Boy names to match my girls'?

Boy Names
1

Currently on my girl’s list I have,

[name]Helena[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Gloria[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name] (no middle)

I’m looking for boy names to match my style; offbeat vintage? Uncommon classic? Call it what you want, I suppose. The only boy’s name I really like, and have liked perpetually, is Dashiel, and it feels a tad too modern for my girl’s names. I’m also toying with [name]Hector[/name] right now.

While off-balance sibsets don’t bother me, I would like to see if there are boy names to match my girls’. My goal is to have three of each.

All suggestions are appreciated. :slight_smile:

First of all, your girls names are beautiful. I really like [name]Dashiell[/name], and would support this if you’re a [name]Hammett[/name] fan. [name]Cate[/name] Blanchett has a [name]Dashiell[/name], and her other sons are [name]Ignatius[/name] and [name]Roman[/name]. They’re quite different. [name]Hector[/name] is a big love of mine, so I’m very supportive of this one. Have you seen the movie [name]Troy[/name]? [name]Eric[/name] Bana is so gorgeous in that one, and really embodies everything [name]Hector[/name] is (at least in my eyes).

Names I think would fit in nicely with [name]Helena[/name], [name]Gloria[/name] and [name]Theodora[/name]:
[name]Albert[/name]
[name]Alfred[/name]
[name]Alistair[/name]
[name]Anthony[/name]/[name]Anton[/name]
[name]Basil[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name]
[name]Bernard[/name]
[name]Bertram[/name]
[name]Cecil[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Clarence[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Cornelius[/name]

My first thought was [name]Ernest[/name]–which I see someone else suggested.

I don’t think Dashiel is too modern. It fits okay.

What about [name]Harold[/name]?

7

I really like the name [name]Russel[/name] with your girl choices. [name]Happy[/name] hunting!

sorry if repeats

[name]Alfred[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Gilbert[/name]
[name]Cedric[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Sinclair[/name]
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Regis[/name]
[name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Alvin[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name]

[name]Malcolm[/name]
[name]Murray[/name]
[name]Perry[/name]

I agree, [name]Ernest[/name] is definitely going on the list.

But only okay. :frowning:

See with [name]Harold[/name] all I can think is the [name]Red[/name] [name]Green[/name] show. If you haven’t seen it, YouTube. So much awesome.

I like [name]Russell[/name], but I know a few and [name]Russell[/name] [name]Crow[/name]. Who is awesome, but…

And for mclola’s list:

[name]Gerard[/name] – I’m very seriously considering this one, actually. But since my favorite band is My Chemical Romance, and this is the frontman/lead singer’s name, would it be too fangirly? I would legitimately be using it for that reason, so I’m iffy…
[name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Sinclair[/name]
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name]
[name]Winston[/name]
[name]Palmer[/name]
[name]Judson[/name]
[name]Ruben[/name]

So names I’m very definitely considering at this point:

[name]Hector[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name]
[name]Eugene[/name] (family name, as an added bonus)
[name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name]
Geoffery
[name]Gerard[/name]
[name]Gerald[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Ruben[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name]

Any more names? With a few more I could start a combos thread. :slight_smile: :wink:
