Looking desperately for a boy’s name that could answer all three criteria:
Classy/[name_m]Noble[/name_m] for us would be: [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] …
Strong/Masculine would be: [name_m]Michael[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_m]Rick[/name_m], [name_m]Gordon[/name_m]
Fun/Spunk would be: [name_m]Moritz[/name_m], [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_m]Issac[/name_m], [name_u]Zion[/name_u] …
My name is [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and my wife’s is [name_f]Danielle[/name_f]. We were thinking [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] could work but we are not sure it’s the one!
I totally empathise with your search… It’s hard finding that perfect name that ticks all the boxes. A couple of names that spring to mind are:
[name_m]Benson[/name_m] / [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] (Although this would only work if you wish to honour your own name)
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] (could also use [name_m]William[/name_m] as full name)
Henrick
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] / [name_m]Fredrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Tom[/name_m]/[name_m]Tommy[/name_m])
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] (nn Hux)
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
I think the fun/spunky gets pulled in with a nickname. There’s not much classic/noble/strong that’s also spunky
[name_m]William[/name_m] nn [name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] nn Welly
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]/[name_m]Chaz[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] nn [name_m]Topher[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_u]Andy[/name_u]/Xane
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m]
If you want something slightly less “classic”
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Weston[/name_m] nn [name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] nn [name_m]Abe[/name_m]/[name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Artie[/name_m]
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fin[/name_m]
I echo the recommendations for:
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] or Henrick
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cai[/name_u]
Other suggestions:
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fritz[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
I like a bunch in your list : [name_m]Maxim[/name_m], [name_m]Russell[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] :), [name_m]Augustin[/name_m], [name_m]Calix[/name_m]! …
Does [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] sound a bit girly for the US though? I’m native [name_m]French[/name_m] and I’m used to this sound but I don’t know if it sounds really masculine?
Some good ones in your list and thank you for your empathy I thought of [name_m]Liam[/name_m] as well but isn’t it getting too popular suddenly? A bit concerned it’s just a fashion. My wife really likes [name_m]William[/name_m] though but it is missing the fun part for me.
