Help me add to my list

Boy Names
1

So I feel that I have a diverse list of Boys names that I like. I like names that have literary tie ins or names from history. I like it when a name has a past and a story. I don’t like names that are too trendy and I don’t like unique spellings. So here is my list so far
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] the author and the nickname [name_u]True[/name_u] is the best.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]- I love this name for personal reasons but also because of TFIOS, a book that means so much to me. Also the nickname [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is adorable.
[name_m]Grover[/name_m]- I don’t really know why I love this so much but I do. It feels a little preppy and I think it would be awesome on a little boy. Not sure how it would grow with him though.
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]- I just saw this the other day and feel in love. I just love it.
[name_u]Calder[/name_u]- I had a dear friend with this surname and would love to use it in honor of her. Nickname [name_u]Cal[/name_u] is cute.
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]- I feel like this fits with [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] and I love most [name_m]Ben[/name_m] names. I also love [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m], so that’s how I found this name. CUMBERCOLLECTIVE!
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]- I used to listen to [name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_m]Redding[/name_m] with my dad all the time, so this is a name I would love to use. I also watched The Adventures of [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m] hundreds of times as a kid.
[name_m]Archibald[/name_m]- I love the nickname [name_m]Archie[/name_m], and the meaning is brave. It is a little clunky, but that’s partly why I love it so much.
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]- I think that the only reason I love this name is because of the nickname [name_m]Barns[/name_m]. I am an avid reader to Barnse and [name_m]Noble[/name_m].
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]- I just like how spunky it is. I just realized a bunch of names I like are presidential. I know nothing about their politics. I just like that stately feel of their names!

So what could you add to this list. I would love both girl names and boy names recommendations. :slight_smile:

Thank you!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] your suggestions. The ones I would use are:
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]

[name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]? Also do you think [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m] is a useable name? It is growing on me but it seems a little out there.

It is a little out there! Too out there for me, haha. I guess if you had a good nickname for it, like [name_m]Archie[/name_m] for [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] and [name_m]Barns[/name_m] for [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]. Balthy? Zar? [name_m]Baz[/name_m]?

I say [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] ig-nay-shuss and like the idea of the nickname [name_m]Nash[/name_m].
