Alexander as well but DH thinks it's a bit long, I think it flows nicely.

Love Truman oliver btw!

Truman and Eleanor are very presidential! I love it though. Great choice for your family and no pronunciation concerns by living in a Spanish speaking country.

Truman is fine...but ever considered Gordon....ok ok, nevermind, Truman's a winner!
