Help! Only one boy name on the list

General Name Discussion
1

Hello!

So, like many others here I am preemptively creating a baby name list that my partner is also on board with! We only have one boy name that’s been approved by both and that’s a family name [name_m]Anson[/name_m] with the nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f](starwars reference)/ [name_u]Sonny[/name_u].

We have two girl names we love:
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] ([name_u]Wyn[/name_u]/Winnie)
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] ([name_f]Lo[/name_f]/Marley)

I love classic names like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but that’s far too common. I also love gender neutral names or names with gender neutral nicknames i.e., the examples above [name_u]Sonny[/name_u]/Wyn/Lo.

I’d love your help coming up with boy names that would go well with these. It’s not necessarily a theme but it’s a feeling ya know? Old-timey, fairy-tale/elven, could be protagonist in a classic novel etc. Too out there names would not be approved my my partner, but i’ll taking everything you’ve got!

Thanks <3

Isidore or [name_m]Isadore[/name_m] could be similar to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but less common!
