i hate the way my two absolute favorite names, axel and west, sound with our last name (simpson). also, axel was recently used by a close family member. i’m looking for a similarly strong, unique without being completely bizarre boys’ name.
some others i like but don’t love:
wilder (trying too hard?)
heath (too romance novel hero)
jasper (twilight-ugh-and too popular)
cole (too popular)
bodhi (girl’s name begins with b; don’t want to repeat initials)
sebastian (getting too popular, hate w/ last name)
avery (too femme?)
luca (too femme?)
as you can see i’m super picky- basically i don’t think there’s anything that competes with axel and west! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
I can see how [name]West[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] kinda runs together but i really don’t think it’s that bad, since you love it so much. If you used something similar but longer, like [name]Westin[/name] or [name]Westley[/name], you could avoid that and get the nn west.
other names that came to mind for you
[name]Clay[/name]
[name]Wade[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Cade[/name]
[name]Gage[/name]
I’m not sure that I agree that [name]Axel[/name] and [name]West[/name] don’t really go well with your surname. I think [name]West[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] has a nice ring to it, actually.
I agree with the pp, I don’t think that [name]West[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] is that bad and it seems like its the name you really want. But here are a few more suggestions for you…
If you watched the world cup this year, you may have noticed [name]Wesley[/name] Sneijder of the dutch team. Shortened to [name]Wes[/name]-it almost sounds like [name]West[/name]- good luck!
I think I like [name]Weston[/name] a lot better and you can have a nickname for him of [name]Wes[/name] or [name]West[/name]. I think if it was just [name]West[/name]…full name [name]West[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]…it would seem like he was always giving out directions when he would say his name. (ex: I live on [name]West[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]) That could just be how I see it. I know someone named [name]Wesley[/name] and [name]Weston[/name]…I like both full names and both of them actually go by [name]Wes[/name] most of the time. It gives a choice of what you/he would want to go by as he gets older.
I love a lot of your names that you like! The first name that comes to mind is [name]Oliver[/name]… I think [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] sounds great! I don’t know if it is too popular for you though.
Other names I think would work with [name]Simpson[/name]:
[name]Oscar[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]

[name]Edgar[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Trey[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]River[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Harley[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
[name]Beau[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]
