Hey, everyone.
I’m trying to shift my name list into something more conventionally “usable”, and boy names are giving me a headache, so I’m calling in the experts!
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] has been my favorite boy name for years upon years. It’s everything that I adore in a name. Literary, Biblical ties that aren’t overbearing, a word that sounds like a name, peaceful, beautiful. It’s just perfect.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top five boy names right now are [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_u]Wilder[/name_u], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], and [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. Save for [name_u]Asher[/name_u], they’re all less popular but still familiar, which I adore. I’ve also been experimenting with names that I’ve always loved, but avoided adding to my list as first names because of nickname qualms, similarity to others higher on my list, and/or a preference for unusual names – [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Wesley[/name_u], [name_m]Knox[/name_m], [name_u]Asa[/name_u], and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].
I love the above names, but they don’t feel as special or beautiful as [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and my other top names. I’ve realized that it’s incredibly important to me to have names that sound like perfect brothers to [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u]. I just can’t imagine calling for my sons, [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], and forever feeling that one of my children got shortchanged.
All this to say:
What would you name [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] Pax’s brothers?
I would like them to be objectively usable, like [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m], but beautiful and a little more unusual, like [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u]. So if you happen to have any ideas for what I should add to me list, please let me hear them! And they absolutely do NOT need to be Biblical names, although I definitely see that theme among my favorites.
Thank you so much.
