Boy Names
1

I really have been struggling with boy names, maybe its because I’m convinced this baby is a girl. However, we aren’t finding out so I need a boys list too. What boys names would you recommend based on my list of names for girls? My rules for naming are the name has to be in use for at least 100 years, should be clearly feminine or masculine, and must be the most common spelling.

Girls List:

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]

your list is so sweet! [name_f]audrey[/name_f] was my grandmother’s name and [name_f]rosemary[/name_f] a great-aunt, so i have a soft spot for those two :3

@erin gave some great suggestions, but i’ll add:

[name_m]charles[/name_m]
[name_m]james[/name_m]
[name_m]arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]miles[/name_m] (i know it can sound modern, but [name_m]miles[/name_m] standish was a puritan leader)
[name_m]william[/name_m]
[name_m]jacob[/name_m]
[name_m]isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]adam[/name_m]
[name_m]joshua[/name_m]
[name_m]jonah[/name_m]/[name_m]jonas[/name_m]

i really like [name_m]oliver[/name_m], [name_m]benjamin[/name_m], and [name_m]theodore[/name_m] for you from @erin’s list above. it seems like biblical and royal names could be good options for you, especially in keeping with your girls’ list!
