Can’t decide … sorry I keep posting ! Brother to [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f]:
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] Caldera
[name_u]Calder[/name_u] [name_m]Boone[/name_m]. (Dad wants to call him [name_m]Boone[/name_m] but likes [name_u]Calder[/name_u] as a first name )
[name_m]Leif[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m]
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] is for of course adventurous [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m] but also [name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] with happy memories of cutting down [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] trees.
[name_u]Calder[/name_u] is for a caldera we live next to Kilauea Caldera which has really shaped our lives from giving us a glow from the lava lake for years and then a wild eruption.
And then there is leif which is an homage to our other little saplings and also refers to the Viking explorer and all our kids look a little Viking-ish with blonde wild curly hair and my son is particularly adventurous and overly brave !
My favourite is [name_u]Calder[/name_u] [name_m]Boone[/name_m] but if he is going to be known as [name_m]Boone[/name_m] I think it is better to put [name_m]Boone[/name_m] in the first spot. [name_m]Boone[/name_m] Caldern, or [name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_u]Calder[/name_u].
I like [name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_u]Calder[/name_u] best
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_u]Calder[/name_u] would be amazing. [name_u]Calder[/name_u] as a first name seems a little close to [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] to me
If you’re going to call him [name_m]Boone[/name_m], go for [name_m]Boone[/name_m]! It’s a really cool name.
[name_m]Leif[/name_m] is handsome but I think [name_m]Boone[/name_m] is a better much with [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f] stylistically. [name_m]Leif[/name_m] feels very strongly European instead of cool and hipster-ish like [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f].
A vote for [name_m]Boone[/name_m] Caldera!
Much as I like [name_u]Calder[/name_u], I find it very close to [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] and agree with @whitegardenia about using the “known as” name as the first name for ease.
Caldera is a more direct homage to where you live – very distinctive, and very cool!
[name_m]Leif[/name_m] is a wonderful name but sounds a bit abrupt paired with [name_m]Boone[/name_m], and is quite different in style from your other names.
Congratulations!
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] Caldera, definitely! Very handsome, great flow, and I love the sound of [name_u]Cedar[/name_u], [name_f]Maple[/name_f] and [name_m]Boone[/name_m] as a sibset!
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] Caldera is a really cool name! It gets my vote
