🩵 help emeraldsea & co. with our boy list!

[emeraldsea]

hi friends!

lately, i’ve been having a really hard time imagining my little man as anything other than [name_m]Rivers[/name_m] (our boy in heaven) and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] (a name we’ve always adored for an Earthside son). as a namenerd, and someone who does hope to have more than a couple siblings for my daughter someday, this just won’t do, haha!

i thought i could open it up to you all to just suggest a handful of names for a little man that you think my husband and i might enjoy. lately, i’ve been playing with [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m] and [name_m]Augustine[/name_m], [name_f]Brave[/name_f], [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_m]Kit[/name_m] or [name_m]Kitt[/name_m], [name_m]Oakley[/name_m], [name_m]Worth[/name_m], [name_m]Campion[/name_m] and [name_m]Camp[/name_m], [name_m]Acre[/name_m], [name_m]Zimri[/name_m], and [name_m]Trail[/name_m]. i also adore [name_m]Becket[/name_m] (for St. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Becket[/name_m]) but my husband won’t go for it, lol.

and if this makes sense, looking for a vibe sort of like this…

[Demoiselle]

I am not entirely sure if I captured the feeling you are going for, but the names you listed make me think of…

[name_m]Vale[/name_m]
[name_m]Soli[/name_m] (a little bit of [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], and a little bit of [name_m]Zimri[/name_m])
[name_m]Haven[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Ames[/name_m]
[name_m]Zebedee[/name_m]
[name_m]Cedar[/name_m]
[name_m]Willoughby[/name_m]
[name_m]Finch[/name_m]
[name_m]Beck[/name_m] (as an alternative to [name_m]Becket[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Asa[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvest[/name_m]
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
My apologies for not being very helpful! I am sure the next posters will make up for my lack of inspiration.

[VEL]

My top suggestions for you!

[name_m]Alder[/name_m] → A tree name, but much less expected than [name_m]Oakley[/name_m] or [name_m]Rowan[/name_m].

[name_m]Cairn[/name_m] → A pile of stones used as a trail marker. Very outdoorsy and quietly meaningful.

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] → Literally gives me pilgrimage + wilderness + saints + birds of prey. It is unusual, but established and deeply wearable to me.

[name_m]Hollis[/name_m] → Old-fashioned, woodsy, and grounded. [name_m]Less[/name_m] obvious than [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] but very compatible.

[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] → Probably my favorite of the wordier options for you. Nature-based without feeling delicate.

[name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m] → A tree, an old surname, and somehow feels exactly like your emoji lineup!

[name_m]Cedar[/name_m] → Warm, grounded, biblical-adjacent, and quietly outdoorsy.

[name_m]Calder[/name_m] → A rugged landscape feeling without being a literal noun name.

[name_m]Bramble[/name_m] → Possibly edging further into guilty-pleasure territory, but [name_m]Bram[/name_m] makes it extremely wearable.

[name_m]Tor[/name_m] → A rocky hill or peak. Short, ancient-feeling, and very mountainy.

I’ll also throw in [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m], [name_m]Grove[/name_m], [name_m]West[/name_m], [name_m]Wells[/name_m], [name_m]Anselm[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m], [name_m]Oren[/name_m], [name_m]Morrow[/name_m], and [name_m]Hart[/name_m] as dark-horse candidates!

I’ve gotten to the point where I have no idea what our future children will be named. We’ve made lists & then when he/she gets here, each child blatantly chooses their own name. We didn’t even have Sol0m0n on our list when he was born lol. It just belonged to him That being said, it’s always fun to come up with new names to consider! Based off your gorgeous list (& trying not to repeat previous ideas that I’ve said over & over lol) I’ll suggest…

sorry for any repeats! I was going for a bohemian/nature type vibe with maybe a bit of a biblical curve

[name_m]Bear[/name_m]
[name_m]Everest[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Bellamy[/name_m]
[name_m]Winslow[/name_m]

[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_m]Able[/name_m]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f]Sage[/name_f] / [name_f]Saige[/name_f]
[name_m]Hershel[/name_m] (not sure why but I think it fits your vibe?)
[name_f]Eden[/name_f] (i just really like this for a boy)
[name_m]Alder[/name_m]
[name_m]Argo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] (could work with nn [name_m]Kit[/name_m] too)
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Blaise[/name_m]
[name_m]Finch[/name_m]

[name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] / [name_m]Zephyrus[/name_m]

[ashthedreamer]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m], [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], [name_m]Oakley[/name_m], [name_f]Campion[/name_f] (!!!), and [name_m]Zimri[/name_m] for you! [name_m]Trail[/name_m] isn’t my favorite but he feels so you that I have to speak in his favor.

Becket(t) is one I wish I loved but can’t seem to get into - would he accept another [name_m]Beck[/name_m] name? I’ve been loving the idea of [name_m]Beck[/name_m] for a little boy lately! I love just [name_m]Beck[/name_m] for you, or even maybe [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] or [name_m]Brecken[/name_m]?

Here’s some others that I could see one day becoming very you:

• [name_m]Amias[/name_m] (always and forever lol)
• [name_m]Vale[/name_m]
• [name_m]Antioch[/name_m]
• [name_m]Bridger[/name_m]
• [name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m]
• [name_m]Abram[/name_m] (has that vintage feeling you love sometimes, the legacy of [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] waiting for [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] seems very fitting for your family’s journey, [name_m]Abe[/name_m] or [name_m]Bram[/name_m] feels so delightfully you!)
• [name_m]Judah[/name_m]
• [name_m]Cedar[/name_m]
• [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
• [name_m]Gilead[/name_m] (I know the bad associations with this now, but I am SUCH a sucker for the “Balm in Gilead” association with this name)
• [name_m]Lennox[/name_m]
• [name_f]Shenandoah[/name_f] (though if he doesn’t go for [name_m]Becket[/name_m] I’m not sure this has any shot LOL)
• [name_m]Grover[/name_m]
• [name_m]Scout[/name_m]
• [name_m]Rafe[/name_m]

Good luck!
