[name_f]My[/name_f] boy list is currently bursting at the seams, so I am once again asking the Berries to pick up your gavels and help me sort everything out.
[name_f][/name_f]
To preface, I want to be clear that these names are NOT for real kiddos as I simply enjoy names as a hobby, so real-life usability is not a factor.
[name_m]Jesse[/name_m] [name_f]Honor[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Oak[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Credence[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (Charles is an important family name) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Conan[/name_m] [name_m]Elias[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hollis[/name_m] [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Micah[/name_m] [name_m]Revere[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Abram[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Larkin[/name_f] [name_m]William[/name_m] (William is a family name)
[name_f][/name_f]
So, Berries, itās time to make your case! Which of my āOn Trialā names do you believe should have a spot on my list and why? [name_f]My[/name_f] goal is to add combos that wonāt[name_f][/name_f] be kicked off in a week or so, so if you want to mix and match to make something with staying power, thatās absolutely welcome.
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Oak[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorite! He covers all of the bases for me (nature component, biblical significance, beautiful meaning sunny oak). I would easily name a another son this if it wasnāt so similar to S o l o m o n ā s[name_f][/name_f] name
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Jesse[/name_m] [name_f]Honor[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- This one feels very cowboy to me. He fits in well with your existing group (i.e. [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Worthy[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Psalm[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Jethro[/name_m], [name_m]Whit[/name_m] [name_m]Canaan[/name_m], etc.). + I love [name_m]Jesse[/name_m] on a boy!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- This is such a sweet, classically handsome name. I also like the association with [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Emerson[/name_m], the writer.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I love him for all of the same reasons that I love [name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Oak[/name_m]!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- This is my one mix & match [name_f][/name_f] I liked the short & simple [name_m]Kit[/name_m], but wanted to add a little zip with [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m]
So many stunning combos on your list! It was near impossible to narrow it down, but I finally decided on a top four (plus three honorable mentions!):
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Credence[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] ā absolutely loving this combo for you! Not only does [name_m]Bram[/name_m] bring in literary and nature connections, but [name_m]Credence[/name_m] adds in that subtle profundity and insight that just emanates from all of your names. He is strong but soft, a perfect balance! Also loving the meaning ā ābelief in the father of multitudesā
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Ransom[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] ā again, a stunning, balanced combo! Normally I donāt love combos where the ending & beginning of the two names are the same (-er R-), but for some reason it doesnāt bother me here. [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] is a name with such a strong presence and meaning, but a softer sound, and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] really brings in a more playful, nature-y element.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Micah[/name_m] [name_m]Revere[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] ā beautiful! [name_m]Revere[/name_m] feels very strong and virtuous, and paired with the soft [name_m]Micah[/name_m] he somehow becomes so cozy but powerful. The meaning is gorgeous as well ā āhe who is admired like Godā
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] ā the traditional [name_m]Abram[/name_m] with the adventurous [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] is absolutely stunning! I just love the way this combo rolls off my tongue; the soft letters almost bring you on a transformative journey, from the soft introvertedness of the cozy, bookish [name_m]Abram[/name_m] to the courageous loyalty of [name_m]Phineas[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
Honorable mentions:[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] & [name_f]Larkin[/name_f] [name_m]William[/name_m] are lovely, and I love how they honor family! I might tweak them a bit to add that deep intensity that usually comes with your combosā¦ maybe [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Wilkes[/name_m], or [name_f]Larkin[/name_f] [name_m]Willoughby[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f]Also wanted to mention [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] ā absolutely love how cozy and academic he feels!
I know theyāre not on trial, but I love[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Psalm[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]True[/name_m], and [name_m]Whit[/name_m] [name_m]Canaan[/name_m], girl! [name_f][/name_f] So handsome.
[name_f][/name_f]
Of the ones on trial, I LOVE these as is and would add them in a heartbeat:
[name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Credence[/name_m] (LOVE [name_m]Bram[/name_m] to death but [name_m]Credence[/name_m] I donāt love hereā¦ [name_f][/name_f] Maybe [name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m], [name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m], [name_m]Bram[/name_m] Charlie?) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] (LOVE [name_m]Auden[/name_m] and really like the flow of [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] but most of the Tims/Timothys Iāve known havenāt been great associations (although I do like the Biblical one!) [name_f][/name_f]- maybe [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] or [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] I always used to love [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_m]Forster[/name_m], idk if heās you but if you love him you can have him. [name_f][/name_f] ) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (LOVE [name_m]Charles[/name_m] for you and ADORE [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] but it feels weirdly boxy to me in its visual representation in my head? [name_f][/name_f] Like the idea of [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Creed[/name_m] or maybe [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Birch[/name_m], [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Cedar[/name_m], [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_m]Ransom[/name_m], [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] Revere?) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] (am having a MAJOR moment with [name_m]Adler[/name_m] right now but something about [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] next to him I keep misreading. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Adler[/name_m] Credence?) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Micah[/name_m] [name_m]Revere[/name_m] (Like [name_m]Micah[/name_m] and LOVE [name_m]Revere[/name_m] but I donāt love them together, Iāve always liked [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_m]Revere[/name_m], so heās close enough, or maybe [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_m]Revere[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Abram[/name_m] Revere?)
Samson Oak ā solid but sunny, gentle but strong: it gives me a similar vibe to Shepherd Pax, Asa Wise, Jonah Valor or Gideon Shiloh which lends it longevity. It feels literary and gently spiritual too.
Bram Credence ā grand without pretentiousness, cool but not overly contemporary, strong but gentle - itās pleasing in sound and gives me a similar feel to Abel Justice, Jude Bravery, Sage Thomas, and Eli Jethro
Jesse Honor ā charming and friendly with a hint of power, it feels approachable and substantial
Adler Ransom ā I went back and forth between including this or Auden, but ultimately settled on this one. Itās effortlessly cool with a literary air, an outdoorsy, playful feel, with a touch of wisdom about it
Kit Benjamin ā playful but handsome, bookish and bright. There is a tiny bit of me that wants it to be something more like Kit Zebedee, Kit Zephaniah, or Kit Phineas however - but just a little. Kit Benjamin and Sage Thomas as sibs though?
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Oak[/name_m] ~ absolutely love [name_m]Samson[/name_m] heās fun, unexpected classic, has a soft sound which I really like, the gorgeous meaning āsunā and nickname options of [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] & [name_m]Sam[/name_m] which are adorable. [name_m]Oak[/name_m] makes a gorgeous middle name sweet, outdoorsy and ever so charming. [name_f]Love[/name_f] this combination.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] ~ I love softer boy names and I think using [name_f]Wren[/name_f] for a boy is adorable. [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is a lovely nature name that feels calming, outdoorsy and soft. I love the unexpected feel of [name_f]Wren[/name_f] for a boy as well. [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] as a middle name is gorgeous adds strength, a handsome flair and I love the meaning of [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] being ālaughter, joyā itās very sweet. [name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is gorgeous really appeals.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] ~ I think [name_m]Kit[/name_m] is adorable a sweet little name that has subtle nature connotations whilst feeling very classic due to association with [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Kit[/name_m] sounds lovely very cosy with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].
I think these are names that Iād see and think, āThis is a Seawillow name.ā I might be playing into personal biases here, but I absolutely love Wren on a boy. Charles is sort of under-appreciated but I like it very much. Any honour name is always a plus for me!
[name_f][/name_f] I liked the short & simple [name_m]Kit[/name_m], but wanted to add a little zip with [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m]
