Now, due to these pregnancy hormones I probably included in my actual list names that would label me unfit to be a parent but don’t hold it against me. Enjoy!

I think a lot of these names are “unusable,” as in I think they’ve either “gone to the girls,” have too much weight or expectation to them, are too tied to a historical, mythological, or famous person, or would be confusing/problematic as first names.

I absolutely love these:
[name]Auden[/name], [name]Brooks[/name], [name]August[/name], [name]Emerson[/name]

These I like and think are very wearable:
[name]Dorian[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Edison[/name] [name]Edmund[/name] [name]Edward[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Ian[/name] [name]Barrett[/name] [name]Bay[/name] [name]Booker[/name] [name]Logan[/name] [name]Phoenix[/name]

These MIGHT be usable, or are fine to use but not my taste:
[name]Dune[/name] [name]Ace[/name] (fine as a nn) [name]Beckham[/name] (I do really like this name, it’s just that [name]David[/name] is so famous!) [name]Caspian[/name] [name]Chance[/name] Ibis [name]Arrow[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] [name]Moses[/name] [name]Percival[/name] Hotaru

These I think are used to frequently on girls:
[name]Madison[/name] [name]Lex[/name] (but [name]Alexander[/name] or [name]Alexios[/name] nn [name]Lex[/name] is great, just not [name]Lex[/name] on its own) [name]Haven[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] [name]Hadley[/name] [name]Briar[/name] [name]Addison[/name] [name]Ainsley[/name] [name]Avery[/name] [name]Ember[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Indiana[/name] [name]Story[/name] [name]Paris[/name] [name]Rain[/name]

These are too word-y for my taste:
[name]Balsam[/name] (Maybe [name]Oak[/name] or [name]Oakley[/name]?) [name]December[/name] Independence [name]Indigo[/name] ([name]Do[/name] you like [name]Indio[/name]? For some reason that seems more wearable to me) [name]Ocean[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name]

These are too place-namey and I think they’d be impractical:
[name]Baltimore[/name] [name]Britain[/name] [name]Egypt[/name] [name]Ireland[/name] [name]England[/name] [name]Amsterdam[/name]

These I think are too tied to a single person (or myth, fictional character, etc.:
[name]Jupiter[/name] [name]Picasso[/name] [name]Remus[/name] [name]Thor[/name] [name]Lazarus[/name] [name]Hamlet[/name] [name]Perseus[/name] [name]Balthazar[/name] [name]Aries[/name] (Have you considered [name]Orion[/name]?)

I think these are a bit dated:
[name]Ambrose[/name] [name]Anatole[/name] [name]Bruce[/name] [name]Chester[/name] [name]Clyde[/name]

I hope you don’t think I’m being too harsh, it’s just a VERY long list and I wanted to quickly narrow it down. For me, [name]Auden[/name] and [name]Brooks[/name] are standouts here- fantastic, shockingly underused names.

Oh my, this is a long list, haha. I’m bored so I’ll comment :slight_smile:

[name]Hamlet[/name] - NMS.

[name]Thor[/name] - No.

Time for the ones that are VERY obviously guilty pleasures :stuck_out_tongue:

Lots of names you like are the same as the ones we are considering for a boy (we are in Australia and due in [name]August[/name])
The ones I am thinking of using are:
[name]Ambrose[/name] - i love this, so underused (which is what we like :slight_smile: )
[name]Arrow[/name] - my husband makes bows so probably a bit much but maybe as a mn
[name]Avery[/name] - not actually liking this one but we love [name]Fern[/name] for a girland [name]Avery[/name] is [name]Fern[/name]'s sister in [name]Charlotte[/name]'s [name]Web[/name]
[name]Bay[/name] - love but would probably only use as a mn
[name]Caspian[/name] - love this but doesn’t really go with our last name
[name]Percival[/name]
[name]Peregrine[/name] - this is our front runner at the moment
[name]Rain[/name] - on our list but for a girl as [name]Raine[/name]

Others we like are:
[name]Amos[/name]
[name]Caspar[/name]
[name]Arlo[/name]

We already have [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Marco[/name], [name]Orrin[/name] and [name]Felix[/name] in the family but I like those too

That’s quite a list, lengthwise.

