Boring Boys

Boy Names
1

I feel like boys names are overall more boring than girls names… Unless it’s just what I have on my list. I want to spice up my boys list more but not really sure where to find good ones. I’ve scrolled the forums and added a couple but figured I’d just ask!

[name_f]My[/name_f] girls names I like are romantic and eclectic, rare but not terribly hard for Americans to pronounce. Think [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]/[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and middles more spunky like [name_u]Vesper[/name_u], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_u]Larkin[/name_u], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f]…

But my boys list right now contains names that are too popular and boring compared to my girls. Think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (but too popular…), [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (though this one is a little more exciting I think)…

More exciting, handsome, rare and strong names I’ve added so far include
[name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] (strictly middle)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Theron[/name_m]

I need some more!! Please and thank you so much!

It’s strange but I find boys names much easier to come with. I feel with girls names there is so much variety and a large selection that it’s slightly overwhelming whereas with boys names I feel that you can find a wide selection of great names which just work!

I personally love your ‘boring’ choices of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] & [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. From your ‘exciting’ choices I like [name_m]Felix[/name_m] & [name_m]Stellan[/name_m].

Here are some suggestions:
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Valentino[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Reeves[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Beach[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Alejandro[/name_m]
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]
[name_m]Marino[/name_m]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]

I love those names you said were boring! Especially [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], they are two of my favourite boy names. I’m not a fan of your “exciting” names though.

It seems we have very different styles, but I’ll suggest some names that are more out there that you may like as well:

[name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
[name_u]Banjo[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Elisha[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Zebedee[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Job[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Absalom[/name_m]
[name_u]Azariah[/name_u]
[name_m]Esau[/name_m]
[name_m]Enoch[/name_m]
[name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicodemus[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]

Well, I find boys names easier because there are not that many that I love. My girls list is more extensive. I like that if I had a boy, I would have an easier time coming up with a name for him.
Sorry if I repeat any names already suggested. Here some boys names that I find interesting:
Bramwell, Bram
Westley, West
Dade
Ren
Egan
Eben
Tobin
Osric
Alaric
Leith
Nash
Vaughn
Augustin
Noble
Finnick
Larkin
Rickon
Remy
