Can you help with my boy name list?

General Name Discussion

Well, it seems I’m in a thread-making frenzy as of late, and the fun hasn’t stopped!

I’m pretty satisfied with my girl top four at this point - [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] (or [name]Anna[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]), and [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] (or [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]) - but my boy names are a little more up in the air.

So far, I love [name]Henry[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]James[/name]. I also really like [name]Julian[/name] [name]Patrick[/name], but I’m not 100% yet! I want all four names to sound nice together - like the girls’ names do, in my opinion - so can you help me?

PS I also like [name]Peter[/name]…

[name]Lemon[/name], you know I love all your girl choices, and I will try to help with the boy’s names! I have a harder time with boy’s names, as I tend to prefer classic girl’s names, but Irish/Scottish boy’s names. (weird, I know!)
I starred my favorites.

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Peter[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name]*
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]*
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Luke[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]*

kyemsma, nice to hear from you!

Thanks for the compliment on the girls’ names. I love ‘em, too! I guess I’m in a similar boat as you in that many of the classic boy names I “should” love, I just don’t! I’m attracted to more modern or, in some cases, popular boy names, like [name]Chase[/name], [name]Landon[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Holden[/name], and [name]Hudson[/name], but I don’t like the way they work with my girl favorites. I’m one of those who would like my future kids’ names - boy and girl - to work well as a set, not just individually…

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Peter[/name] - Well, I love this, because I love [name]Peter[/name], and I love that each name has an individual sound (beginning and end) and feel. [name]Do[/name] you like this, too?

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name]* - A name I “should” like, but I absolutely do not. [name]Elliot[/name], for me, is too tied to an image of a bookish, nerdy boy, as that describes every [name]Elliot[/name] I’ve ever met. I shouldn’t stereotype, but I can’t help it!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]* - [name]Simon[/name] is cute! I really do like that, but my issue is that [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] have a similar sound in that they both end in N. Problem, or am I over-thinking it?

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] - [name]Lucas[/name] is a long-time favorite, but I worry it isn’t as classic as the others. Also, [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] have matching U sounds - is that weird? In any case, I love [name]Lucas[/name] and its [name]Luke[/name] nickname…

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name] - I knew an awful [name]Daniel[/name] once, so this is out. The name is so tied to him in my mind that I don’t ever think I could forget it!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] - I love [name]Henry[/name], [name]Peter[/name], and [name]Matthew[/name] together! But, is [name]Nathaniel[/name] out of place in this set? [name]Matt[/name] is such a great name - it fits everyone and reminds me of a confident, smart, friendly boy!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Luke[/name] - Prefer [name]Lucas[/name]!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]* - [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] have similar sounds, and I’m not thinking I’m in love with [name]Samuel[/name]. Its the -uel sound that gets me - not sure why!

Again, thanks so much for your amazing suggestions! If you have any more, feel free to throw them at me! In the mean time, if you have middle name ideas for [name]Peter[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], or [name]Matthew[/name] (or even [name]Simon[/name]), I’d love to hear them! Preferably three-syllable names, I think…

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Peter[/name] - Well, I love this, because I love [name]Peter[/name], and I love that each name has an individual sound (beginning and end) and feel. [name]Do[/name] you like this, too?

    • I agree!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name]* - A name I “should” like, but I absolutely do not. [name]Elliot[/name], for me, is too tied to an image of a bookish, nerdy boy, as that describes every [name]Elliot[/name] I’ve ever met. I shouldn’t stereotype, but I can’t help it!

    • Oh, I just love the name [name]Elliot[/name]! Too bad it has such negative connotations for you.

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]* - [name]Simon[/name] is cute! I really do like that, but my issue is that [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] have a similar sound in that they both end in N. Problem, or am I over-thinking it?

    • I see what you mean about the 2 “n” endings, but I still love [name]Simon[/name] with the other names!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] - [name]Lucas[/name] is a long-time favorite, but I worry it isn’t as classic as the others. Also, [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] have matching U sounds - is that weird? In any case, I love [name]Lucas[/name] and its [name]Luke[/name] nickname…

    • I think [name]Lucas[/name] is becoming a classic boy’s name…

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name] - I knew an awful [name]Daniel[/name] once, so this is out. The name is so tied to him in my mind that I don’t ever think I could forget it!

