We are expecting our first baby in [name]March[/name], and while I have no actual idea what it is yet, I feel like it’s a boy for some reason.
Boy names have proven very challenging thus far. The current (long) list follows.
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Bennet[/name]
[name]Carter[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Greyson[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Lysander[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]
Names that have already been crossed off are [name]Baxter[/name], [name]Colin[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Grover[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Theo[/name], and [name]Toby[/name].
I would love opinions and any suggestions. Thanks in advance!
From your list, I really like [name]Bennet[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name]. Others that I really like are:
[name]Clancy[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]August[/name] ([name]Gus[/name] for short)
[name]Edward[/name] ([name]Ed[/name])
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Richard[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Neil[/name]
[name]Emery[/name]
I know some of those sound feminine or dated, but those are just a few that I really like!
I think [name]Walter[/name] [name]Samson[/name] would make a good combo the gentle [name]Walter[/name] goes well with the strong [name]Samson[/name].
[name]Jack[/name] [name]Harrison[/name] would be a classic combo. [name]Jack[/name] is liked universally a good choice. If you like [name]Harrison[/name] you may like [name]Harry[/name] and I think that either [name]Harry[/name] [name]James[/name] or [name]Harry[/name] [name]Jensen[/name] make good combos.
[name]Julian[/name] [name]Elliott[/name] has a great flair to it I think it sounds very distinguished and handsome and the nn of [name]Jules[/name] is divine!
[name]How[/name] can you go past [name]Alexander[/name]? He is in the top 5 names imo. For an edgy combo you may like [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Ezra[/name]. Please don’t throw out [name]Miles[/name] he is brilliant and the combo of [name]Miles[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is perfect.
I love [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Carter[/name], [name]Clark[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Graham[/name], [name]Greyson[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Julian[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Sullivan[/name]!!!
Great list! I don’t think you could really go wrong with any of these.
Can I suggest [name]Liam[/name]?
[name]Alexander[/name] - This is a classic name that has never appealed to me. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just not for me.
[name]Archer[/name] - Starting to grow on me, but I don’t think I would ever use it.
[name]Bennet[/name] - I know a girl named [name]Bennet[/name]…also I think of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name]'s [name]Bennet[/name] sisters from P&P.
[name]Carter[/name] - Fine name, just not for me.
[name]Clark[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]Dexter[/name] - Quirky name, but I wouldn’t use it.
[name]Elliot[/name] - The syllables are too soft for my taste, but the name itself doesn’t bug me.
[name]Ezra[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]Graham[/name] - [name]Graham[/name] cracker is all I think of.
[name]Greyson[/name] - This is cute, it could grow on me.
[name]Harrison[/name] - Like it! Reminds me of [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Ford[/name]/[name]Indiana[/name] [name]Jones[/name]…
[name]Henry[/name] - Not bad, but not amazing either.
[name]Jack[/name] - Like, but wouldn’t use.
[name]Jude[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]Julian[/name] - This name always came across as feminine to me, especially with all the [name]Julia[/name] variants around for the ladies.
[name]Leo[/name] - Like; short and to the point. Strong name too.
[name]Lysander[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Milo[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like. Always seemed like a dog’s name to me.
[name]Samson[/name] - Underused Biblical name. It’s nice.
[name]Sullivan[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]Walter[/name] - Alright, but a little too old fashioned for me.
[name]Wyatt[/name] - Nice sound, but don’t like the way it looks typed out.
[name]Alexander[/name] - keep. Classic with lots of nickname options.
[name]Archer[/name] - keep. You clearly like surname names and I really like this one.
[name]Bennet[/name] - keep, but spell with two T’s, it’s more standard. You like surnames and this one has good nickname [name]Ben[/name].
[name]Carter[/name] - cut. You have better surnames and I just find this one is getting lots of girl use and it rhymes with farter :/.
[name]Clark[/name] - keep. I think this is such a handsome, dashing surname!
[name]Dexter[/name] - cut. You have better surname options, already cut [name]Baxter[/name], it’s nerdy with Poindexter and a serial killer character.
[name]Elliot[/name] - keep. Again I think two t’s is better though. Such a handsome surnamey name.
[name]Ezra[/name] - keep. Dashing Biblical name. Although to be fair I think it kind of sticks out from much of your taste.
[name]Graham[/name] - keep. Wonderful dashing surname name.
[name]Greyson[/name] - cut. While it’s a handsome surname name, it’s trendier than much of your taste.
[name]Harrison[/name] - cut. While it’s a handsome surname name, I don’t think [name]Harry[/name]'s a good nickname.
[name]Henry[/name] - keep. If you’re going to end up with [name]Harry[/name], I think [name]Henry[/name] is a better name for it to come from.
[name]Jack[/name] - cut. This just is too nicknamey.
[name]Jude[/name] - keep. Wonderful dashing name.
[name]Julian[/name] - keep. Similar feelings to [name]Jude[/name].
[name]Leo[/name] - keep. Similar feelings to [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Julian[/name].
[name]Lysander[/name] - cut. Great name but waaaaay too out there.
[name]Milo[/name] - cut. Great name but nicknamey.
[name]Samson[/name] - cut. You have other surname options and the Biblical figure is tragic.
[name]Sullivan[/name] - cut. Handsome surname but feels kind of feminine in use and makes me think of Sullen.
[name]Walter[/name] - cut. Handsome old man name, but your taste doesn’t run all that old man.
[name]Wyatt[/name] - keep. Very handsome surname name.
I really don’t think there’s a truly bad name here! [name]Even[/name] the ones I recommend cutting, it’s just because you want your list shorter. Nothing here is really truly ill-advised. Make your own decisions obviously, but there are my 2c : D.
