Let me know what do you think about each name on my list and if you can mix and match them creating good combos I’d love that:
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Russell[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] → it’s grounded but also has grandeur, and it feels like a very versatile name with nickname options
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] → strong and solid with a distinctive sound. A little harsh for me, but I like it for others
[name_u]Henry[/name_u] → gentle but strong, literary, elegant but youthful.
[name_u]James[/name_u] → objectively, a solid, timeless classic. For me, it’s a bit bland
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] → international and classic with nickname options that make it feel versatile
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] → warm, rugged and lovely - sort of autumnal?
Combos I’d make from the list:
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (nn Russ)
[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (nn CJ, [name_u]Kit[/name_u], Kester)
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Nico[/name_u], Col, Nils)
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] (nn Jem)
Christopehr–to me this one is a little dated and overused but a lot of people like it!
Grant-- this decade’s middle-of-the-pack name I feel
Henry-- tried, true and still classy IMO
James-- a tad overdone as well, especially with the trend for girl Jameses as well.
Nicholas-- sturdy and good for young and old
Russell-- Also good for life, I think.
Combos:
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] nn [name_u]Nick[/name_u] or [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] nn [name_u]Chris[/name_u], [name_m]Topher[/name_m]
