Boy Names

I want your honest opinions on my list so that I can narrow it down a bit. I want to know which ones you love and which ones you hate.

Gryphen
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Kylo[/name_m]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m]
[name_u]Denver[/name_u]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
Lathen
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]

2

I like [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_u]Denver[/name_u], [name_m]Killian[/name_m] and miles the most.

3

My favourites are -

[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]

4

Gryphen - I prefer the simpler [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] or [name_m]Griffen[/name_m].
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - it’s a bit underwhelming.
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] - sounds strong and soft at the same time. I like it.
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] - yes! [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] is very classical and handsome but not so popular right now that it feels played-out. [name_u]Drew[/name_u] is an easy-going nickname but [name_u]Andy[/name_u] is still a good option too.
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m] - I know a dozen Kyles and another dozen Tylers in my friend group, so both names feel dated and overused; [name_m]Kyler[/name_m] just feels like a made-up mash-up of two “just okay” names.
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] - a little nerdy, a little sweet, but I do prefer [name_m]Louis[/name_m] by a hair and think you can use it and get away with pronouncing it the same way as [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] (at least in my neck of the woods, ha).
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - this feels very “cool kid” and insubstantial to me.
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] - I loooved this name as a kid but it feels kind of like the name of a stereotypical Russian movie baddie. Not sure how wearable it is.
[name_m]Adam[/name_m] - a lot like [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] - instantly recognizable and always used but not overly so.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - we might use this as an honor (middle) name but if it wasn’t an honor name on my partner’s side, I’d pass it by. It’s just a little ho-hum.
[name_m]Kylo[/name_m] - is this a name outside of the [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars universe?
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - not for me.
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] - this a very handsome name that can suit any kind of boy. I like Rett ok as a nickname - people seem to think it’s either “cowboy” or “debonair” which is an interesting split.
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] a lot but prefer it without the K. I don’t like [name_u]Nick[/name_u]/[name_u]Nicky[/name_u] at all and would either [name_m]Dom[/name_m] or [name_u]Nico[/name_u] as a nickname.
[name_u]Denver[/name_u] - best as a middle name and only if you have a strong connection to the city.
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] - I like this but feel weird about the world “kill” right there. Maybe [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] (pronounced the same) or [name_u]Kieran[/name_u]/[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] instead?
Lathen - I’m not familiar with this. I like the sound, assuming it’s similar to [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathan[/name_m].
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Grant[/name_m] but can never get onboard with [name_m]Garrett[/name_m], maybe because [name_u]Gary[/name_u] is an inevitable nickname.
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Asher[/name_m] a lot.
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] - [name_m]Miles[/name_m] is nice. You might like [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] and [name_u]Micah[/name_u], too.

I like Gryphen (though I prefer traditional spellings), [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Killian[/name_m], [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], and [name_m]Miles[/name_m].

I dislike [name_m]Kylo[/name_m]. I hate [name_m]Kyler[/name_m] with the fire of a thousand suns.

6

Like:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m]
[name_u]Denver[/name_u]
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]

Dislike:
Gryphen - I would much prefer [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] or [name_m]Gryphon[/name_m]. I feel like this would get misspelled by people.
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style personally
[name_m]Kylo[/name_m] - too [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars, and the character isn’t a positive role model from what I’ve heard. Granted I have not seen the movie, though.
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] - would prefer [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] or [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] spelling. Kill in the name spelled that way is a negative association
Lathen - Not my style, seems like a creative take on [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]

The others I didn’t mention I like, but don’t love.

I’m neutral on:

[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_u]Denver[/name_u]

  1. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] - especially love this spelling

  2. [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]

  3. [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

  4. [name_m]Miles[/name_m]

  5. [name_m]Asher[/name_m]

  6. [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]

  7. [name_m]Killian[/name_m] - I understand why other users prefer [name_m]Cillian[/name_m], but I still think the K spelling looks easier to pronounce

  8. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]

  9. [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

  10. [name_m]Adam[/name_m]

  11. [name_m]Charles[/name_m]

  12. [name_m]Dominick[/name_m]

  13. [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]

  14. [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]

  15. [name_u]Denver[/name_u] - I usually like place names, but this one doesn’t really click for me

  16. [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] - seems very dated, probably because I link it to [name_u]Gary[/name_u]

  17. Gryphen - looks like a misspelling to me, either of [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] (the standard spelling of the name) or [name_m]Gryphon[/name_m] (the mythological creature)

  18. [name_m]Kylo[/name_m]

  19. [name_m]Kyler[/name_m]

  20. Lathen - unless it’s a family name, I wouldn’t use this because it will probably just be confused with [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]

1-7 are my favorites, 8-14 are fine but perhaps a bit boring, and I dislike 15-20.

11

I love [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Killian[/name_m] & [name_m]Adam[/name_m].

Gryphen- I feel very strongly about traditionally spelling. I rather like the name [name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]- too common for me
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]- too common for me
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]- too common for me
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m]- I do not like this.
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]- classic
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]- I like. Very common though
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]- I actually love this name, a lorZ I’m just not [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]'s mom.
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]- very classic
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]- I prefer [name_m]Charleston[/name_m] haha
[name_m]Kylo[/name_m]- def [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]- classic, maybe difficult for a boy to wear nowadays
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]- really common to me- [name_u]Everest[/name_u] is better to me.
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m]- I prefer no k on the end.
[name_u]Denver[/name_u]- a little dog like
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]- I know one, he wears it well. It is a beer.
Lathen- I rather like [name_m]Latham[/name_m]
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]- feels a bit dated to me
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]- very common
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]- I like this.

My favorites are:

[name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]

I also like [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] when it’s spelled traditionally.

19

My favorite is [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]! I love this name, but personally I’d want to see it go a bit more mainstream before I use it (I’m fairly conservative with naming). That said, I’d love to meet a little [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]! This spelling is my favorite variation too.

I also adore [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u].

I really dislike [name_m]Kyler[/name_m] and [name_m]Kylo[/name_m]. They just sound made up and I don’t think it will age well.

20

Names I love:

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Asher[/name_m]'s meaning and I think it’s a handsome name. It’s popular now (#71) but not overly so.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is a cute name, and very handsome. I like that it’s a classic that doesn’t feel dated.

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] - I love the connection to [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Davis[/name_m]. This name feels like a classic with a lot of substance, but not one that has ever been overused.

Names I like:

[name_m]Adam[/name_m] - I wouldn’t personally use it, but it’s a handsome, classic name.

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - Same as [name_m]Adam[/name_m].

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - I love the nickname “[name_u]Charlie[/name_u].” It makes me feel so nostalgic for childhood and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] - This name feels a bit dated to me, but it’s still handsome. I like the nickname “[name_u]Drew[/name_u].”

[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] - [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] has a really appealing, soft sound to it.

[name_u]Everett[/name_u] - [name_u]Everett[/name_u] is a cool name. I think it’s perfect for a more outdoorsy family.

I’m not a huge fan of the others, especially [name_m]Killian[/name_m] –*I really dislike that it has the word “kill” in it.
