[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (not sure about this, feels too commons next to the rest in this list, but fits in with the ones already on my list)

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Theo[/name_u]

[name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]

It’s a long list, so I’ll just pick the few names I have the strongest thoughts on:
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]- I love this! Usually I find [name_u]James[/name_u] rather blah in the middle, but I think it works really well here.
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_u]Navy[/name_u]- I love [name_u]Navy[/name_u] in the middle, especially with such a classic first!
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]- I find this a bit hard to say. Two one-syllable names that are very consonant heavy next to one another seems a bit tongue twister-y to me.
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Boden[/name_m]- I get a real cowboy vibe from this.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (not sure about this, feels too commons next to the rest in this list, but fits in with the ones already on my list)- I’d just switch out the middle name. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is in the top 20 and I would guess [name_u]James[/name_u] is probably in the top 5 for middle names for boys, but if you switch out [name_u]James[/name_u] for something less expected it would fit in with the rest of the list stylistically.
[name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]- I really love [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]! Although I do think any [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] is pretty much destined to become [name_m]Will[/name_m] by the time he’s in kindergarten. If you’re okay with that, though, it’s a great name.

I think we have the same taste in boys names, love your list of [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] - all on my long list! [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] does seem to fit, but I don’t like it. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is the number 1 boys name in the UK and I just hear it everywhere.

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

These are all my favourites from your list.

In terms of your list, I think this would be perfect…
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] (maybe just [name_u]Theo[/name_u] rather than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], as the other names are short)

Thankyou both for your replies! They’re really helpful - it’s nice to get a perspective on how our favourite names are perceived!

I probably should’ve mentioned that I live in [name_f]England[/name_f], therefore [name_m]Graham[/name_m] would be pronounced gray-um with two syllables so the one-one syllable of [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] doesn’t bother me! Thankyou so much for you input - I agree with you on [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] (and I don’t like [name_m]Will[/name_m]) but I would be push for him to be called [name_m]Willis[/name_m] if it was to be shortened!
