Boys' names I've discovered this week!

I’ve come across a few boys’ names on social media this week that I’d never really heard of before and I thought I’d share them here and see what everyone thinks. Have you come across any of these before? Are there any you particularly like or dislike? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

[name_m]Escher[/name_m]
[name_m]Marston[/name_m]
[name_m]Cadell[/name_m]
Parinder
[name_m]Prentiss[/name_m]
Pryer
[name_f]Berkley[/name_f]

Interesting options!

[name_m]Escher[/name_m] is so cool – like the artist!

I’ve seen [name_f]Berkley[/name_f] before – mostly on girls – but it’s interesting being from the UK where berk is used as an insult :grin:

[name_m]Prentiss[/name_m], [name_m]Cadell[/name_m], and [name_m]Marston[/name_m] are intriguing – I like [name_m]Prentiss[/name_m].

[name_m]Cadell[/name_m] is my favorite, it’s soft to me

[name_m]Cadell[/name_m] seems particularly sweet to me, which is probably helped by the fact that I have a lot of Cade-adjacent names on my list already. I think [name_m]Marston[/name_m] is nice as well. I’m honestly not that fond of the others

I like Parinder the most. I tend to like names ending with -nder like [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], Ivander. It reminds me of the name [name_m]Parvinder[/name_m] the most.

[name_m]Cadell[/name_m] is my second favorite.

[name_m]Marston[/name_m] is interesting. It reminds me of [name_f]Marsden[/name_f]. It’d be a cool way to get the nickname [name_m]Mars[/name_m].

[name_m]Prentiss[/name_m] and Pryer sound ok if don’t think of similar sounding words but [name_m]Prentiss[/name_m] sounds like trying to say apprentice or pretentious and Pryer sounds like someone who pries information. Ok I just looked up [name_m]Prentiss[/name_m] and apparently it means apprentice lol

For [name_f]Berkley[/name_f], I just think of the university. Might come off a little pretentious but I guess it can work for others who like it.

Eschar just isn’t my style

Interesting names! [name_f]Berkley[/name_f] reminds me of my beloved [name_f]Barclay[/name_f] - there was a trilogy I read a while back that had a [name_f]Barclay[/name_f] in it and I thought (and still do!) that it was so cool. [name_m]Prentiss[/name_m] reminds me of Criminal Minds hahaha. [name_m]Marston[/name_m] & [name_m]Cadell[/name_m] I’m not familiar with, but like quite a lot!
