Please help me narrow down my list. What are your favourite names? What names would you avoid? What is your opinions on these names? Open to suggestions :). Thank you!
I have learnt from my second oldest to think about spellings, bless him he gets all kinds of variations! I wonder how much of his life he will spend correcting the spellings? Sorry little man…
I think maybe Flynnigan;[name_u]Everett[/name_u]; [name_m]Albie[/name_m]; [name_u]Bertie[/name_u]; [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] might also have the same effect.
Completely depends on what you value though. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my learning experience shared!
Loving: [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], and [name_m]Zander[/name_m]
Like: [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are ok. I like [name_m]Terrance[/name_m] spelled this way.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you want more familiar or more uncommon, oftentimes people are looking for something in between, so consider weeding out the most common and most “out there” options from your list if this is the case.
Are you religious/don’t mind religious associations woth your child’s name? The answer to this may keep or eliminate names like [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
For the names on your list that are commonly nicknames, is this the name you woukd want on the birth certificate or would you want it to be a nn? (Examples [name_m]Albin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Albie[/name_m], [name_m]Bertram[/name_m] nn [name_u]Bertie[/name_u].) Try imagining official documents with [name_m]Albie[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], or [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] on them and see how you feel.
And finally, are there and middle names you are considering? Are there names on this list you would out in the middle spot? Are their names here that you love but maybe kess so when you say them alongside your surname?
In general from your list I really like:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Albie[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
Flynnigan - I’m guessing it’s a smoosh of [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Finnigan[/name_m]? It feels sort of made up
[name_m]Zander[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] never caught onto it
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] - Similar reason to [name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_m]Terence[/name_m] - Feels a little stuffy
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] - Feels dated since I grew up with a lot of [name_m]Zach[/name_m]/[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]'s.
The rest I like but didn’t make the top 5. Good luck!
I commented on the ones I like less/have a suggestion for. The others all seem nice! My favorites are probably [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m].
[name_u]Bertie[/name_u] - makes me think of the jelly beans, or birdie. Sounds a bit feminine.
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - it sounds a bit too romance novel for me
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Albie[/name_m] - it may be nicer to have [name_m]Albie[/name_m] as a nickname, maybe for [name_m]Albin[/name_m]. Sounds a bit more grown up for when he’s older.
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] - again, may be better as a nickname
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximus[/name_m]
Flynnigan - sounds too made up, better for a dog.
[name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Terence[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is currently our first choice! Such a handsome name and to me it’s so versatile, like it could fit a boy with absolutely any personality.
I also like [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Maximus[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].
The rest aren’t really my style.
Thoughts:
[name_u]Bertie[/name_u] - cute
[name_m]Colin[/name_m] - not a huge fan, sounds stuffy to me.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] - same as [name_m]Colin[/name_m].
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - too commonly used now
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] - I prefer [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - don’t like
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] - cat’s name!
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - cute
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] - cute
[name_m]Albie[/name_m] - cute!
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] - super Irish for a boy, would only use if I was Irish.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] - it’s cute, I like nickname [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximus[/name_m] - don’t like, not wearable
Flynnigan - sounds made up
[name_m]Zander[/name_m] - it’s ok
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] - it’s ok
[name_m]Terence[/name_m] - not a fan
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] - cute
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - love!
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] - love
My favs are [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. And [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is sort of standing out to me right now. So classic, charmingly boyish with all its references, and really overlooked in this generation.
Appreciate very much, but not my style

Flynnigan
[name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Terence[/name_m]
