First time post, boy name combos!

Boy Names
1

[name]Hi[/name] fellow berries!! I’ve been following Nameberry for a while now and I’ve been commenting on other threads but this is my first own post! It took me a while how to figure out how to make a thread. I was just doing it wrong. ([name]Hope[/name] that isn’t just me!) Anyway, I’m actually not going to be naming any kids for a while; I’m just another name-obsessed teenager.
For my first post i decided to ask for opinions and ideas on boy’s names. I have a list of my favorite names and I want to see the best combo’s you can make from these:

[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]/[name]Finley[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Palin[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Henley[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]

*All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
[name]McKenzie[/name]

I’m not the best at making combos, but I love your list with a few exceptions: not a fan of [name]Finn[/name], [name]Mason[/name], [name]Palin[/name], or [name]Henley[/name]. They’re just NMS, but the other names are great. You’ve got a great start!

[name]Mason[/name] - one of the hottest names on the country right now. I guess it’s okay, it just seems overdone to me. I guess it has the appealing sound of [name]Jason[/name], [name]Grayson[/name], etc., but still a bit distinctive of its own. I used to really love it when I first heard it, though.
[name]Finn[/name]/[name]Finley[/name] - I quite love [name]Finley[/name], actually. :slight_smile: I love that it means “fair-haired warrior”. My brother’s fair-haired, and he’s in the [name]Air[/name] Force… so it is quite meaningful to me, haha. I’d use it for him. I do like other [name]Finn[/name] names more, though (particularly [name]Flynn[/name], [name]Finnegan[/name], and [name]Phineas[/name]).
[name]James[/name] - a timeless classic. You can’t go wrong with [name]James[/name], even though it’s not a personal favorite. I do respect those who do use it, though!
[name]Palin[/name] - I think this would be quite risky, with [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Palin[/name] and all. I like [name]Peyton[/name] much more on a boy.
[name]Noah[/name] - love it. :slight_smile: It’s long been a favorite of mine. Due to its popularity, I’m starting to prefer it as a MN, but I really do adore it, and would love to use it one day.
[name]Jacob[/name] - I’ve been scared off by its popularity, and the nn of [name]Jake[/name] (which I really can’t stand!) but I love hearing [name]Jacob[/name] and I imagine just the most gentlemanly, artistic guy with the name. Probably because of a character I created for a novel once. :slight_smile:
[name]Bennett[/name] - I like it a lot, but I prefer [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Benedict[/name], personally.
[name]Arthur[/name] - I respect it, but I don’t love it. I’m not sure I’d ever use it… if I did, I’d use it as a MN.
[name]Henley[/name] - It’s intriguing, but sorry, all I can think of is 1, hens, and 2, the band [name]Hedley[/name]. I don’t think I could use it, sorry.
[name]Oliver[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] it! If [name]Olivia[/name] wasn’t on my top 3 for girls, I would seriously consider [name]Oliver[/name]. I love it a lot. I also love [name]Oscar[/name], probably even more than [name]Oliver[/name], and I think [name]Oscar[/name]'s a bit more distinctive. Then again, it has more off-putting associations ([name]Oscar[/name] [name]Meyer[/name] wieners, [name]Oscar[/name] the Grouch, etc.)–but then again, it has great namesakes imo, too ([name]Oscar[/name] Wilde; [name]Oskar[/name] Schindler).
[name]Jonah[/name] - I like it a lot, but I’d probably use [name]Jonas[/name] first. :slight_smile: I looove [name]Jonas[/name]!

[name]Jonah[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], and [name]Noah[/name] are my favorites! I think [name]Jonah[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Noah[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Jonah[/name]/[name]Jonah[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Noah[/name] [name]Bennett[/name], and [name]Jonah[/name] [name]Bennett[/name] would all be great.

Good luck!

Here are some combos that I like from your list:
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]James[/name] – Classic and quirky first name with a strong, classic middle
[name]Henley[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] – Idk if I’d use [name]Henley[/name] even though it sounds cool, but I still like this combo
[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] – It’s tough to find good middles for [name]Bennett[/name], but I think this works. This combo reminds me of British lit, which to me is a positive association. :slight_smile:
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Finn[/name] – I think this sounds cool

Great feedback Berries! Thanks! I like all the combo’s! And ashthedreamer I see what you mean about [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]Palin[/name]. [name]Palin[/name] I just thought was a sweet name but it would probably only be a mn. [name]Arthur[/name] is not my favorite from first glance but it has personal significance and again it probably still be used as a mn.
Thanks!
