Boy Names are Hard

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries. I am wanting to expand my name list. Here’s the thing: girls names are extremely easy for me. I find girls names so much more fun to explore than boys names. For girls names, I am drawn to vintage classic names like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]/Adeline, and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], as well as more modern classic names like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. Yet, with boys names, I have a completely different style. Most vintage classic names for boys make me picture an old man. I can’t get into them, no matter how hard I try!

I honestly don’t even think I have a set style of names for guys, but I tend to gravitate towards shorter, sometimes one-syllable names. I am also extremely picky with boys names.

Some boys names I really like:

[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Will[/name_m]

[name_u]New[/name_u] names would be greatly appreciated! [name_f]My[/name_f] boy’s name list needs a lot of love!

edit: Jack is my boyfriend’s name, so I cannot use that, which is unfortunate, because, before I met him, it was my all-time favorite boys name :sweat_smile:

You sound exactly like myself! Boys names were a STRUGGLE for us. The few names I did like, DH didn’t and vice-versa. BUT I will do my best to share some ideas with you! Your girl names are beautful!

[name_u]Miles[/name_u]-this one made our top 5 for our boy
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]-same as above
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]-timeless yet underused favorite of mine!
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]-although it is longer than other names you seem to enjoy, its a beautiful name and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is a wonderful NN (or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]).
Arlo-wonderful suggestion from another poster-seems to suit your style well!
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]/Archer
[name_u]Louie[/name_u]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
And I must add [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]-since we have similar style. after all the names thats what we choose for our little boy. Let me know if you like any of these suggestions!
