A Mesh of Styles: Boy Edition

Hey (again) everyone! This is going to be a repeat of our girl thread, so if you read that, just picture that but for a boy! For those that didn’t see our girl thread, here is our predicament:

We’re going to be first time parents and naming our child is extremely terrifying to us! A lot of friends of ours say that you need to narrow down a “naming style” and go from there (they also said the style usually comes from your every day life style). But our “life style” is pretty confusing.

We want a name that does somewhat reflect us; fun, hip/stylish but we also want the name to have a somewhat classy-ish feel so it will age well and sound nice on an adult. If that makes any sense at all? We do know that we don’t like alliteration or names ending in -er since they sound bad with [name_u]Carter[/name_u] (our last name). We also know that if we have a boy, his middle name would be [name_u]James[/name_u] (family name on both sides).

Thank you!

Here are my suggestions by style…

Wow! This is a great thread!

I have nothing really to add name-wise, but I wanted to cast some votes for [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I think those are stylish yet classic, have great nn potential ([name_m]Deon[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u]) if desired, and go beautifully with your chosen middle name.
