Help me find perfect boys names/ combos

Boy Names
1

I find boys names really hard, and was hoping some of my berry friends could give me some help.

At the moment I’m thinking of following the same pattern as my favourite girl names. So…

[b]First Name - Traditional ([name_m]Christian[/name_m]?)
Middle Name - Meaningful or Mythological
Second Middle - Irish

random example: [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Rex[/name_u] [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]
[/b]
But it doesn’t have to be like this!

Names I like at the moment (for ideas):
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_m]Cillian[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]

My favourite combos for girls are

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] - Meaning: Graceful, Gentle, Beautiful, [name_f]Precious[/name_f] [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] honours DH’s Great-Aunt.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] in respect of the [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] which has poignant meaning in my family.
[name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] reflects DH’s Irish heritage.

[name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] - Meaning: Pure, Radiant, Lustrous, [name_u]Bright[/name_u], Shining Sea.
[name_f]Katharine[/name_f] honours my Step-Mother [name_f]Kate[/name_f].
[name_f]Marilla[/name_f] references the Sea, which has relevance in my family as my ancestors were deep sea fishermen.
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] for DH’s Irish heritage- and incidentally [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] is the daughter of the God of the Irish Sea.

Thanks @sorceress, I love these. DH likes ‘straightforward’ names. I love [name_m]Cael[/name_m], haven’t come across this yet. I wondering whether I can sway him with the Irish Warrior link :slight_smile:

My Dd is [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]:slight_smile:

My faves for irish boys names are [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m], [name_m]Eoin[/name_m], [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], [name_m]Fergus[/name_m], [name_m]Oisin[/name_m], and [name_u]Riley[/name_u].

I will think on combos.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about… [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]?

I’m thinking:
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] - Traditional, strong, kingly, masculine name.
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] - Warrior, bear, lord-of-the-rings (sort of) name.
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] - Patron saint of [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] :slight_smile:
