General Opinions

We have added many more names to our list (thanks for the suggestions!) and just looking for some general opinions. What do you think of our list? Which do you like the most? We tend to lean towards more unique names which can explain some of the choices! The last name rhymes with “[name_u]Dallas[/name_u]”

Dislike…

[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Boone[/name_m]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] - girls name only
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m]

“[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]” was actually supposed to be “[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]” (I fixed it in the posting), sorry I didn’t realize I made that type-o!!

Ok, I’ll put [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] in my like group.

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] - I like this, but mostly in the middle.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] - It’s nice, but not that original sounding. Similar to [name_u]Aiden[/name_u].
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - Very cute and adventurous.
[name_u]Auden[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Arden[/name_u] better.
[name_m]Axel[/name_m] - It is a cool name, but maybe too cool? I’m on the fence.
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] - Not a fan.
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] - This just reminds me of [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m].
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] - I like it, but it is trending big time.
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] - I like this too.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - Another name that is finally getting love.
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] - This is a great name for a little boy. I just can’t picture him not loving it.
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] - This is possibly over the top (and I have a [name_u]Scout[/name_u]).
[name_u]Grey[/name_u]/[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] - It just seems dreary and unhappy to me.
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] - Very nice. I also like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - Too twilight / 101 dalmatians for me.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] - I don’t like this one.
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m] - Okay, but not great.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - Cute and always a nice choice.
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] - Not my style, but not terrible.
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] - I want to like this, but it has always seemed too soft.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] - Another fun name. [name_f]Love[/name_f].
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] - It sounds unfinished to me.
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t leave a big impression.

Overall, I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] best.

My favorites:
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]

Thank you! :slight_smile: We’re thinking we know a few we’re going to get rid of but not completely sure yet!

[name_f]Love[/name_f]:
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] -has a GREAT meaning :slight_smile: This is my favourite from your list
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] (although I prefer this as a nn to a longer name -[name_m]Leonard[/name_m] or [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]…)

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like:
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Boone[/name_m]
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m]
[name_u]Grey[/name_u]/[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] (I’m not a fan of colours as names -they aren’t meaningful enough to me. I believe a name that you use all your life should have significant meaning -if a colour has personal meaning to you, and you can explain it to your child, then great. Otherwise, I’d pick another name.)

Archer -It’s alright, but gets a bonus for reminding me of Robin Hood : )
Arden - I like it, but it just isn’t my style
Arlo - Love. Especially as a NN for Charles.

Auden - I hear “odd”, but I’m never quite sure if that’s just my accent
Axel - Reminds me of grease, and rock’n roll
Bodhi - It sounds to cutesy for me

Boone - I like, maybe more for a middle
Eli - Just not substantial, but still really cool
Ellis - Love

Ezra - Alright, but the ‘a’ ending unnerves me
Flynn - I love this name : ) It’s just wonderful
Gatsby - Nice for the middle, could be embarrasing as a first (just maybe, though)

Grey/Greyson - Nice, but overused. I like Grey a lot.
Hugh - Not my style, but a nice name
Jasper - Cute : ) But maybe too cute?

Jude - I love love love this name. Good for a boy, better yet when he grows.
Lennox - Meh. Unlike Maddox, it doesn’t have the Irish flair to me, so it seems trendy.
Leo - A nice, all-around name; a good choice a not as monotonous as other classics.

Levi - Very good; but maybe too much jean associations?
Milo - Reminds me of a childhood movie, Milo & Otis (so Milo makes me think cat)
Otto - I like : ) It was my great-grandfather’s name too, William Otto.

Tate - I like it
Tobin - Not my style. It reminds me of Toby, which I don’t like.

Broken into groups for easier reading : ) I think you have a nice list.

[name_m]Archer[/name_m]- Reminds me of the cartoon? Definitely the best of the occupational names, though.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]- I like this better on a girl, although I’m probably in the minority there.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]- Interesting. I like it.
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]- [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the poet, so I’m all for it.
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]- Part of a car. Sorry.
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]- I like this more than I feel I should. Much cooler spelling than [name_m]Bodie[/name_m]/[name_m]Body[/name_m]
[name_m]Boone[/name_m]- [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t feel like a name to me- it might be the sound?
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] it, but prefer it as a nn for [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_f]Ellis[/name_f]- I like it, I don’t love it.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]- A gorgeous name.
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]- Not really my style, but I get the appeal.
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m]- I would dig this as a mn but its probably too adventurous for the fn spot.
[name_u]Grey[/name_u]/[name_m]Greyson[/name_m]- Bad personal association for me, but that doesn’t stop you using it!
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]- I immediately think of [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m], don’t know why.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]- Adorable! Is it too Twilight? I’m not sure.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]- I adore this name! Reminds me of the movie Across The Universe and The Beatles in general.
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]- A bit of a GP of mine, to be honest :stuck_out_tongue:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]- Everybody loves [name_m]Leo[/name_m], right? :slight_smile:
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]- It’s okay.
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]- [name_m]Will[/name_m] always and forever be chocolate milk powder to me. One of the perils of being Australian…
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]- I’m a massive Simpsons geek so all I see is the stoner, bus driver.
[name_u]Tate[/name_u]- I’ve never been a fan of this name, although I did use it for a character once.
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m]- I’ve known several people with this ln so it’s a bit weird for me, but I appreciate it as a new route to [name_u]Toby[/name_u].

I really like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Axel[/name_m]. Good luck!

[name_f]Love[/name_f]:
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]

[name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] “[name_u]Dallas[/name_u]” is my favorite, followed by [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] “[name_u]Dallas[/name_u]”!!!

To be honest, I have reservations about [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] “[name_u]Dallas[/name_u]” even if [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] is a great name on its own.

I like these:

[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]

Names I love and would choose myself:
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

Names I wouldn’t use myself but would be thrilled to see someone else use:
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Tate[/name_u]

Not keen on [name_m]Boone[/name_m] but the rest I don’t have a strong opinion about. Great list!
