Favorite 'feminine' names on boys

Boy Names
1

after months of putting it off, I’m finally redoing my list and UC!

I’m looking for some inspiration for new feminine/unisex names for boys. I’m a bit more extreme/brave when it comes to feminine names, so feel free to suggest anything, even if you think it’s very bold or just a guilty pleasure!!
for reference, I have names like [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_u]Willow[/name_u], and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] on my first name list and names like [name_u]Dandelion[/name_u], [name_u]Hummingbird[/name_u], and [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] on my middle list!
I tend to fall in love with nature/word names more often, but I’m open to all styles of names.
It’s also okay if the names lean more towards unisex than feminine (even if they’re more commonly used on boys too!), as I’m looking to create a masterlist of favorites before working on my combos!

anyway, sorry this is so long :sweat_smile: thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for commenting and leaving some suggestions!
hope you’re having a wonderful day!! :blush:

[name_u]Rosen[/name_u]
and [name_u]Beck[/name_u] of course, being so closely associated with [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f].

I’ll link the BNG where a lot of these were explored. It was a ‘follow the last letter’ one so it was a little restrictive in terms of letting ideas flow but still, lots of great ideas were put forward! It’s a good read :blush:

Dargh, can’t find it! [name_m]Will[/name_m] come back to edit with the link. @ferix08 was this game one of yours?

ahhh, thank you so much everyone for the replies!!!

@EagleEyes thank you!! some of those are on my list, but other ones I hadn’t even thought of!! Also, Bluebird, [name_f]Wildflower[/name_f], and [name_u]Solstice[/name_u] are just incredible, I can’t wait to pair them with first names! Oh, and my middle name is on that list, which made me laugh! What a coincidence! :sweat_smile:

@almostactually oh my, so many beautiful names I never would’ve thought of! I’m adding so many of them to my list immediately, thank you! Also, so happy to see more love for [name_f]Merry[/name_f]!!

@katkabet so happy to see other people feel the same!!! Thank you so much for your list! [name_f]Maple[/name_f] and Blackbird are so swoonworthy!!

@alatari it makes me happy to hear I’m not alone, so am I!! [name_u]Willow[/name_u] is in my current top favorite boy names, so it makes me smile seeing more appreciation for it!! thank you for the list, I’ll definitely be adding the ones I don’t already have to my own list!

@sparklingdust oh, what a beautiful list! I didn’t realize til you said it, but I think that’s why I love so many international boy names too! It makes me smile seeing love for [name_m]Etienne[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_u]Lior[/name_u], and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]! Also, instantly in love with [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] and [name_u]Yael[/name_u]!!!

@ethelmary I could be wrong, but I think I saw you talking about [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] on a boy, and I instantly fell in love with it! I have an awful memory though, so I apologize if it wasn’t you :sweat_smile: thank you!!

@EdgeOfTheMeadow my best friend is a boy named [name_u]Angel[/name_u]! I’ve always loved that name, perhaps it was the start of my love for feminine names on boys! :sweat_smile: your list is stunning, so many names I hadn’t even thought of!! [name_f]Celandine[/name_f] in particular made my heart skip a beat. Also, [name_u]Beck[/name_u] has been a favorite of mine since I was young, I’m always so thrilled to see you have a son with the name! It’s okay about the thread, I can try to find it, thank you for telling me about it!! :blush:

@Greyblue such a beautiful list, thank you!! a lot of them are my favorites, and I have now fallen in love with [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_u]Ara[/name_u], and [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] :heart_eyes: [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] is a name I’ve never been a fan of on a girl, but there’s something special about it on a boy! Thank you!!

@minxtruck thank you!! one of those is actually my name! :sweat_smile: also, I love your pfp!!

@Kipperbo1 we have such a similar style!!! your list is incredible!! a few of my most beloved names are on it! some of these I hadn’t thought of considering for a boy though, and I’m so in love! Thank you!!!

@Bellarinareader16 your list is so sweet!! I love [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] too! [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] is one I always forget to add to my list, so thank you, and I never thought of [name_u]Marin[/name_u] for a boy but I love it!!!

@tfzolghadr I remember your birth announcement for your son, it was the first time I had seen [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] used on a real person, and I instantly fell in love! It’s been years, but it’s still at the very top of my favorites list!!
Thank you so much for the list!! There are so many wonderful names that hadn’t crossed my mind! I would list my favorites from the list you gave, but there are entirely too many that I love. I’m so excited to create combos using some (a lot!) of them. Also, both my first and middle name made it on the list which made me smile! thank you again!

@anon25197097 [name_u]Raven[/name_u] was one of the first feminine names on boys I fell in love with!!! [name_u]Penrose[/name_u] is equally as lovely, thank you!!
