Kestral

In the boy’s column, I like [name]Gable[/name], [name]Raleigh[/name] and [name]Tate[/name] (favorite).
For girls, I prefer [name]Emory[/name] and [name]Geneva[/name].

[name]Eben[/name] is a huge guilty pleasure name for me…[name]Ebeneezer[/name] nn [name]Eben[/name]. DH looked at me like I had five heads when I suggested it. I could really love [name]Eben[/name] as a standalone name too though.

I like [name]Basil[/name] a lot, but only when said basil, short A, not [name]BAY[/name]-zil. I’m afraid in the US, it would always sound like a pizza topping.

[name]Locke[/name], I never really thought about this as a first name, but I could totally get behind it. Very strongly associated with Lost though.

[name]Gable[/name] is kind of fun, nice [name]Clark[/name] [name]Gable[/name] debonair vibe to it. I wonder if the first syllable would cause teasing though–as much as Id like to think kids are getting nicer about that kind of thing, I dont know.

Those are some of my favorites as well. I adore [name]Geneva[/name]!

I really like [name]Ebenezer[/name]! The meaning behind it is so beautiful, but I find [name]Eben[/name] is more usable

[name]Basil[/name] might be more of a mn option.

I never watched Lost so I don’t know the connection, just like the name and prefer it to [name]Lachlan[/name].

[name]Gable[/name] is one I just came across recently and really love. I don’t think teasing would be any worse than for [name]Gabe[/name] or [name]Gabriel[/name] or [name]Gabrielle[/name].

I like [name]Gable[/name], [name]Tate[/name], and [name]Hale[/name].

For girls, I like [name]Thessaly[/name], [name]Coral[/name] and [name]Gem[/name]

I’m lovin [name]Gable[/name], [name]Raleigh[/name], [name]Tate[/name], [name]Hale[/name] for a boy
and [name]Thessaly[/name], [name]Coral[/name], [name]Darcy[/name], and [name]Geneva[/name] for a girl!

I love love the name [name]Coral[/name], but it would clash with my last name… I’m thinking a lot about [name]Coralie[/name]!

[name]Gable[/name]- Reminds me of [name]Clark[/name] [name]Gable[/name], and could use the nn [name]Gabe[/name], so I don’t mind this.
[name]Raleigh[/name]- Not terrible. Reminds me of The [name]Royal[/name] Tennenbaums, which isn’t a bad thing.
[name]Fenix[/name]- This would be ok spelled [name]Phoenix[/name]. Spelled this way I really, really do not like it.
[name]Dewey[/name]- Not a fan.
[name]Eben[/name]- NMS but don’t mind this.
[name]Tate[/name]- I’ve never been a fan of this name.
[name]Rigel[/name]- Not sure of pronunciation.
[name]Locke[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Basil[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Rufus[/name]- Cute!
[name]Hale[/name]- Ok.

[name]Thessaly[/name]- Very pretty!
Dulia- Prefer [name]Dahlia[/name]. Dulia reminds me of The Wedding Singer, although I know it’s [name]Julia[/name] Gulia.
[name]Gem[/name]- Cute as a nn for [name]Gemma[/name] or [name]Jemima[/name].
[name]Coral[/name]- Cute.
[name]Fawn[/name]- Really dislike this.
[name]Henley[/name]- Same as above.
[name]Emory[/name]- To me this sounds masculine, probably because of [name]Amory[/name] [name]Blaine[/name].
[name]Darcy[/name]- Cute, if a bit dated.
Katterli- Screams “trying to hard” to me.
[name]Geneva[/name]- Gorgeous!
Kestral- Isn’t this a mythical beast in HP? I don’t know about that…

I like [name]Tate[/name] for a girl or a boy- but more as a middle I think.

[name]Rigel[/name] is pronounced [name]Rye[/name]-juhl like the star.
I’m not sure I like [name]Gemma[/name] or [name]Jemima[/name], but I do like [name]Gem[/name]. Not sure if it’s too close to [name]Jim[/name] though.
[name]Emory[/name] masculine? really? to me it’s like [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Marie[/name] together, I thought the criticism would be emery board!
I agree that Katterli is trying to hard, I just thought it was an interesting one, like a character name maybe
You’re thinking of a Thestral. Kestral is a bird and isn’t in HP :slight_smile: I should know!

