Heya, I just said to my husband, imagine if we had a son, how about the boys’ name…and nothing came out. Boys’ names don’t stick for me, so thought would get some inspo via a game. If you’re up for it: 1. A boy name that reminds you of where /when you grew up 2. The fanciest / frilliest boy name you would actually use 3. The simplest, most basic or stripped back boy name you would actually use 4. A boy name that gives you wintertime imagery 5. Your newest boy name love - or at least intrigue 6. You favourite W boy name 7. A name that evokes genuine good guy, decent fellow imagery 8. A boy name from your extended family or ancestry that you like 9. A boy name that you think would suit you if you were a boy (or would otherwise suit you if you already have a boys’ name) 10. The name for a boy who is the cheekiest chappy, life of the party type! Thanks 🎉 ---

I love a name game! 1. Fen or Fenn, I can’t decide which spelling I prefer. 2. Nikolai, if it was culturally appropriate for the child. (I’m not Russian but I’m single, so I give myself creative licence because a partner could bring any ethnicity, right?) I appreciate that Nikolai is a totally down to earth name for Russians! 3. Arlo. A few contenders here, as that’s my style with names I’d actually use. 4. I love Winter itself as a boy name. Other than this literal choice, Andri. 5. Nels ❤ 6. Willow. 7. Alexander. 8. Shepherd, as a first and middle, Henry Shepherd. 9. Sam. 10. Loki! ---

I really like your three A names, and [name\_m]Wesley[/name\_m] is very cool, though I am attached to [name\_m]Westley[/name\_m] because of The [name\_f]Princess[/name\_f] [name\_f]Bride[/name\_f]. 😆 ---

I really like Fenn/Fen, it reminds me of my current Fyfe/Fife crush but Fenn might be more usable. And I really like Neils - close to Nels. Andri is intruguing… …and of course, Loki! 🐟🐍🐎 (my friend called her son Loki, he’s about 5 now). ---

[name\_m]Silver[/name\_m] would be such a good one! I know a young girl with that name. [name\_m]Logan[/name\_m] & [name\_m]Ryan[/name\_m] sound like a cracking pair! ---

[name\_m]Aneurin[/name\_m] is handsome! (Had to look up pronunciation). So are [name\_m]Robin[/name\_m] & [name\_m]Toby[/name\_m]. Your family member has/had a happy making name! ---

1. [name\_m]Conrad[/name\_m] 2. [name\_m]Augustine[/name\_m] or [name\_m]Ignatius[/name\_m]?

[name\_m]Caspar[/name\_m]! Because [name\_f]Christmas[/name\_f] lol 5. Haven’t added a new name to my boys’ list for a while, but probably [name\_m]Drake[/name\_m], [name\_f]Vale[/name\_f], [name\_m]Frey[/name\_m], or Audric… been really liking those 4 lately. 6. [name\_m]Whit[/name\_m]. I haven’t found a full name for it I really like, though, unfortunately. 7. [name\_m]Asa[/name\_m] ❤ 8. [name\_f]Avery[/name\_f]! (also his middle name, [name\_m]Shadrach[/name\_m] lol) 9. Sam/Samuel or Charles/Charlie? Maybe [name\_m]Levi[/name\_m]. [name\_m]Or[/name\_m] [name\_m]Peter[/name\_m]! 10.
