Favorite "-ie" or "-y" boy names?

Boy Names

As the title says! Also do you think they age well?

Some of my favourites are

[name_m]Raffy[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]/[name_m]Brodie[/name_m]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_m]Alby[/name_m]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]

I think they age fine - ‘ie’ ‘y’ or nicknamey names in general are fairly common in the UK at least

[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_m]Albie[/name_m]
[name_u]Bertie[/name_u]

[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]/[name_m]Barney[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]

I’m a firm believer that pretty much all names ‘age’ fine. As @greyblue said a lot of ‘ie’ names for boys are quite common in the UK at the moment, and ‘y’ ending names definitely work fine - many are quite well known.

Also from the UK, and agree that they age perfectly well. I really like ‘ee’ ending names.

[name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Jimmy[/name_m]
[name_u]Bobby[/name_u]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_m]Aleksy[/name_m]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_m]Bravery[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_m]Albie[/name_m]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f]

Plus [name_m]Taavi[/name_m] and [name_m]Demetri[/name_m]

[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] and [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] are both past their heyday, but I still adore them! And of course, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is making a huge comeback.

You’re able to picture those names throughout the lifespan, right? I wouldn’t worry about the -y suffix not aging well. :slight_smile:

My favorites are [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] and [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. I think they’re both very charming and age well :). I like [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m] too but that’s because it’s an honor name for me.

@loveoneanother: For what it’s worth I’ve always liked [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]!

I wouldn’t say an -ie or -y ending ages a name any less well than a name with another ending.

[name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]
[name_m]Calloway[/name_m]
[name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_m]Barney[/name_m]

[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_m]Louie[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_m]Geordie[/name_m]