Names that I think are very usable, that I like, or aren’t too out there for a kid:

[name]Winter[/name] - Fine, prefer it as a middle, might be hard for a boy to carry, but not impossible.
[name]Perseus[/name] - Very usable. It’s not my style, but it’s not my kid, is it? :stuck_out_tongue:
[name]Ace[/name] - cute, but insubstantial
[name]Ambrose[/name] - I like it. Distinguished, funky, but usable. Might sound a little uppity to some.
[name]Anatole[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favourites on your list. I prefer the Russian variation, [name]Anatoly[/name].
[name]Arrow[/name] - Cute. Works better as a middle for me, but not impossible as a first at all.
[name]Avery[/name] - Very workable. I like it.
[name]Balthazar[/name] - Prefer it spelled [name]Balthasar[/name] (a little less Disney-villain). I like it a lot, but it might be a hard name to cary? Nickname Zar could be cool.
[name]Barrett[/name] - Okay. Very usable.
[name]Bay[/name] - Funky, I like it. I think its use on Once Upon a Time for Rumpel’s son makes it usable for a boy.
[name]August[/name] - a great name. The nick [name]Gus[/name] is super cute, as well.
[name]Booker[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favourites. I’d have used it were I not black. I was afraid people would think I was naming him after [name]Booker[/name] T. [name]Washington[/name], who I’m not fond of.
[name]Bruce[/name] (family name, maybe mn?) - I like it as a first or a middle.
[name]Caspian[/name] - Cool.
[name]Clyde[/name] - Cool.
[name]Dorian[/name] - Cool.
[name]David[/name] - Cool, maybe dull.
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Dune[/name] - Cool. I haven’t heard this before. Naturey and kind of a nice science fiction nod.
[name]Briar[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Jupiter[/name] - I know a little girl named this. She’s adorable. Probably works even better on a boy. We call her Jupe. [name]Jove[/name] is also a workable nickname.
[name]Lazarus[/name]
[name]Logan[/name] - very blah and trendy compared to some of your other choices.
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Moses[/name]
[name]Ocean[/name] - Interesting. It could work.
[name]Paris[/name] - I hate the mythological figure. It was cute on [name]Rory[/name]'s friend, though.
[name]Percival[/name] - All right.
[name]Phoenix[/name] - A lot. Maybe for a middle?

On your guilty pleasure list, I think [name]Onyx[/name] could work fairly easily. Also, [name]Juniper[/name] and [name]Cedar[/name].

A lot of your place names left me rather cold, especially the rather random ones, like [name]Baltimore[/name]. It’s a strange city to name a kid after.

I won’t comment on all of the names, but I made a list of my favorites, names I like ok, names I think would work best in the middle, and names I don’t think work AT ALL. So I guess I’m just leaving out the names I think could work, but don’t do anything special for me.

[name]Love[/name]:
[name]Ambrose[/name]
[name]Balthazar[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Moses[/name]
[name]Percival[/name]
[name]Peregrine[/name]

Like:
[name]David[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Ian[/name]

Fun Middles:
[name]Remus[/name]
[name]Arrow[/name]
[name]Bay[/name]
[name]Briar[/name]
[name]Ember[/name]

Dislike:
[name]Addison[/name] – This is a trendy/popular girl’s name these days
Pretty much all of the place names-- You have some uncommonly heard choices here, but that just makes me feel even more that they do not belong as names. The only one I like at all is [name]Phoenix[/name].
[name]Picasso[/name]-- has an association too strong to work on a child, in my opinion.
[name]Indigo[/name] – I think this name is lovely on a girl, but I’m not sold on the other gender.