[name]Gable[/name] - so/so
[name]Raleigh[/name] - nice, but I think it’s girly
[name]Fenix[/name] - spell it phoenix
[name]Dewey[/name] - eww
[name]Eben[/name] - sounds made up
[name]Tate[/name] - nice. Not unique, though
[name]Rigel[/name] - NMS
[name]Locke[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Basil[/name] - this is a dog name to me.
[name]Rufus[/name] - dog’s name
[name]Hale[/name] - lovely, will get the Hail reference, as in weather

[name]Thessaly[/name] - love it, you might also like [name]Thalassa[/name]
Dulia - Sounds like you just swapped the J in [name]Julia[/name] for a D
[name]Gem[/name] - nice, but like [name]Gemma[/name] better. Or actually gem-ish names. [name]Saphire[/name], saphira, garnet etc.
[name]Coral[/name] - have always hated this name, I don’t get the attraction. It is becoming quite popular. Not unique.
[name]Fawn[/name] - as in deer? don’t like
[name]Henley[/name] - nice, will get the reference to the shirt
[name]Emory[/name] - as in board? to file nails? (emery)
[name]Darcy[/name] - nice
Katterli (saw this on movie credits the other day and was interested) - interesting. Would spell it Katterly though
[name]Geneva[/name] - [name]Love[/name]. But I’m biased as it’s my daughter’s name
Kestral - this is a bird (kestrel)

[name]Gable[/name] - I don’t love it, but it could work as a name.
[name]Raleigh[/name] - Handsome!
[name]Fenix[/name] - I don’t like this creative spelling.
[name]Dewey[/name] - decimal system! Ha! Also, sounds kind of wet and gross…sorry.
[name]Eben[/name]…I misread as [name]Eden[/name] at first.
[name]Tate[/name] - I prefer [name]Nate[/name].
[name]Rigel[/name]…I prefer [name]Nigel[/name].
[name]Locke[/name]…I prefer [name]Lachlan[/name].
[name]Basil[/name]…very eccentric and cute! It could work.
[name]Rufus[/name]…I think any kid named [name]Rufus[/name] would have to be VERY cool to pull it off, but again, it could work.
[name]Hale[/name]…sounds like a really hardcore middle name. It’s interesting, and could grow on me. Might get “[name]Hallie[/name]” every once in awhile.

[name]Thessaly[/name]…interesting…I’ve never considered it before. I think I prefer [name]Tressa[/name] or [name]Tessa[/name], but [name]Thessaly[/name] is very pretty too.
Dulia…I agree with gblondie…sounds like [name]Julia[/name] with a D, and [name]Julia[/name] is a lot nicer!
[name]Gem[/name]…cute! Seems a little short, but it’s really pretty. Could obviously be a nn for [name]Gemma[/name], or could be a bit of a stretch, but could work as a nn for any gem-stone name. Also, I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Jem[/name] as a nn for [name]James[/name] (for a boy).
[name]Coral[/name]…really, really lovely.
[name]Fawn[/name]…sort of hippy, but very innocent and natural sounding.
[name]Henley[/name]…a type of shirt.
[name]Emory[/name]…sounds like a think to file nails with.
[name]Darcy[/name]…it’s alright, sounds a little dated.
Katterli (saw this on movie credits the other day and was interested)…very interesting…I don’t know!
[name]Geneva[/name]…I really love this, it’s so pretty.
Kestral…a little avian…but it could work.

[name]Gable[/name] - nice and smooth, with the cool nn [name]Gabe[/name]; I like this
[name]Raleigh[/name] - sounds a bit too stuffy
[name]Fenix[/name] - like [name]Phoenix[/name] much better
[name]Dewey[/name] - like the decimal system; or Hewey, [name]Dewey[/name] and [name]Louie[/name] - I’ll admit, not my favorite
[name]Eben[/name] - I like it; I know a teenage [name]Ebon[/name]
[name]Tate[/name] - I like this, it’s strong and classic and easy to spell/pronounce
[name]Rigel[/name] - just looks like [name]Nigel[/name] misspelled
[name]Locke[/name] - I like this, but I think of [name]John[/name] [name]Locke[/name], a philosopher; this is actually nice though, very strong and easy to pronounce, but people might misspell it as [name]Lock[/name]
[name]Basil[/name] - I know a teenage one, it’s a nice name, but people always mispronounce it like the herb
[name]Rufus[/name] - all dog to me
[name]Hale[/name] - nice and strong, pretty cool

