I’ve always had a hard time finding boys names that I love. With girls, I could go on forever, but boys are harder. That being said, some names that make my heart sing are:

Bellamy - I’ve loved this one for a looong time and I’m not even sure why! It just sounds so gentle and sweet and I always smile when I say it.

Clark - this one brings superheroes (Superman) and Old Hollywood ([name_m]Clark[/name_m] [name_m]Gable[/name_m]) together. It doesn’t get much cooler than that.

Rafferty - this one is a new discovery for me and I love it! It’s preppy and mischievious at the same time and [name_m]Raff[/name_m] and [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] make for such cool nicknames.

Malachi - another new discovery! It’s dynamic, cool, sounds like a name out of a fantasy novel, and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] is a great nickname.

Adler - this one means “eagle”, which is already cool, but then it’s also the last name of [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Adler[/name_m], one of the very few characters who ever managed to outsmart [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m]. A badass meaning AND a feminist icon reference? Sign me up!

Otis - this one is quirky and charming, with a pleasant old fashioned-yet-modern quality that I really like.

Deacon - uncommon occupational names are my jam! [name_m]Deacon[/name_m] is stately yet accessible and it’s got an air of sophistication without being pompous.

Abbott - just like [name_m]Deacon[/name_m], a fresh occupational name that needs more love.

Asa - by far my favorite -a ending boys name. It’s so short yet so full of personality!

Lyle - I first heard [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] on MTV’s 16&Pregnant of all places and have been obsessed ever since. [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] is soft and melodic, sunny and light and just so pleasant? It makes me think happy thoughts whenever I hear it.

David. I know it’s simple and everyone probably knows a thousand Davids but it just is a really nostalgic and dependable name that I love to hear.
