hi berries !!
[name_f][/name_f]
ive fallen out of love with my chosen name & want to find something i really really love before i go thru the process of actually changing it irl. [name_f][/name_f] i still love love love [name_m]Russ[/name_m] a lot and everyone already calls me that so i want to keep it, but im super picky about initials unfortunately & don’t want R in my initials 
[name_f][/name_f] so really any masculine name that can have the nickname [name_m]Russ[/name_m] and doesn’t start with R is awesome
[name_f][/name_f]
so far im mostly looking at:
[name_f][/name_f]
harrison (LOVE it but it goes poorly with my last name)
[name_f][/name_f]aurelius (LOVE it but im scared to name myself such a big name)
[name_f][/name_f]thoaris (i like it but i don’t love it)
[name_f][/name_f]lazarus (i like it a lot but it feels quite biblical to me)
[name_f][/name_f]
out of these my favorite is harrison and i would choose it if it didn’t sound ridiculous with my surname
[name_f][/name_f]
any ideas are super appreciated thanks guys !!!

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Fergus[/name_m] (Gus is probably more natural but I think [name_m]Russ[/name_m] works?)

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Paris[/name_m]

I worry a lot of these names may be more “grand” than you’re looking for, but hopefully something appeals to you!

I like [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]! And it’s a shame about [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] since you love it so much as it seems like a well balanced choice! Does ‘just’ [name_m]Harris[/name_m] work any better?

thank you, im liking aramis especially [name_f][/name_f]!
How about Laurus? Of the Laurence related names, I felt this one was the next most usable (though of course I don’t know everything relevant to you to assess that) and intuitive for nn Russ. If you like the Lawrence family of names there are a lot of choices to consider at least!
Wishing you lots of luck in finding your new name, Russ

I have been thinking about Laurence/Laurus !! I really will just need to sit down and sift through Llewellyn’s Complete I think, haha !! [name_m]Laurence[/name_m] is so cool and cute though, and it’s my grandfather’s name [name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] thanks for responding
