Help! I need boys names!

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] so many girls names but I just can’t find any boys names that both I like and go with my girls choices. As you can see from my girls names, I tend to like quite long, vintage, traditional names that often have cute nicknames. The only boys names I like that go with my girls names are [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ([name_u]Teddy[/name_u]) and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] ([name_m]Eddy[/name_m]) but my OH has completely ruled them off (plus they don’t go with my top girl name, [name_f]Edith[/name_f] - [name_m]Eddy[/name_m] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is definitely a no go!).

So I’m starting from scratch! From my girls choices, can you come up with any boys names you think I might like? Please think out side of the box, I need options! I do prefer names that aren’t too popular but I’m open to anything right now.

Thanks in advance,
[name_f]Essa[/name_f]

I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! And [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is one of the cutest little boy nicknames around. I’m not sure I’d be willing to give up on that one just yet.

Other names with a similar feel to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m]:

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]

HTH!

With your girl list:

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_u]Royce[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]

Let’s see what I can come up with

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Chester[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Warren[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Archibald[/name_m]
[name_m]Clifford[/name_m]

Some of these might be too short or too retro-vintage, but I think they all have potential and a lot of charm.

with your girls names I like:

[name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] ([name_m]Geoff[/name_m])
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m] ([name_u]Bernie[/name_u])
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] ([name_u]Gus[/name_u])
[name_u]Wallace[/name_u] ([name_u]Wally[/name_u])
[name_u]Sidney[/name_u] ([name_m]Sid[/name_m])
[name_m]Roderick[/name_m] ([name_m]Rod[/name_m])
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] ([name_m]Ozzie[/name_m])
[name_m]Roland[/name_m] ([name_m]Rolly[/name_m])
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]

So far from your suggestions I like:
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] ([name_m]Abe[/name_m])
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_m]Seb[/name_m])
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] ([name_m]Barney[/name_m])
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] ([name_m]Walt[/name_m])
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m] ([name_m]Ernie[/name_m])
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] ([name_m]Albie[/name_m])
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] ([name_u]Freddie[/name_u])

None of these scream out to me but I do like them so they seem to be along the right track. Any more suggestions? I’m open to hearing some really unusual ones.

I thought I’d elaborate on the [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] thing. While I don’t mind the nickname [name_u]Theo[/name_u], it is just really not my style. If a friend was to name their son [name_u]Theo[/name_u] I’d think it was great but I just can’t picture myself with a [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. I do however love [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], unfortunately my husband is all for [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and not [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and neither of us seem to be budging on our nickname. So really, that’s the main reason [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] has been ruled off. It really is a shame since we both like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

I’m exactly the opposite. I love so many boys names and can’t find any girls names I truly love.
[name_m]Jefferson[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Lester[/name_m]
[name_m]Omar[/name_m]
Hezekiah
Franklin
Quentin
Uriah
Chester
Zebedee
Jonas
Peter

Okay, here’s some old-fashioned and more unusual ones:

[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Crispin[/name_m] ([name_m]Kip[/name_m])
[name_u]Florian[/name_u] ([name_m]Fin[/name_m])
Antioch
[name_m]Radcliff[/name_m] ([name_m]Cliff[/name_m])
[name_m]Cadmus[/name_m]
[name_m]Zebulon[/name_m] ([name_m]Zeb[/name_m])
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_m]Lanford[/name_m] ([name_m]Ford[/name_m], [name_u]Lanny[/name_u])
[name_m]Hadrian[/name_m]
Jepson ([name_m]Jep[/name_m])
Briscoe
[name_m]Rudolf[/name_m] ([name_u]Rudy[/name_u])
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]
[name_m]Reginald[/name_m] ([name_u]Reggie[/name_u])
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] ([name_m]Mac[/name_m])
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]
[name_m]Horace[/name_m] ([name_m]Ace[/name_m])
Alberic
[name_m]Cuthbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Hubert[/name_m] ([name_m]Hughie[/name_m])
[name_m]Jarvis[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] ([name_m]Iggie[/name_m])

I agree with a pp, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is one you can’t give up on just yet. Use the adorable nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] if the dropping it is simply because of [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about these:

[name_m]Frederic[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] <3
Alexander
Elliot(t)

Like any?

Ok, I’m liking…

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Chester[/name_m]
[name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m]

They’re great names, I’m particualry find of [name_m]Solomon[/name_m].

Okay, here’s some old-fashioned and more unusual ones:

@kala_way I like the way you think! These are the kind of out of the box names I was hoping for. These are the ones I particualrly like. I don’t think any of them are right for me but
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Florian[/name_u] ([name_m]Fin[/name_m])
[name_m]Radcliff[/name_m] ([name_m]Cliff[/name_m])
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] ([name_m]Mac[/name_m])
[name_m]Hubert[/name_m] ([name_m]Hughie[/name_m])
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] ([name_m]Iggie[/name_m])

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] just isn’t for me. There are so many names I’d choose over [name_u]Theo[/name_u] so there’s no point in me choosing a name I love if he’s just going to get called a nickname that I merely like all the time.