[name]Thessaly[/name] - hmm, kind of pretty, with nns [name]Aly[/name] and [name]Tess[/name], probably my favorite of your girl names
Dulia - just looks like [name]Julia[/name] misspelled
[name]Gem[/name] - prefer as a nickname to [name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Coral[/name] - this one’s okay, with a nice association of coral reefs
[name]Fawn[/name] - kind of hippy-dippy, just makes me think of [name]Bambi[/name]
[name]Henley[/name] - this isn’t too bad, just sounds more masculine to me, but it could work
[name]Emory[/name] - I just think of emery boards, but again, not too bad with nn [name]Emmy[/name]
[name]Darcy[/name] - sounds dated now
Katterli - too made-up-ish for me, i like it spelled Katterly better, but I still don’t like it
[name]Geneva[/name] - this is nice, very girly yet strong, this ties with [name]Thessaly[/name]
Kestral - it could work on the right person

Yay for a little [name]Geneva[/name], I’m so in love with this name!
I love [name]Thessaly[/name] because it’s weird but seems so obvious to spell and pronounce.
[name]Raleigh[/name] is girly? Really? Never would have considered that, it feels super masculine to me.
I honestly never knew this was the name of a shirt before I heard it as a name!
The reason I like [name]Coral[/name] is because it has the old fashioned-ness of [name]Cora[/name] with a bit of modern flair

The reason I like [name]Fenix[/name] is because I like the phen rather than fin pronunciation. I think I like it more as a character name than a real life name anyway.
[name]Rufus[/name] is the first name of one of my favorite singers. It’s true that it might take a lot of cool to overcome any dorkiness
Does [name]Darcy[/name] sound dated? I’ve only known 1 in my entire life so it’s hard for me to gauge.
I like [name]Lachlan[/name] a lot as well. If I ever used [name]Locke[/name]/[name]Lock[/name]/Lach/[name]Loch[/name] I’d probably use [name]Lachlan[/name] and nn it.
[name]Nigel[/name] seems so prissy to me. [name]Rigel[/name] seems more free-spirited, though probably a better dogs name
You’re right that [name]Dewey[/name] has that wet/gross feel. I like the library connection though, maybe a mn

Good to know [name]Eben[/name]/[name]Ebon[/name] is getting some love
I like the [name]Gabe[/name] option of [name]Gable[/name] as well
[name]Glad[/name] you like [name]Thessaly[/name]!
I like the nn Kes and the avian feel of Kestral or Kestrel. I had a childhood friend name Keswin and this name reminds me of her
I know [name]Tate[/name]'s not too weird, but I like it as a middle and I’ve never met one.

[name]Gable[/name] - I like this actually, maybe not as a fn though, more of a mn, but it sounds Handsome!
[name]Raleigh[/name] - dislike
[name]Fenix[/name] - dislike
[name]Dewey[/name] - dislike
[name]Eben[/name] - dislike
[name]Tate[/name] - dislike
[name]Rigel[/name] - interesting- as long as the pronounciation is obvious, this might not be too bad
[name]Locke[/name] - like
[name]Basil[/name] - This is my cousin’s name, good strong name for a boy. And we do proounounce it the American way as “bay-zil,” he’s never had a problem (he’s in his 50’s now)
[name]Rufus[/name] - like
[name]Hale[/name] - dislike

[name]Thessaly[/name] - like- nms
Dulia - dislike
[name]Gem[/name] - more of a nn
[name]Coral[/name] - like, seems very cute and sweet
[name]Fawn[/name] - dislike
[name]Henley[/name] - dislike
[name]Emory[/name] - dislike
[name]Darcy[/name] - like
Katterli - interesting, nms, but not that bad
[name]Geneva[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
Kestral - dislike

[name]Gable[/name] - This is okay.
[name]Raleigh[/name] - Not awful, but not really my taste. I think that some people may see this one on paper and interpret it as being a trendy, female spelling of [name]Riley[/name].
[name]Fenix[/name] - Not really for me.
[name]Dewey[/name] - This is probably my least favorite on your list. I imagine that this would be really, really hard too wear - I think of Walk Hard: The [name]Dewey[/name] Cox story and [name]Huey[/name], [name]Dewey[/name], and [name]Louie[/name]. The [name]Dewey[/name] Decimal System is a less goofy connotation, but I think that there’s still teasing potential there.
[name]Eben[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Tate[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Rigel[/name] - This is okay. I think it could make for a really cool middle.
[name]Locke[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Basil[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Rufus[/name] -[name]Love[/name].
[name]Hale[/name] - [name]Love[/name].

