Cottagecore / Gaelic Boy Name Suggestions?

Boy Names
1

Struggling to find a boy name that I love. I think I tend to prefer the cottagecore/nature/gaelic types - but I can be all over the place. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Briar[/name_u] - which sadly are associated with girls. I want something masculine yet soft. Honestly I’m not even sure what I want , haha.

Last name “Rider”. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is [name_m]Frederic[/name_m] and my name is [name_u]Kari[/name_u].

These are ones on our list but I haven’t felt 100% on any of them…

[name_u]Dawson[/name_u]

[name_u]Landon[/name_u]

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]

[name_u]Nolan[/name_u]

[name_m]Brody[/name_m]

[name_u]Briar[/name_u]

[name_u]Finn[/name_u]

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Rider[/name_m] from Tangled :slight_smile:
(Probably would never use but I think it’s cute, haha)

This is my first post. I just created my account. I’m not pregnant - but we are actively trying! I am a planner so it’s driving me crazy that I have chosen girl names but no boy name I’m 100% on.

Thank you!!

welcome to nameberry!

here are a few ideas for you:

oisin
emerson
wilder
shepherd
amias
rafferty
moss
dorian
indy
forest
ronan

a few combos for inspiration:

ronan amias
forest rafferty
dorian oliver
emerson cove
angus oisin
forest maxwell

overall, i really like ronan for you, it’s soft like rowan, but i think the n’s give it a more masculine sound. also the meaning is beyond adorable, imo! 🦭
