Drawing a blank on boys

Boy Names
1

So my girls names style is easy to pin down, dramatic names that feel magical with short spunky unisex nick names. It is important to me that any future sibsets match stylistically, but I am having a hard time finding what I am looking for with boys names.

My thoughts on my boys list now:
I really like nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m] but is [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] too normal next to my girls list?
I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Kip[/name_m] but is it too close to [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cody[/name_u]? (which is my top girls name)
I’m probably going to scrap the rest of the boys names as they just don’t make sense with my girls names

I’m looking for:
Grand and magical sounding names with spunky nicknames, and it’s really important to me the nns to be something off the beaten path so not like [name_m]Rodrick[/name_m] nn [name_m]Rick[/name_m] and more like [name_m]Mordecai[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u]

Really looking forward to your feedback and any ideas you might have

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I love [name_m]Pip[/name_m]! [name_m]Pip[/name_m] can be a nn to tons of ‘P’ names. Like [name_m]Philipe[/name_m], [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] or [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. Or [name_m]Pepito[/name_m] or Pierto if you’re into those.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Kip[/name_m] seems just fine w/[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cody[/name_u]. It’s not too matchy; they seem to go well.

Other suggestions:

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m]

[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ace[/name_m]…Heck, you can do any ‘A’ name nn [name_m]Ace[/name_m].

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] nn Bash

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u]/[name_u]Chase[/name_u]/[name_m]Chance[/name_m]/[name_m]Cab[/name_m]/[name_m]Chet[/name_m]

[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] nn [name_m]Gib[/name_m]/[name_m]Gibby[/name_m]

[name_m]Luciano[/name_m] nn [name_m]Luc[/name_m]/[name_m]Leo[/name_m]

[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Nils[/name_m]

[name_m]Nataniel[/name_m] nn [name_m]Nils[/name_m]

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] nn Patch

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn [name_m]Penn[/name_m]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Satch[/name_m]/Bash

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] nn Thax

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn Thax or [name_m]Thatch[/name_m]

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Tuck/name_m

[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zeke[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

Thank you!

I love [name_m]Percival[/name_m] nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn Bash, and [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] nn Thax

Unfourtunatly I can’t use [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] or [name_m]Zeke[/name_m] but that is a cool idea!

I am glad to hear you think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] can be siblings.

I just thought of [name_m]Roland[/name_m] nn [name_f]Ro[/name_f], thoughts?

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_m]Sean[/name_m], Bash, Tio)

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] ([name_u]Bo[/name_u], [name_m]Arrow[/name_m])
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] (Ender, [name_m]Eddie[/name_m])
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] ([name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_u]Sandy[/name_u], [name_u]Sunny[/name_u])
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] ([name_u]Dell[/name_u], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Shay[/name_u])
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] ([name_u]Poe[/name_u])

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] ([name_u]Rex[/name_u], [name_m]Fox[/name_m])
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] ([name_m]Luc[/name_m], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_u]Lennie[/name_u])
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] ([name_u]Joss[/name_u], [name_u]Jai[/name_u])
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] ([name_u]Finn[/name_u])
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ([name_m]Thor[/name_m], [name_m]Tor[/name_m])

I think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] are fine together too :slight_smile:

[name_f]Grace[/name_f] you are a genius I love [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Poe[/name_u]!!!
Also loving:
[name_m]Fredrick[/name_m] nn [name_m]Fox[/name_m]/ [name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_m]Thor[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] nn [name_u]Bo[/name_u] ([name_m]Arrow[/name_m] is amazing to I’m just saving it for a middle name)
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]

Oh good another vote for [name_m]Kip[/name_m] and [name_u]Cody[/name_u] as siblings! :slight_smile:
Great ideas so far guys thank you!!!

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] & [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] / [name_m]Kip[/name_m] & [name_u]Cody[/name_u] is a great sibling set I think!

[name_m]Roland[/name_m] on the other hand I’m not a fan of, it’s a 50-something stuffy old dude’s name in my ears haha. [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] is ok but too boring with [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]. For the nickname [name_m]Pip[/name_m] I would definitely go with something a bit more unusual like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] or the likes.

I’d also like:

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Leander[/name_m] “[name_m]Ean[/name_m]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] “[name_u]Kit[/name_u]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] “[name_u]Poe[/name_u]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_u]August[/name_u] “[name_m]Ace[/name_m]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] “[name_m]Fred[/name_m]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Emilio[/name_m] “[name_u]Bo[/name_u]”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_m]Constantin[/name_m] “[name_u]Kit[/name_u]”

I really like the idea of [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] nn [name_u]Poe[/name_u].

Considering:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ace[/name_m]

8

I really like [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] nn Wish :slight_smile:

What about

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] “[name_m]Benji[/name_m]”
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] “[name_u]Van[/name_u]”
[name_m]Edison[/name_m] “[name_u]Sonny[/name_u]”
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m] “[name_m]Gregor[/name_m]”
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m] “Grif”
[name_m]Nelson[/name_m] “[name_u]Sonny[/name_u]”
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] “Bash”

10

[name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] nn Wish is a really interesting idea but just a little too brave for me.

Thank you for all the help so far! I am finally liking my boys list again, any other suggestions you have that are similar to the ones in my sig would be great.

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Lad[/name_m]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u] nn [name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] nn [name_f]Flick[/name_f]
[name_m]Reginald[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rex[/name_u], [name_u]Ren[/name_u]

I love the nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m], maybe use it for [name_u]Perrin[/name_u]?

Came up with these as well

[name_u]Marlow[/name_u] nn [name_u]Mars[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] nn [name_u]Alex[/name_u] or [name_u]Lex[/name_u]
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] nn [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Casper[/name_m] or [name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] nn [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] nn [name_m]Bow[/name_m]
Cappiello nn Cappy or Captian
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] nn [name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zeb[/name_m]

14

In case it comes up and you think [name_m]Kip[/name_m] and [name_m]Pip[/name_m] are too similar, I’d like to recommend Coa (koa) as a nn for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] as siblings.

Also another nn for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]: Ender!

Some suggestions (sorry for repeats):

[name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m] (not offbeat but very much in tune with your style)

[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] nn Fen

[name_m]Rainier[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ren[/name_u]

[name_m]Killian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Kian[/name_m], Kin OR [name_m]Liam[/name_m]

[name_m]Balthazar[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] nn [name_f]Jin[/name_f]

[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
