Hello and [name_u]Happy[/name_u] [name_u]New[/name_u] Year’s [name_u]Day[/name_u]!
So I was just reading an “old” post
that I had made awhile back that
pertained to the subject of finding great
alternatives to the top ten girls names
in the USA. This time I shall pose a challenge
to anyone reading this post to find other
alternatives to the currently top ten boy
names of the USA. Have a great time with
your thoughts and recommendations as you
post your own list to each of the aforementioned
top ten. Enjoy and have fun!

What wonderful selections that are,
in all cases, different. I personally
like Toliver for some reason or
another. Your selections are
uniquely bold but beautiful!
Thank you and have a happy 2023!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] and thanks for participating!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites would include [name_u]Noam[/name_u]
because I know someone who has
an adorable two year old son who
goes by that name. And [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]
is so uniquely vintage that it certainly
does not hurt to give it a shot in the
naming department! Congratulations
and thanks for participating! Have a
wonderful start to a new year!

Oh my gosh that is so creative and
wonderful! I just adore [name_u]November[/name_u]
for a son. It breaks the conventional
mold and harkens to images
of crackling fire places, family
gatherings and yummy feasts
for all to enjoy! [name_m]Isadore[/name_m] and
[name_m]Bertram[/name_m] are uniquely vintage
without having the extra burden of
seeming overused by parents
or naming fans everywhere.
Thank you so much and have
a happy and prosperous 2023!

This list, right here, is my primary
reason for posting a challenge on
this forum. Not only have you included
names from familiar cultures but you
have wonderfully included the esoteric
variety as well. For instance, I love [name_m]Osiris[/name_m]
and its Egyptian association. [name_u]Lotus[/name_u] really
captures the floral attraction for boy names
in my humble opinion. Others include [name_m]Leofric[/name_m]
and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] along with others on your list. Great
job and have a great new start to the year 2023!
