I was wondering what some of your favorite guilty pleasure names are for boys. Thanks! :slight_smile:
I consider these to be my guilty pleasure names for boys:
Breaker

All the bad boys names ending in - er ( [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] , [name_m]Breaker[/name_m] etc )
Prometheus
[name_m]Eros[/name_m]
[name_u]Steele[/name_u]
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]

Oh my! I love [name_u]Steele[/name_u], [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], and [name_m]Romeo[/name_m]. And I agree bad boy names are really cool too :slight_smile:

Well , I have a thing about bad boy names :smiley: More bad the image better for me !!

Yeah, I can totally agree with that! :slight_smile:

Anyone else with some guilty pleasure names for boys to share? :slight_smile:

I love “hippie” names, I have a fake sister sibset that I don’t have the guts to use!
Evergreen [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] & [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Mayberry[/name_f]!

([name_m]Even[/name_m] in my guilty pleasure list I favor A’s for boys ha)

My eldest son’s best friend is named [name_u]Ever[/name_u], and [name_u]Ever[/name_u]'s younger brother, my daughter’s friend, is named [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] :slight_smile:

My ultimate guilty pleasure names:
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] (DH won’t go for it, but I’d use it if he would!)
[name_m]Anchor[/name_m]

[name_m]Gaston[/name_m]
[name_m]Etienne[/name_m]
[name_m]Breaker[/name_m]
Coder

Proceed with caution with a name like [name_m]Breaker[/name_m]. It sounds like a wife beater (break her). Driver and [name_m]Booker[/name_m] have the same problem for me as do a lot of names that end in “er”. My guilty pleasure names are from a wide variety of styles and cultures. I have an “eclectic” range I guess :slight_smile:

Oh my goodness, how funny is that. I wish I had the guts. Who knows, maybe when the time comes, I’ll take the plunge :slight_smile:
[name_f]Love[/name_f] your guilty pleasure names too. Coder and [name_m]Anchor[/name_m] are so neat, as are the other names. And [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] is such a handsome name. I would totally try for that. Plus, if y’all like nicknames, there are so many nice choices. [name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Benny[/name_m], and maybe even [name_m]Benji[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I never thought of that about [name_m]Breaker[/name_m] or any other -er names really. Thank you for pointing that out :slight_smile: You certainly saved me some hardship later. I guess you just have to thoroughly think names through and make sure no associations like that can be made with the name. I love your “eclectic” style. I think my style is somewhat growing to be like that the more I get into names :slight_smile:
I love [name_m]Japheth[/name_m], [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Jove[/name_m], [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_f]Indigo[/name_f], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], Vitus with that cute edgy nickname, and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] especially. However, all of the names you listed are all wonderful

I love [name_u]Everest[/name_u], [name_m]Ransom[/name_m], and [name_m]Prosper[/name_m]. All of the other names are really cool as well :slight_smile:

I know some people pronounce [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] as will-der. I find myself pronouncing it wild-er. I wonder if they are both correct or if wild-er is the right pronunciation or if will-der is right? I added [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] to my list, but with the wild-er pronunciation. I wonder?

Super edgy names. I like them a lot :slight_smile: Especially with the neat nicknames. [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] nickname [name_u]Niko[/name_u] is probably my very favorite of of your choices. [name_m]Zephaniah[/name_m] is right behind it though.

[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] is on my list for favorite name for every letter of the alphabet, love it! [name_m]Benno[/name_m] :slight_smile:
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m] reminded me of someone I knew named prosser. His was combined with one of those lat names that makes you think of old money and American empires, kind of like [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m], but even bigger. Altogether it was a really sexy name!
Also:
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u] (a bit too alliterative with [name_m]Stewart[/name_m] as a last name, sniff), [name_f]Indigo[/name_f], shadow (… shadow with [name_m]Stewart[/name_m] I think is a good sounding alliteration, on the other hand). … Hmm, I’d totally go for niall or [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] if the boyfriend wouldn’t immediately veto them. Not crazy names but still on my daydream only list I’m afraid.

[name_m]Benno[/name_m] is adorable! I love that for [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] :slight_smile: [name_f]Shadow[/name_f] [name_m]Stewart[/name_m] does have a nice ring to it. As does [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] [name_m]Stewart[/name_m] actually. My fiance can immediately veto some of my favorite names too. I just try to find new ones :slight_smile: He’s more a [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] while I’m more of a [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m] kind of namer. [name_f]Love[/name_f] your daydream list :slight_smile:

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is at the top of my list and I pronounce it wild-er. I think will-der would never be pronounced right where I’m from.

I love many boys’ names! My guilty pleasure list:
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] (seeing above the pronunciation issues: I pronounce it [name_m]Will[/name_m]-der. I’m from Australia, if it makes a difference?)
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m]

Mine is [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] as I hate [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] so I would use [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] as a full name. As well as [name_m]Archie[/name_m].
On [name_m]Breaker[/name_m] and [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] they sound fine to me as I say [name_m]Ry[/name_m]-dah and Break-ah
@[name_u]Jem[/name_u] I say [name_m]Wild[/name_m]-ah and I think most Australians would