[name]Thessaly[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
Dulia - It reminds me of the word ‘doula.’ I expect it would be constantly misheard as [name]Julia[/name]. Really don’t like this one.
[name]Gem[/name] - I can’t fully decide on this one. I think I like it. I’m split on it as a first name but think that it would be pretty awesome in the middle spot.
[name]Coral[/name] - Like.
[name]Fawn[/name] - I like this a lot. It may be a bit overly cutesy, but I still like it. This is another one that I think would make a great middle.
[name]Henley[/name] - I don’t like this one.
[name]Emory[/name] - I prefer this on a boy personally, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
[name]Darcy[/name] - Like.
Katterli - I don’t think I like this? I’m not sure. To be honest, it sort of reminds me of Caterpie, a kind of Pokemon.
[name]Geneva[/name] - I like this.
Kestral - I like this, but prefer it spelled Kestrel.

From you list I like [name]Gable[/name], [name]Fenix[/name] (spelled [name]Phoenix[/name] though), [name]Locke[/name], and [name]Basil[/name].

I was recently introduced to [name]Gable[/name] by another [name]Berry[/name], and ever since I like it. I am considering it a nn for [name]Gabriel[/name]. As a pp mentioned, I am a bit worried about teasing potential for the first syllable. When I did a little research, most people with the name [name]Gabriel[/name] mentioned their were bullied about it.

On the other hand, I also like [name]Fable[/name], but cannot think of any first name to go with it.

[name]Gable[/name] - I like [name]Gable[/name], but I think it would be confused with the word “cable” and the name [name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Raleigh[/name] - I like it a lot of a girl.
[name]Fenix[/name] - Yes, but only if spelled [name]Phoenix[/name]
[name]Dewey[/name] - No.
[name]Eben[/name] - No… the way I would pronounce it would rhyme with the name [name]Evan[/name], which I think it would be confused with
[name]Tate[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
[name]Rigel[/name] - Kind of iffy…
[name]Locke[/name] - Like a lot
[name]Basil[/name] - Kind of girly, but would be a cool middle name
[name]Rufus[/name] - Like a lot
[name]Hale[/name] - Too easily confused with the word “hell”

[name]Thessaly[/name] - Very pretty
Dulia - No… I would pronounce it like the word “doula” (a labour coach)
[name]Gem[/name] - Middle name - yes, but [name]Gemma[/name] would be a stunning first name
[name]Coral[/name] - No… this does not sound like a name to me. I recommend the name [name]Cora[/name] instead.
[name]Fawn[/name] - No, like [name]Coral[/name], this does not sound like a name.
[name]Henley[/name] - OK, but not distincitve
[name]Emory[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name], or [name]Emery[/name] as well!
[name]Darcy[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
Katterli (saw this on movie credits the other day and was interested) - I would pronounce it ca-ter-[name]LEE[/name]. NMS
[name]Geneva[/name] - Cute
Kestral - No.

Gonna give my honest opinions.

[name]Gable[/name]- Maybe for a mn. Reminds me of [name]Fable[/name].
[name]Raleigh[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this. I know a little girl with this as her mn.
[name]Fenix[/name]- No. [name]Phoenix[/name] I like, though.
[name]Dewey[/name]- No.
[name]Eben[/name]- Looks too much like [name]Eden[/name].
[name]Tate[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this a lot.
[name]Rigel[/name]- No.
[name]Locke[/name]- Could maybe see for a mn.
[name]Basil[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like this.
[name]Rufus[/name]- The name of a rat from a cartoon I watched as a child.
[name]Hale[/name]- Not a fan.

[name]Thessaly[/name]- Nope.
Dulia- Not a fan.
[name]Gem[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like this.
[name]Coral[/name]- Why not just [name]Cora[/name]? I find [name]Coral[/name] awkward to say.
[name]Fawn[/name]- Interesting…I could see this as a mn.
[name]Henley[/name]- Kind of like it. I would like it more if it wasn’t a type of shirt.
[name]Emory[/name]- I think I like it.
[name]Darcy[/name]- Nope.
Katterli- [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]Geneva[/name]- Dislike this.
Kestral- Really, really dislike.

on my own list:
[name]Gable[/name] - girl
[name]Phoenix[/name] - both
[name]Rigel[/name] - both
[name]Basil[/name] - both
[name]Fawn[/name]
Kestrel - boy

Those name are really sounds unique. I like Darcy for a girl and Henley for a boy. Katterli is the most unique from this all. Generic Pharmacy Online
