GREY here, with another long list for boys!

[greyer]

For some reason unbeknownst to me, I’m totally unable to sign into nameberry using my old username, which was [name]Grey[/name]. But it’s still me! :o) And I have another long list for you to tear apart!

Boys names have always been harder for me… I used to love [name]Alexander[/name], but a bad association ruined it for me. Also used to love [name]Jack[/name], but the popularity made it go south. Anyway, can you help me narrow down this list? :o) [name]Honesty[/name] is appreciated!

[hollins2007]

Lets see…

[name]Arthur[/name] (really dont like [name]Amos[/name] at all… bad association for me)

Like [name]Basil[/name] (never heard of [name]Bram[/name], before… dont much care for it. I see it has special meaning for you though.)

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Charles[/name]! (Never have liked [name]Colt[/name]… and [name]Cyrus[/name] makes me think [name]Billy[/name] [name]Ray[/name]).

[name]David[/name] is my favorite of the D’s. ([name]Donald[/name], least favorite. I actually have family with both david and donald… but I would never use donald for a family name on my child just because I always scrunch up my nose in disgust when I say it. lol. Not sure why… i cant explain it.)

[name]Elliot[/name] is my favorite E name. Its on my list, too! I also have [name]Ezra[/name] on my list… but for a girl. I am one of the few who feel that name would be lovely on a girl… even though it is classically male. (my least favorite of your E names is [name]Emmett[/name]).

[name]Love[/name] [name]Felix[/name]! (Hate [name]Fritz[/name]!)

Not gonna lie… I really dont like any of your G choices. I guess if I had to pick, I’d say [name]Gideon[/name] was the best one.

I had a grandfather [name]Harmon[/name], so that name has a special place with me… but I also like [name]Henrik[/name]… ive never heard of that before! (don’t care much for heath or hugo)

[name]Jude[/name] is on my boy list too! I think we will probably end up using it as a middle. DH and I both picked it because we love the Beatles song. :o) (dont like [name]Jesse[/name] at all)

I think [name]Kingston[/name] is my favorite of your k’s… ([name]Kenyon[/name] is my least fave.)

I had a cousin named [name]Leif[/name]!!! But I think my favorite of your L’s is [name]Levi[/name] or [name]Leon[/name].

Like [name]Moses[/name]. Dont like any of your other M’s in the least. Sorry.

[name]Oliver[/name] is my all time favorite boys name. Always has been. I am sad that it is getting a bit more popular. I actually like most of your O names… And [name]Oscar[/name] will probably end up being a middle for us as well (honoring a grandfather). Have you considered [name]Orion[/name]? Its on my list too, along with some of your other O’s. - I never really thought about my weird attraction to O names before! lol. (My least favorite of your O’s is probably [name]Otis[/name].)

Dont really like any of your P’s. I would like [name]Patton[/name], except thats our dog’s name. (we named her after the general).

Never been a fan of [name]Quinlan[/name]… or any Q names, for that matter.

Like [name]River[/name] (but I see it more as a girl name now). Also like [name]Reid[/name]. (Dont really like [name]Remington[/name] - though I love the nn “[name]Remy[/name]”-, [name]Rupert[/name] or [name]Ryder[/name] at all)

[name]Love[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]. (HATE [name]Scott[/name] and [name]Shane[/name].)

Dont like any of your T’s. [name]Tanner[/name] reminds me of Full House, and I have bad associations with [name]Travis[/name] and [name]Tucker[/name]. And [name]Tobias[/name] reminds me of the weird uncle on Arrested Development. lol. Have you thought of [name]Theodore[/name] nn [name]Theo[/name]?

[name]Ulrich[/name] gets a “no” vote from me.

I like [name]West[/name] as a middle.

