I love [name]Samuel[/name] with the nn [name]Sam[/name]. [name]Levi[/name] is my second choice, but I generally don’t like names that are too short. That being said, they are all good names. [name]Tristan[/name] is nice, but I’m afraid it might become one of those boys-turned-girls names in the near future because of its similarity to [name]Kristen[/name], and the name [name]Trista[/name]. I’ve already met several girls named [name]Tristan[/name], though spelled as [name]Trysten[/name], [name]Tristyn[/name], etc.
[name]Eli[/name] gets my vote. It is strong and fresh. [name]Samuel[/name] is a little too common, [name]Tristan[/name] is a little feminine, and [name]Levi[/name] is becoming extremely popular.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Levi[/name]!
Well, I would definitely eliminate [name]Tristan[/name] if I were you. It just doesn’t fit with your style, so I think it’s the kind of name that you might regret if you use, maybe something you have an attachment to but in the end probably won’t work. I think you should make the leap and remove it from your list to simplify things (if you really love it, you could always put it in the middle). It sounds more romantic than something you’d want to name an actual child.
[name]Samuel[/name], [name]Eli[/name], and [name]Levi[/name] are all fantastic names and you can’t go wrong with any of them!
That said, I would next eliminate [name]Samuel[/name]. It’s just a bit too popular next to [name]Micah[/name] (although [name]Mike[/name] and [name]Sam[/name] are obviously quite compatible), and I just think that of the three, [name]Samuel[/name] would probably be the one you would miss the least (again, not because it isn’t a great name, but just because it doesn’t have the same distinction as the others).
Also, since [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] have such similar sounds, I think you are obviously very much drawn to this sound so you should really go with one of these two. (By the way, it is a great sound, and is especially complimentary next to [name]Micah[/name]) It’s a tough call between these two because both names are so handsome, and also because once you use one, you necessarily eliminate the option to use the other ever in the future. Again, you can’t really go wrong though.
Personally, I would choose [name]Levi[/name] to go with [name]Micah[/name] (though in the interest of full disclosure, I might slightly prefer [name]Eli[/name] if I were naming my own first son). I just think [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Micah[/name] sound wonderful together and are so well balanced ([name]Eli[/name] is a bit short/abrupt next to [name]Micah[/name] having only one consonant and is also a bit more mainstream, while [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Micah[/name] hit almost the exact same note in terms of their familiarity/popularity and also are equal in length/substance). Somehow [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Micah[/name] just sound like brothers to me!
[name]Levi[/name]!
yep, levi its great.
fantstc boys name
Tough decision–so many great names! I love the first three so much, and they all fit beautifully with [name]Micah[/name]. Popularity depends on your neck of the woods, of course, but there are a TON of Elijahs and [name]Elis[/name] where I live (northwest [name]Georgia[/name]); that’s what tipped me over the edge to [name]Levi[/name] or [name]Samuel[/name]. Although I voted for [name]Levi[/name], I think all of the first three names are equally handsome, excellent choices.
I’m not as crazy about [name]Tristan[/name] for the same reasons everyone else has mentioned. I used to teach high school, and of my classes over the years, there were two Tristans, both girls. I automatically picture a girl’s face for that name now. Also, your other choices (including [name]Micah[/name]) are beautiful biblical-sounding names, and [name]Tristan[/name] just doesn’t live up to that standard. I also worry that it might really become trendy, since it has that “sound” that makes names spike and then drop off sharply.
Great choices! Good luck!
I don’t think [name]Tristan[/name] fits well with [name]Micah[/name], or your other three choices. To be honest, I’m not really crazy about the name though. I love the other three! For some reason, I’m leaning towards [name]Eli[/name] or [name]Levi[/name] though.
The only name on your list that I like is [name]Tristan[/name] but I don’t think it goes all that well with [name]Micah[/name].
A few non Biblical suggestions
I like [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Micah[/name], in fact I just [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]!
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Dashiell[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name]
Biblical combos
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Joel[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Stephen[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Ari[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]David[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Paul[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] and [name]Isaac[/name] This is nice!
I don’t think you can go wrong with [name]Eli[/name], [name]Levi[/name] or [name]Samuel[/name], they are all great names that sound terrific with [name]Micah[/name]. But, [name]Tristan[/name] just does not fit in that naming group to me. [name]Just[/name] does not have the same strong, masculine sound or depth to it. I’d take that one off the list if it were me. But, otherwise, I had a hard time picking between the other three! In the end I chose [name]Samuel[/name] with [name]Micah[/name] because I liked how those names sounded together best, and they both have a classic flavor to them.
