• help me love boy names again! •

[hannahwren]

hi berries

there was once a time where i loved boy names, and found creating combos with them came so easily.

now it seems that i only have about 3 boy names i really love for my future son, while i have about 200 girl names i love just as much.

i’m in need of suggestions of names/combos you think I might like!

an idea of my style

i absolutely love older names for boys, that have a british, classic, and quirky vibe. examples: simon, oliver, atticus, and milo

i also like soft names, that have a naturey aspect: rowan, shepherd, wilder and forest for example.

biblical and saint names are lovely and important to me as well. my favorites are: jude, leo, amos, josiah and boaz.

here are some of my favorite middles atm: rafferty, poe, and jack

thank you in advance!
