Alaric

I love the name [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], sound, look, meaning and it is [name_m]German[/name_m] (my heritage) but I am having trouble with a name combo…
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] - [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] is for a boy I knew when I was younger who left the world too soon and it has a pop culture tie that I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] (Stardust)
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] - [name_m]Evander[/name_m] I love the meaning ([name_m]Bow[/name_m] Warrior) I love archery and in games I graviate to bards/archer type classes and weapons.

The leftover name will be used as a FN for [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Kier[/name_m]

Also, what do you think of [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]? Any NNs you can suggest? I was thinking about “[name_m]Lars[/name_m]” but unsure.

It’s a nice, handsome name. Seems kinda futuristic to me and more like a character in a book than a real kid, but those are my favorite kinds of names :).

I think [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] is the best combo. It’s flows so well and seems to have a deeper meaning to you.

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] is my favourite - [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] fits well with the feel of [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I like [name_m]Lars[/name_m] as a nn. [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_m]Aric[/name_m], [name_m]Art[/name_m]/[name_m]Artie[/name_m] (if you combine it with [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]), Alcy

Another vote for [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m]! Wonderful combo.
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] is really handsome. It’s masculine and gives me a bit of an adventurous vibes. I love the nickname [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but [name_m]Lars[/name_m] works too!

I dislike [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] due to a bad association, but it has such a handsome, debonair vibe, I wish I could love it! [name_m]Lars[/name_m] is one of my favorite names.

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] gets my vote!

Thank you for your replies!

I like [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]. I say uh-LUHR-ik as I prefer it that way myself – [name_m]AL[/name_m]-uh-rik isn’t so bad, though I do find it harsher and more abrupt. [name_m]How[/name_m] are you pronouncing it?

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Leif[/name_m] (and [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Kier[/name_m]) gets my vote. I think it both looks and sounds nicer. I don’t mind [name_m]Lars[/name_m] as a nickname.