    • Okay, I am with you here…no [name]Daniel[/name] (maybe for a mn?)

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] - I love [name]Henry[/name], [name]Peter[/name], and [name]Matthew[/name] together! But, is [name]Nathaniel[/name] out of place in this set? [name]Matt[/name] is such a great name - it fits everyone and reminds me of a confident, smart, friendly boy!

    • I love [name]Matthew[/name], and I really think [name]Nathaniel[/name] fits in with these names!

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Luke[/name] - Prefer [name]Lucas[/name]!

    • okay, I agree.

[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]* - [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] have similar sounds, and I’m not thinking I’m in love with [name]Samuel[/name]. Its the -uel sound that gets me - not sure why!

    • okay, maybe [name]Samuel[/name] could be a mn.

Again, thanks so much for your amazing suggestions! If you have any more, feel free to throw them at me! In the mean time, if you have middle name ideas for [name]Peter[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], or [name]Matthew[/name] (or even [name]Simon[/name]), I’d love to hear them! Preferably three-syllable names, I think…

    • I’m still working on the middle names!

I’m afraid most of the boy’s names I was going to suggest have already been suggested.
I especially like:
[name]Edward[/name] (really reminds me of [name]Henry[/name] and I love it too)
[name]Sebastian[/name] (longer like [name]Nathaniel[/name] and nice Shakespearean connection)
[name]Theodore[/name] (perfect with [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Nathaniel[/name])
[name]Jasper[/name] ( a little more quirky but still vintage)
[name]Benjamin[/name] (Biblical and traditional)
[name]Lucas[/name] (my son’s name- it is classic but hasn’t been widely used until recently so feels less so)

[name]Just[/name] a couple of others:
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name] as a fn (love [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] too)
[name]Gregory[/name] (really like this- the name of several popes)
[name]William[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] (can’t remember if suggested already)
[name]George[/name] (might be too short for you but I really like this name)
[name]Joseph[/name]

[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jasper[/name] *
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Edward[/name] and [name]Gregory[/name] *
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Henry[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Lucas[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] *

Wow! These are great! I like:

Thanks! Your favorites with my other names?

[name]Lemon[/name] :slight_smile:

12

I like [name]Roman[/name] and [name]David[/name]! Cool, strong names…

Thanks!

13

[name]Hi[/name], Twinkle!

I like [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Edmond[/name], and [name]Charles[/name]! Thanks!

14

[name]Hi[/name]!

Thanks for the great suggestions! Maybe [name]Oliver[/name] would be a good first name, but I have it as a middle. Hmm…

I like [name]Benjamin[/name] ([name]Peter[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]), but can’t use it as a first because it is my brother’s name. What about [name]Frederick[/name]? Is that a good match?

[name]Lemon[/name]

15

[name]Hi[/name]!

I do like [name]Edward[/name] - or [name]Edmond[/name] - [name]Theodore[/name], and [name]Lucas[/name]! [name]Patrick[/name], [name]William[/name], and [name]Charles[/name] are great, too. Never thought of [name]Patrick[/name] as a first name - smart!

Like [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name] - family names - as middles. Any combos there?

Thanks!

[name]Hi[/name]!

I was searching through an old copy of one of [name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name]'s books ([name]Madison[/name] and [name]Montana[/name] edition), and I found these names…

FIRST
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]

MIDDLE
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Russell[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]

[name]Benjamin[/name] is off-limits as it is my older brother’s name - that is just too close for me. [name]James[/name] is a huge family name for me, so I’d love to use it. Another good family name is [name]Joseph[/name]. Others include [name]Howard[/name], [name]William[/name], and [name]John[/name]. Additionally, my father’s middle name is [name]Boyd[/name], and both my paternal grandfather and twin sister have [name]Price[/name] as their middle names - those are definitely viable options!

I won’t be on for a few days, but I’d appreciate comments and combinations from your favorites here…
