HelpGustav
I'm kinda liking Gustav lately.
I've been listening to alot of Gustav Holst, and recently found out his middle name was THeodore.
This brings me to the next point, i've always wanted to use names of composers that I like for future kids middle names (mainly Claude, for Claude Debussy or Bela for Bela Bartok), but Gustav is pretty cool. My dad's nickname in high school was Gus, which is kinda a cute honouring. I think Gustav would possibly be too much for our names and our SN (Arnold) however what about:
Theodore Gustav Stewart (Arnold)
Possible matching male sibling could be:
Wilfred Gabriel Claude (Arnold)
Each boy with one family name (Gabriel, Stewart) and one composers name (Gustav, Claude)

As a Swede where Gustav is very popular, all I can say is "meh". There's nothing wrong with the name. It's common, classic and even used for Swedish royalties (our king is Carl Gustaf). That said, I find it a bit boring. It would be a different story outside Scandinavia/Germany though. I don't really like how it sounds in English though, it sounds to...stuffy and gothic, somehow.
Theodore Gustav Stewart is an alright combo though, and I love Theodore. As for the sibset, I'd much rather see Theodore and Gabriel used as the first name. But it's a charming and vintage sibset :)
