Help me find a boy name I haven’t seen yet! The only requirements are:
It must be an actual name - none of that creative spelling type stuff
It can’t be in the top 100 (this is DH’s rule)
It can’t rhyme with Leisl or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - probably no “o” endings
I prefer vintage names. DH prefers very unique names.
So far we have tossed around:
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]
[name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_u]Claude[/name_u]
[name_m]Eamon[/name_m]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_m]Yves[/name_m]
But none seem quite right (though I really love [name_m]Cedric[/name_m]; DH is not sold on it).
I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but our last name sounds like Door - ay. I don’t know if we can get away with the rhyme. Plus, it may be in the top 100 or close? Not sure. We also love [name_m]Cecil[/name_m] but it rhymes with [name_f]Liesl[/name_f].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] to get more of a feel for our tastes, our girl names in order of preference are:
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
I love your daughters’ names! From your list, [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] stand out to me. I think I especially like [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u].
When I read the title of your thread, the first name to pop into my mind was [name_m]Conrad[/name_m].
I like [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] best from your list and submit [name_m]Simon[/name_m] for consideration. I love [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]!
I like [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] from your list. When I saw your girls’ names I also thought [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (English version of [name_m]Eamon[/name_m]) & [name_m]Graham[/name_m]/ [name_m]Graeme[/name_m]. Also like the suggestion of [name_m]Simon[/name_m].
Good luck!
I love [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] and [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] from your list. [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] are gorgeous names! I’m kind of leaning toward something [name_m]German[/name_m] (to go with [name_f]Liesl[/name_f]) or something [name_m]French[/name_m] (to go with [name_f]Margot[/name_f]). Some ideas:
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], it’s softer and sounds unique and more elegant in comparison to [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]?
I also love the names [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_m]Odysseus[/name_m], [name_m]Achilles[/name_m], [name_m]Sven[/name_m] (to match your girls’ [name_m]German[/name_m] vibe), [name_u]Maurice[/name_u], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_u]Cairo[/name_u], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_m]Cicero[/name_m] (I know you said no “o” endings, but I love this name!), [name_m]Zeno[/name_m] and [name_m]Yuri[/name_m].
I love @larkspur’s suggestions of [name_m]Franz[/name_m], [name_m]Fritz[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m], [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], [name_m]Pascal[/name_m] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]! They’re all gorgeous!
I like [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] from your list and the suggestions of [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]/[name_m]Fritz[/name_m] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. I was going to suggest [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u], but I saw someone just suggested that too!
I love your taste in names! [name_m]Casper[/name_m] is my favorite from your list, with [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] and [name_m]Yves[/name_m] following close behind.
Some ideas:
[name_m]Roland[/name_m]
[name_m]Anton[/name_m]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Pepin[/name_m]
[name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_m]Amaury[/name_m]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m]
I also like the suggestions of [name_m]Silvan[/name_m], [name_m]Anselm[/name_m], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
