Boy Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], berries!

For a while now, I’ve been feeling very uninspired by my boys’ list. I’ve always found girls’ names much easier, so I need all the help I can get!

Here’s a list of all the boys’ names I can honestly say I like, ranked:

  1. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
  2. [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
  3. [name_u]James[/name_u]
  4. [name_m]Otto[/name_m]
  5. [name_u]Florian[/name_u]
  6. [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
  7. [name_m]Julian[/name_m]
  8. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
  9. [name_m]David[/name_m]
  10. [name_m]William[/name_m]
  11. [name_m]Leon[/name_m]
  12. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] are the only ones I truly love; the others are all very much up in the air.

What are your opinions on these? Any suggestions for similar names I might like?

I tend to prefer reasonably traditional first names and unexpected middles with a literary, historical, or botanical twist. Any middle name suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! I love the suggestions of [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]! I’d actually forgotten about [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] - I always used to love it, but then I played a computer game with a really annoying [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] in it, and I just went off the name. I think I could learn to love it again, though. [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] would be wonderful - I also love that it honours my Austrian heritage, as I’m from the same area as [name_m]Mozart[/name_m]!
