Hear me out- [name_u]Arbor[/name_u] for a boy.

[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and has already totally vetoed it, but itā€™s a word/nature name that I am actually diggingā€¦ pun intended. :smirk:

Iā€™m personally not big on most of the [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], [name_u]Sky[/name_u] types of names, but [name_u]Arbor[/name_u] just feels different. [name_f]My[/name_f] husbandā€™s family is all really big into gardening and plants, his grandparents used to own a nursery. I thought it would have had a cute sentiment, plus it sounds sort of similar to [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], which has been on our list but is iffy due to popularity.

Now I just feel like I need to see other peopleā€™s opinions on whether or not itā€™s a completely out there name. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband said he would call the child ā€œtreeā€ if that was his name. [name_f]My[/name_f] parents said ā€œthatā€™s an occupation, not a name,ā€ but my brotherā€™s name is Masonā€¦ so. :face_with_monocle:They donā€™t have much room talking there.

I think itā€™s a fine name, honestly. No different than [name_u]Haven[/name_u] or [name_u]Cove[/name_u].

I donā€™t really care for the way it feels to say it. Itā€™s hard to say fast and gets smashed into something other than itā€™s original cacophany of Rs. Is there another R name you might like?

It does feel different, more grounded, pun intended

Iā€™m not a big fan but itā€™s not different from any other name Iā€™m just meh about, itā€™s fine, just not my favorite.

Arbor is charming, woodsy, and rugged! I like how it shares sounds with Arthur and Archer, with a bit more flair. I can see it as a name :slight_smile:

That made me laugh :grin:

Personally Iā€™m not a huge fan sound wise but I can definitely work well as a name!

I think it would be great as a middle name and maybe husband would be okay with that?

I like it! I have an [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] and donā€™t feel like itā€™s too popular (we know only one other, 8 years older and across the country) but [name_u]Arbor[/name_u] is a fun, naturey alternative. Technically an arborist is the occupation, so I think youā€™re safe on that count anyway. :smirk:

I love [name_u]Arbor[/name_u]! It has gorgeous imagery, and the streamlined sound feels like it could suit any kind of person.
