I’m looking for a solid classic that sounds sweet on a little boy but that ages well. I feel like I’ve looked through every name and I always come back to the same ones, but I’m not in love with any of them! Here’s my list:
[name]Levi[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Jameson[/name] [i pronounce it with all three sylables]
[name]Samuel[/name]
I would love some more suggestions, something that would fit on an adventerous but sweet and handsome boy. Like I said, I feel like I’ve looked at everything, so give me all you got! You may have names I haven’t considered before!
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Corbin[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Ezekiel[/name] nn [name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] nn [name]Gabe[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] nn [name]Joe[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Philip[/name]
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name] - great name!
[name]Trevor[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]How[/name] about [name]Nathan[/name] or [name]Nathaniel[/name]? [name]Nate[/name] and [name]Nathan[/name] provide nice nickname options for [name]Nathaniel[/name]. So, I think that one ages well. It reminds me alot of the name [name]Benjamin[/name], which is on your list.
I’ll suggest some other alternatives, don’t ask me how these are related, they are just names that came to my mind! LOL
For [name]Levi[/name] – how about [name]Jude[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Luke[/name]/[name]Lucas[/name], [name]Mark[/name]/[name]Marcus[/name]/[name]Markus[/name]
For [name]Isaac[/name] (I love this one!) – [name]Isaiah[/name], [name]Ian[/name], [name]Zachary[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Wesley[/name], [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Thaddeus[/name], [name]Gideon[/name]
For [name]Noah[/name] – [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Judah[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Seth[/name], [name]David[/name]
For [name]Ryan[/name] – [name]Matthew[/name], [name]Kevin[/name], [name]Mitchell[/name], [name]William[/name]/[name]Willis[/name], [name]Max[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Terrance[/name], [name]Robert[/name], [name]Raymond[/name], [name]Reuben[/name], [name]Edward[/name]/[name]Edison[/name]/[name]Edmund[/name], [name]Collin[/name], [name]Scott[/name]
For [name]Benjamin[/name] – [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Simeon[/name], [name]Abraham[/name], [name]Christopher[/name]/[name]Christian[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], [name]George[/name]
For [name]Jameson[/name] – [name]Anderson[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Jeremiah[/name], [name]Lawrence[/name]
For [name]Samuel[/name] – [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Michael[/name], [name]Leonard[/name], [name]Phillip[/name]
The first name that popped into my head for you is [name]Simon[/name].
From your list, I love [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Noah[/name].
From the suggestions so far, I really like [name]Isaiah[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], and [name]Ezekiel[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] ezekiel n zeke but when I say ezekiel I think ‘bread’… Maybe I can get past that though, because I really like it!) Also, crunchymama, [name]Nathan[/name] is my absolute favorite name ever! Unfortunately I can’t use it, but more suggestions with a ‘[name]Nathan[/name]’ feel would be great!
Hmmmm, how about:
[name]Alan[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Jeremiah[/name] ([name]Jem[/name])
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Silas[/name] ([name]Si[/name])
[name]Thaddeus[/name] ([name]Thad[/name])
[name]Wyatt[/name]
I tried to get some different names in there–so no worries if they aren’t right.
Good [name]Luck[/name]!
T
I really like [name]Alan[/name] but I’m afraid it’s a little geeky sounding. I also think of [name]Alan[/name] [name]Jackson[/name] which I don’t like either. So I don’t think I’d use it, but it’s definitley my style. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Caleb[/name] but already know one so wouldn’t use that either. I don’t like [name]Jeremiah[/name]- bad association in my head… but [name]LOVE[/name] the nn [name]Jem[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Jeremy[/name] either though, so I don’t know how else I could get [name]Jem[/name].
First thought: [name]Christopher[/name].
It’s a classic. It’s timeless. It’s suitable for a cute little boy all the way up to a grown older man. It has a ton of nicknames. Really, in my book a perfect name.
Plus, I think you were thinking about using [name]Makai[/name] as a middle name and [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Makai[/name] or (better yet [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Kai[/name]!!) has a great ring to it.
[name]Christopher[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Makai[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Kai[/name]
[name]Simon[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Kai[/name]
Here are some names from different styles.
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Royce[/name]
[name]Lorne[/name]
[name]Magnus[/name]
[name]Dimitri[/name]
[name]Sidney[/name]
[name]Jubal[/name]
[name]Cyrus[/name]
[name]Darien[/name]
Trevelyan
[name]Rainer[/name]
[name]Nahum[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Keaton[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Tremayne[/name]
[name]Orion[/name]
[name]Piers[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Jabez[/name]
[name]Shem[/name]
[name]Lennon[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name]
[name]Albion[/name]
[name]Finnegan[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Lucius[/name]
[name]Enoch[/name]
[name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Reuben[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Fabian[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Cosmo[/name]
[name]Nicodemus[/name]
[name]Gregor[/name]
[name]Tierney[/name]
[name]Darius[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Roscoe[/name]
[name]Odin[/name]
[name]Justin[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Lysander[/name]
[name]Tarquin[/name]
hmm… I like [name]Jasper[/name]. Also, I love the name [name]Justin[/name] but it’s another I can’t use because of people I already know. Also, I love [name]Christopher[/name] but associate it with this really disgusting sub shop in town, and also I hate the nn [name]Chris[/name]. But [name]Christopher[/name], in full, is a great name for a little boy!
I can relate to name overload! Would [name]Joel[/name] be a possibility?
I can relate too, I have looked at every name at least three times. The clock’s ticking and I still haven’t got a boy’s name I love. I like classics too but don’t want a top tenner.
Here are some on our list that aren’t on your list:
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]*
[name]Lawrence[/name]/[name]Laurie[/name] (and then I will make him marry someone called [name]Jo[/name] and right past wrongs)
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]August[/name]* (we would call him [name]Augie[/name])
[name]Gulliver[/name] (I know, a little trendy, but we came up with it 8 years ago and thought we were sooo amazing and original)
[name]Gideon[/name]*
[name]Johnny[/name]
[name]Robin[/name]
[name]Claude[/name] (but my husband can’t get past the meaning)
[name]William[/name]*
Names I like but can’t use:
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Nicol[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name] (I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Teddy[/name], and would consider it on its own but my daughter is [name]Frederique[/name] and sometimes [name]Freddy[/name])
*getting too popular for my liking
I also like some less classic names: Toshi, [name]Tolliver[/name] (Tolly), [name]Sacha[/name]. I love [name]German[/name] names like [name]Otto[/name], [name]Luther[/name], [name]Gunther[/name] etc but my husband says no. My husband has suddenly decided he loves [name]Jonah[/name] and [name]Micah[/name]. I am a bit meh.
Ok here are some more names that remind me/feel like [name]Nathan[/name] (again, I don’t think I can explain all the connections! lol)
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Jason[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Neil[/name]
[name]Nelson[/name]
[name]Norman[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Branden[/name]
[name]Brad[/name]/[name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Joshua[/name]
[name]Justin[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name]
