Alrighty then, it's COMBO TIME!

Boy Names

So, since it seems that suggestions have been exhausted on boys names for me, It’s time to start putting them together. :slight_smile:

First name choices:

[name]Hector[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] (family name)
[name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] (Wary of this one; lead singer of my favorite band (MCR), and if I used this name it WOULD be for that reason. Too fangirly? Too negative? Opinions?!)

Middle name choices:

Dashiel
[name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name]
Geoffrey
[name]Gerald[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Reuben[/name]

And then of course the first names are also game for middle name slots.

If you have more names to suggest, please do so, in the form of combos or lists.

Hypothetical sisters:

[name]Helena[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Gloria[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name] (no middle)

Combine away!

I love your naming style. With hypothetical sisters I would pair:
[name]Hector[/name] [name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] (I don’t think your reasons to use [name]Gerard[/name] are strange; actually, [name]Nathaniel[/name] is a lead singer of MY favorite band and on my list too :))
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] Dashiel

[name]Hector[/name] [name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] [name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Walter[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] [name]Benedict[/name]

These were the “automatic” matches for me. [name]Gerard[/name] is my favorite name on your list. It’s incredibly dashing and very underused. [name]Gerard[/name] was actually quite popular in medieval times, so it’s got a far longer and richer history than people might think. I don’t think it’s too “fangirly” to name your son after your favorite singer. I’m sure there are a lot of parents out there who have done the same. The SSA charts are dotted with names like [name]Lennon[/name], [name]Hendrix[/name], [name]Presley[/name], and [name]Jagger[/name]. You aren’t alone. :slight_smile: Several of the names on my list are after or at least inspired by fictional characters. [name]Even[/name] if your love for [name]Gerard[/name] [name]Way[/name] fades over time, your son will still have a fantastic name.

Oooh, I love a lot of your choices! I don’t think [name]Gerard[/name] is unusable because of the band connection; if anything, that makes it cooler. When I hear the name, I immediately think of English footballer [name]Steven[/name] [name]Gerrard[/name], rather than MCR.

Some combos:
[name]Hector[/name] [name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Hector[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] [name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] [name]Lionel[/name]

[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Dashiell[/name] - [name]Dashiell[/name] is spelled with two l’s
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Geoffrey[/name] - the older form of [name]Geoffrey[/name] is spelled this way.
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Ruben[/name] - I prefer the Biblical spelling of [name]Reuben[/name]
[name]Hector[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name] [name]Cornelius[/name]

Thanks for all the compliments, and encouragement about [name]Gerard[/name]! It’s nice to know that only my family will be rolling their eyes. :wink: Especially southern.maple, you make a very good point that it’s an awesome name anyway. :slight_smile:

[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] Dashiel

southern.maple:

maggiefromcanada:

[name]Hector[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]

mischa:

[name]Gregory[/name] Dashiel
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Geoffrey[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Reuben[/name]
[name]Hector[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]

I prefer Dashiel with one L; I’ve always thought of it that way, and find the two Ls to be unnecessary and feminine. However, thank you for the corrections on [name]Reuben[/name] and [name]Geoffrey[/name]. I’ll go back and fix them in the original post.

erin91:

[name]Gregory[/name] Dashiel
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Geoffrey[/name]

boyandgirl:

[name]Gregory[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]

Any more combos/suggestions greatly appreciated!

So, I’ve tentatively decided on:

[name]Hector[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name] [name]Gerard[/name]

I’ll let them sit for a while. :slight_smile: Thanks for all your help!
