Favorite word names for boys?

SparkleNinja18 · September 8, 2020, 9:41pm

I did this a couple months ago for girls and I’ve decided to do the same for boys! I want to hear all of your favorite word names for boys, from the common to the totally bizarre (especially the totally bizarre).

Some of the word names on my girls’ list include Stargazer, Sunflower, Wildrose, [name_u]Solstice[/name_u], Eclipse, Wanderlust, and [name_u]Firefly[/name_u], if that gives you comfort that all of your craziest ideas will be met with open arms! I also don’t mind at all if you repeat names because, as words, I think most of these are unisex.

So what are your favorite word names for boys? Thank you!

I love the name [name_m]Foster[/name_m]. Idk if that’s considered a word name? It’s so sweet. I just don’t know if there’d be any sense of a negative connotation or teasing potential. I feel like objectively it’s a positive and wholesome word.
