Gaston

Hello Berries,

Well, we are having a baby girl in a few weeks but I can still think about boy’s names right :D?
I’m crushing on [name_m]Gaston[/name_m] lately and… my husband likes it too (he prefers [name_m]Gustave[/name_m] though. We also had [name_u]August[/name_u] on our list, but it’s getting more and more popular…).

What is your opinion on [name_m]Gaston[/name_m]? Does it fit well with [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] & [name_f]Liv[/name_f]? with Esmée & [name_u]Everest[/name_u]? with [name_f]Colette[/name_f] & [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]? with [name_u]Billie[/name_u] & [name_m]Felix[/name_m]?

Thank you!

The “Gas” part bothers me. I don’t think it fits with the names you listed because it’s really unusual. [name_m]Gustave[/name_m] sounds much better to me.

I agree the Gas part is a bit unfortunate

I like [name_m]Gaston[/name_m] but I would assume you had [name_m]French[/name_m] heritage or a last name that is [name_m]French[/name_m], for example it may seem odd to be [name_m]Gaston[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] or [name_m]Gaston[/name_m] [name_m]McDonald[/name_m]. And here I go again, but [name_m]Gustave[/name_m] reads South American to me. This is based on a [name_m]Gustavo[/name_m] I know but that may not be a common assumption.

I’m not sure I could get past the ‘gas’ part of the name unfortunately. But perhaps that’s less of a concern in [name_f]France[/name_f]? Whilst it could work with your other names, it doesn’t quite suit them the way they do each other. For me, names like [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] etc. - they just ‘go’ together. Perhaps that’s because I like them all so they fit into whatever my style is; whatever the reason, I think [name_m]Gaston[/name_m] would make a better middle name. [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Gaston[/name_m], for example, is very handsome.

It makes me think of “Beauty and the Beast”. Its not a bad name, I think it should be used more.

Alternatives could be [name_m]Gaspar[/name_m] or [name_m]Anton[/name_m].

Makes me this of Beauty and the Beast as well. It’s not a bad name but not something I’d use for my own kid due to this association.
