I find that with our 2 syllable last name, ending in “ley”, 3 or 4 syllable names sound really good.
My picks for girls are:
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Agatha[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]
…etc
My problem is when it comes to boy’s names I find many of the longer names too pretentious or something.
Can you help me find one to fall in love with!? Please??
Ok here are some of my favorites…
[name]Amedee[/name]
[name]Amedeo[/name]
[name]Alasdair[/name]
[name]Amias[/name]
[name]Callaway[/name] ([name]Cal[/name]?)
Coriander
Oleander
[name]Leander[/name]
[name]Lysander[/name]
[name]Edison[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name] (nn [name]Red[/name]?)
Iskinder
[name]Indiana[/name]
[name]Madigan[/name]
[name]Maverick[/name]
[name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
I don’t know how you feel about nicknames but a lot of these names have friendly approachable nicknames that might help with the alleviate the pretentious sound of the full name?
Thanks!
I really like…
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Leander[/name]
and never thought of [name]Callaway[/name] before and I really like the feel of it!
These names seem more laid back to me and that is what I am looking for.
Any other suggestions?
[name]Benedict[/name] ([name]Ben[/name])
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Finnian[/name]
[name]Gardiner[/name] (I know it is pretentious, I just like it!)
[name]Harrison[/name] ([name]Harris[/name])
[name]Thaddeus[/name] ([name]Thad[/name])
Sorry if repeat… just whatever come to my mind:
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Dominique[/name] /[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Bartholomew[/name]
[name]Jefferson[/name]

[name]Finnian[/name]

I am a little concerned with their popularity but I don’t think any of them are the new [name]Aiden[/name]. Most of my girl choices are not in top 1,000 but I will probably have to go more mainstream for boys.
More ideas-
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
Ezekial
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Rafferty[/name]
[name]Lorenzo[/name]
[name]Zachariah[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Damian[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name]
[name]Garrison[/name]
[name]Zebedee[/name]
[name]Anderson[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Alexi[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Lazarus[/name]
[name]Anthony[/name]
[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Emilio[/name]
[name]Jedidiah[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
Finneus
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Flannery[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name]
[name]Romeo[/name]
Great list! I can’t use most for one reason or the other but I do think I will add [name]Solomon[/name] and [name]Lazarus[/name] to my list. I actually love [name]Elliot[/name] but my husband is not too keen.
Thanks!
