Gilbert

Boy Names
1

We have our fourth baby on the way and we (me) really live [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]. It just stuck. We (hubby) loves [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m].

I am OCD and it isn’t 7 letters, but [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] is.

Does [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] sound good?

We have a Saphina, [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] for siblings.

Thanks for any feedback xx

Gilbert [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] ([name_f]El[/name_f]-win) sounds adorable I say go for it! However I’m not keen on the spelling and recommend [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] as an alternative or even [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Eldric[/name_m]! That’s just my personal taste though overall [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] goes well with [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] :rofl:

Elwyn to me looks really feminine. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] reminds me of arwen or elowen which is probably why.

I love the suggestion of [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Eldric[/name_m]! Sounds like a king.

Gilbert [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] is so handsome!!! I love it! I don’t think [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] sounds feminine at all. It feels very brave and heroic, maybe like a prince in a fantasy novel :slightly_smiling_face:

Jumping on the opinion that thinks [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] sounds feminine. [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] bears a striking resemblance to [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f]. I’d keep [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] … where so many are choosing [name_m]Albert[/name_m] these days [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] is an awesome refreshing choice. But go for a different middle.

I’m intrigued by the fact that your husband is the one who is suggesting [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] - it’s a very striking choice and it feels so uncommon for men to choose such unique names (especially ones that feel somewhat feminine or at least gender neutral). Is this an honour name?

I love the name [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] and am really happy to see someone choosing it as a first name! I think it goes really well with your other children’s names.

Gilbert [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] sounds great

Yes [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] is his deceased Grandfathers name. [name_m]Hence[/name_m] his love for it.

I’m onboard then! I’m a big supporter of using the middle spot for an honour name :slight_smile:

  • Edwin
  • Elton
  • Elwin

Gilbert is so cute! I do agree that [name_m]Elwyn[/name_m] looks more feminine. I would go with [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] or [name_m]Eldon[/name_m]! [name_m]Eldric[/name_m] is also an interesting suggestion :slight_smile:
