Get me excited about boy names again. 😅

[CMV2254]

If our next child is another boy, I feel like we will inevitably be “settling” on whatever their name is because nothing feels “right” on my boy list. I’ve copied and pasted a slew of names from my long list right now. There were more that have been either vetoed or crossed off for various reasons. Some of these remaining ones are my “a little out there but there’s something I like about them” guilty pleasures. Some are names my husband has said no to at first glance but I want to repitch them in the future and let him marinade with them for a bit.

[name_f][/name_f]

I keep coming back to [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m], [name_m]Elmer[/name_m], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_m]Grover[/name_m], [name_m]Clifford[/name_m], [name_m]Ferris[/name_m], [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_m]Gus[/name_m], [name_m]Clark[/name_m], [name_m]Rudy[/name_m], [name_m]Murray[/name_m], and [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]. A LOT of those happen to have very strong character associations, though. And the ones that don’t, I’m not sure I can picture calling them out at the playground in real life.

[name_f][/name_f]

I love clunky-cute names; names that are a little offbeat but still a real name (usually, I have some exceptions); a little unexpected without looking too try-hard and is still wearable, not overly fussy or tiring to use in real life. Names that feel warm and cozy yet strong and sturdy.

[name_f][/name_f]

Help me feel excited about boy names again, please! [name_f][/name_f] Are there any here you think are usable and not horrendous? Any I should absolutely cross off forever? Any fresh ideas?

I really like these ones:

Wilbur
Ernest/Earnest
Rudy
Rupert
Gus
Augustine
Ferris
Clark
Murray
Rigby
Edwin
Clement
Otto
Floyd
Dean
Merritt
Whittaker
Roscoe
Ross
Barnaby
Edison
Silvan
Tobias
Rory
Silvan
Tobin
Conrad
Ansel
Ned
Glenn
Oswin
Lyle
Franklin
Rafferty
Dawes
Beck
Ronnie
Stellan
Ray
Robbie
Monty

If it helps, ones I've met in real life:

A range of ages - but I’ll star (*) the ones I’ve met younger people with:

Rupert ()
Webster
Gus ()
Augustine ()
Pierce ()
Monty ()
Vernon
Edwin ()
Clement () nn Clem
Phillip ()
Melvin
Otto ()
Dean
Roscoe()
Ross ()
Barnaby ()
Tobias ()
Rory ()
Ned ()
Peter
Glenn
Douglas
Franklin ()
Gilbert () nn Gil
Rafferty ()
Ronnie ()
Ray ()
Robbie (*)
Smith

I'd cut:

Pace - I find it a bit incomplete
Pierce - a bit harsh
Doyle - has a slightly unpleasant sound imo
Dutch - I find it a bit weird, like calling a baby American - maybe as a nn?
Miers - Meyers looks more appealing
Kipper - I feel like it would be hard to wear
Hardy - see above
Pike - see above - but also sounds close to a slur where I am
Rodney - I know it’s awful but my brain goes to ‘Rodney Rat’

I'd add:

Alden
Kaspar
Willem
Laszlo
Augustus
Wilmot
Victor
Vincent
Sylvester
Malachy
Edmund
Osborn
Gauis ‘Gus’
Kent
Talcott
Davis

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Edwin[/name_m] (I know one in his 20s who seems to wear it perfectly well)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Clement[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Finch[/name_m] (I think with how popular [name_m]Finn[/name_m] is, [name_m]Finch[/name_m] can work too!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Zeb[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Oswin[/name_m] (love)

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Robbie[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

So most of them are easily wearable I think! But out of all of them, my favourites are [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Beck[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Lief[/name_m], [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], [name_m]Lyle[/name_m], [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], [name_m]Finch[/name_m], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], [name_m]Tobin[/name_m], [name_m]Silvan[/name_m], [name_m]Roscoe[/name_m], [name_m]Edison[/name_m], [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Ferris[/name_m]! I think they still have that cosy clunky-cute feel, but there’s also a subtle on-trend coolness to them!

[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Fischer[/name_m]?

I’d lovingly call your style “old man names”. Very cute and sweet ideas. Lots of good stuff there.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Add[/name_m]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Judson[/name_m] “Jud”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] “Tad” or “Thad”

[CMV2254]

[name_m]Ronnie[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_m]Oberon[/name_m] is sweet! Lots of others you listed that I love as well, thank you.

[CMV2254]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Alden[/name_m], [name_m]Kaspar[/name_m], [name_m]Willem[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m], [name_m]Malachy[/name_m] (this was sooo close to being our second’s middle name haha), [name_m]Kent[/name_m], Talcot is interesting, and [name_m]Davis[/name_m].

[CMV2254]

Loveeeee [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but there is a town with the name near us that has a horrible horrible reputation and my husband refuses to use it for that reason. Loads of other great suggestions, thank you!
