Help me finish my top 10? :)

[mellona]

Hello, lovely Berries! [name_f][/name_f] I hope you all are well!

[name_f][/name_f]

I have been working on creating a list of my top 10 masculine names, but I find myself having quite[name_f][/name_f] the difficult time completing it! [name_f][/name_f] So far, my list consists of the following eight names:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Valemon[/name_m] “Vale”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Arcturus[/name_m] “Art”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Endymion[/name_m] “Ned”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Finvarra[/name_m] “Finch”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Oberon[/name_m] “Obie”
[name_f][/name_f]Berengar “Benny”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ilmarinen[/name_m] “Ilya”
[name_f][/name_f]Konstantine “Kit”

[name_f][/name_f]

I would love to round out my list with two more in a similar style to the aforementioned names! Nothing seems to sing to me, and I feel rather uninspired, so I turn to the naming experts!

[name_f][/name_f]

Repeated initials are welcome, and I accept any and all ideas you may offer, no matter how “out-there” they may be!

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you in advance for any replies I may receive, and I hope you have the most marvelous day! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