So, to sum up…

My faves are [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Basil[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]David[/name], [name]Elliot[/name]/[name]Ezra[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Harmon[/name]/[name]Henrik[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Kingston[/name], [name]Levi[/name]/[name]Leon[/name], [name]Moses[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] (and most of your other O’s… and possibly add [name]Orion[/name]), [name]Reid[/name] (might also work better as a middle now that I am thinking about it), Sebastion/[name]Simon[/name], ([name]Theo[/name]?), and [name]West[/name] (as a middle).

[erinrenee]

You have a very interesting list. I would be interested to know your last name, it may change my list a little. There are several short names that would get a middle name spot if your last name is also short. Here is what I like…and don’t like.

I like [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Axel[/name]. Not so much [name]Adrian[/name], I know a lot of female Adriannes or [name]Arlo[/name], it sounds like a nn to me.
I do like [name]Basil[/name], but may depend where your from if it will get mispronounced (or if it will bother you to correct.)
I prefer [name]Colton[/name] to [name]Colt[/name] and [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Cyrus[/name] and [name]Casper[/name]. I also really like [name]Cash[/name], but probably as a mn. I don’t like [name]Clemente[/name] or [name]Clifford[/name].
Of you “D” list I like [name]Donavan[/name] the most, I am not on the [name]Dashiell[/name] bandwagon yet.
I really like [name]Ephraim[/name] and [name]Elliott[/name] but not so much [name]Edmond[/name].
I find [name]Franklin[/name] very handsom but much prefer [name]Redford[/name] to [name]Ford[/name], and [name]Fritz[/name] is to nn-y for my taste.
Of you “G” list I only like Grayer and [name]Gunner[/name] for the mn spots.
I like [name]Hugo[/name] but no [name]Harold[/name].
I like [name]Jonah[/name], but I struggle with [name]Jericho[/name] as a name and [name]Jethro[/name] just isn’t my style.
I like [name]Killian[/name] and Kingtson they are both very strong manly names. I don’t really care for [name]Kent[/name] and [name]Kit[/name] has a really bad association for me.
I like [name]Luther[/name] and [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Levi[/name], [name]Lyndon[/name] sounds like a girl’s name to me…maybe [name]London[/name] instead. And [name]Leo[/name] is too short for a first name.
I like [name]Milo[/name], have you considered [name]Miles[/name]? I don’t like [name]Mortimer[/name].
I really like [name]Orson[/name]. I think it is a really cute name that would age well. A nn could be [name]Ori[/name].
I like [name]Pierce[/name], but not [name]Prosper[/name]. I don’t like adjectives as names (I don’t like [name]Truly[/name] or [name]Sunshine[/name] either)
[name]Redford[/name] is another really handsome name in my book. I do think of [name]Robert[/name] [name]Redford[/name], but I always thought he was so cute. I also like [name]Ramsay[/name], this is a very playful name, has a little bit of spunk. I don’t like [name]Robin[/name] for a boy.
I adore [name]Silas[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]. I knew one of each in college and they were both really great guys. [name]Sinclair[/name] just makes me think of green dinosaurs and I don’t like [name]Sage[/name].
[name]Tobias[/name] is really cute, though kinda trendy and my husband really likes [name]Tucker[/name] (and I have no clue why.)
Not [name]Ulrich[/name], not a first name in my book.
If you can go [name]Wolfgang[/name] do it, I think it’s a great name. I like [name]Wilder[/name], but maybe in the mn spot, and I wouldn’t touch [name]Wycliffe[/name]. All I think of is [name]Shakira[/name] and [name]Wycliffe[/name] [name]Jean[/name]!

So here are a few combos for ya…

[name]Redford[/name] [name]Axel[/name]
[name]Orson[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Ephriam[/name] [name]Cash[/name]
[name]Franklin[/name] [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Franklin[/name] [name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Booth[/name]
[name]Cyrus[/name] Grayer
[name]Ramsy[/name] Grayer
[name]Tobias[/name] [name]Wolfgang[/name]
[name]Kingston[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]Bram[/name]
[name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Killian[/name] [name]West[/name]
[name]Casper[/name] [name]Basil[/name]

Good luck, you have a long list to narrow down!
