Biblical/surnamey/literary type names?

Boy Names
1

Lately I’ve been doubting some of the names on my short list, and I’m looking for more options. Names I’ve liked in the past just don’t seem to cut it anymore, so I’m opening up my search to any ideas you all might have. :slight_smile: I have a couple ideas I’m playing with from my old favorites, but as I’m not really wowed by any of them right now, I’d like to get other suggestions.

The names set on my list already are [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Grayson[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Brody[/name], and [name]Bailey[/name], if that gives any ideas. I was thinking it’d be nice to have another Biblical name, so [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Asher[/name] wouldn’t be all by their lonesome, but it’s not necessary. Biblical, literary, surnamey, historical, maybe even classical-music themed (took piano for years and love [name]Mozart[/name] as a composer) is all good. Any ideas?

Thanks, ladies!

Thanks, ladies. I’m not sure any of them really hit the spot, but I do hold a certain affection for [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Jonah[/name]/[name]Jonas[/name], [name]Holden[/name], [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Benedict[/name], [name]Lucian[/name], and [name]Declan[/name] (I know [name]Deacon[/name] was suggested, not [name]Declan[/name], but I like [name]Declan[/name] better).

I’m not really sure I can see me using any of them, though. I was thinking about [name]Samuel[/name] a lot today. I realized I really love him with my top girls’ names ([name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Violet[/name]), I think it fits perfectly, and I do love [name]Sam[/name]. But as a standalone name, I can’t say I’m HUGELY fond of [name]Samuel[/name] as a FN. [name]Love[/name] it for a MN, but not really a FN.

The other names I was considering for the last two spots were [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Judah[/name], [name]Zane[/name], and [name]Tobin[/name] (nn [name]Toby[/name]), but I’m not really sure I love any of them. [name]Zane[/name]'s probably my favorite…
