Naming a third son is proving a very pressurised situation. I want a name I love as much as my other sons' names and there are many that I love a whole lot (with the obstacle being my husband). Just because I'm hot and bored, indulge me and pick your top two from this list: Rupert Quentin Jarvis Reuben Jude Kit Crispin Silas Cassius Fabian Magnus Orson Jago Benedict (can you think of a nickname other than Ben or Ned?) Maximus Vincent Otto Ivo

QUOTE Benedict (can you think of a nickname other than Ben or Ned?) Bendydick. (Seriously, a rather famous Benedict was nicknamed Bendy-d*ck Come-on-my-baps by his classmates!) But...I love the name nevertheless! It would be my favourite off this list. I think Reuben would be next, although Vincent would be a contender also.

I like Ivo but prefer Yvo or Yves personally. Orson is pretty cool. Vincent Benedict Cassius - I love this name but not the meaning or associations. Actually, I love your list. Almost all of them are awesome imo.

They're all really REALLY N.M.S but I would have to say Vincent is alright.
