So, I’m looking for comments, ratings, combo suggestions, anything really to help mod my list as it is moving on from a fantasy list to a list of potential names for an actual child.
Similar list is to be expected on the girls side soon…
Out of the first names I like:
[name]Caspar[/name]
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Ivo[/name]
[name]Leander[/name]
[name]Leonidas[/name]
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Marius[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Seamus[/name]
[name]Valentin[/name]
[name]Wolf[/name]
out of the middles I like:
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Everest[/name]
[name]Fergus[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Kai[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name]
[name]William[/name]
^ Though not all my style, these are fine and I can see them working well on a boy of any age.
All the middles are fine, but I’d get rid of [name]Loyal[/name] and [name]Noble[/name]. You can instil loyalty as a value rather than bestow it as a name. And [name]Noble[/name] sounds ridiculous, sorry. [name]Noble[/name] gases? The nobility? It’d be a joke if he ended up anything but!
Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far! Honest opinions are what I want and then it’s up to me/us to decide whether we agree or not.
I really like the suggestion of [name]Cyprian[/name].
[name]River[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Wolf[/name] [name]Everest[/name] and [name]Evander[/name] [name]Charles[/name] were the ones I liked best of the suggested combos.
Some of the middlenames are there for family significance, others just other mn material.
We have very similar tastes in names! My favorites are:
[name]Aurelius[/name]
[name]Caspar[/name]
[name]Eben[/name]
[name]Ephraim[/name]- on my short list, so happy to see this name getting some attention
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Isidore[/name]
[name]Ivo[/name]- see [name]Ephraim[/name]
[name]Leander[/name]
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Lysander[/name]
[name]Marius[/name]
[name]Peregrine[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Sylvan[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Valentin[/name]
[name]Apollo[/name] - love [name]Apollo[/name]! It doesn’t get enough attention
Aristide - this is the name of a rather upscale event facility not too far from me so I don’t see it as a name
[name]Ash[/name] - nice, but somewhat feminine
[name]Aurelius[/name] - I can’t imagine this on an actual child, it’s way too over the top for my taste
[name]Caspar[/name] - very nice
[name]Eames[/name] - not a fan
[name]Eamon[/name] - not a fan
[name]Earnest[/name] - maybe as a mn due strictly to the literary reference

[name]Ebenezer[/name] - way too Scrooge
[name]Ephraim[/name] - too soft for my taste
[name]Evander[/name] - love this one
[name]Ezekiel[/name] - on trend and zeke is a cute nn
[name]Ezra[/name] - I never got the appeal of this, I find it much too feminine for my personal taste but most people wouldn’t have a problem with it
[name]Falcon[/name] - would make a fantastic middle!
[name]Felix[/name] - the cat
[name]Finch[/name] - love, it’s on my list due to the more subtle than [name]Atticus[/name] to kill a mockingbird reference
[name]Fox[/name] - so dashing!
[name]Gulliver[/name] - great reference but I have difficulty imagining it on a child
[name]Heron[/name] - beautiful birds, but would be constantly misheard as [name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Homer[/name] - too [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Huckleberry[/name] - love it! And [name]Huck[/name] is too die for
[name]Ignatius[/name] - just seems very nasally and whiney to me
[name]Indigo[/name] - cute but prefer it on a girl. [name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Indy[/name] though!
[name]Isidore[/name] - not a fan
[name]Ivo[/name] - very cool
[name]Journey[/name] - just reminds me of the band
[name]Leander[/name] - like it
[name]Leonidas[/name] - would require a pretty tough little boy to pull it off
[name]Linden[/name] - like for a girl or boy
[name]Lionel[/name] - cute

[name]Phineas[/name] - ok

[name]Samson[/name] - great way to get to [name]Sam[/name]
[name]Seamus[/name] - love it
[name]Sorrel[/name] - unique… I like it
[name]Sylvan[/name] - Learning Center… The association ruined it for me

[name]Kai[/name] - never got the appeal of this name
[name]Loyal[/name] - don’t like virtue names
