[name]Cody[/name] - add me to the group who says “cowboy”. But he’s a dated cowboy, when I hear [name]Cody[/name], I think [name]Kathie[/name] [name]Lee[/name], and her [name]Cody[/name] has got to be at least a teenager by now!
[name]Maddox[/name] - Brangelina. [name]Maddox[/name] always strikes me as 'their name" if that makes any sense. I don’t like the looks of [name]Maddox[/name] either, all I see is mad- ox (and I know there’s an extra d). how about [name]Mannix[/name] as an alternative? [name]Manny[/name]'s a cooler nickname than anything you could get out of [name]Maddox[/name] and feels similar but doesn’t sound copycat-ish. [name]Just[/name] thinking. [name]Gannon[/name]'s another choice that might appeal to you instead. I actually don’t mind [name]Gannon[/name]! And [name]Gannon[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] sounds pretty spiffy.
[name]Milo[/name] - I like [name]Milo[/name]. He’s a bit nicknamey for me (I prefer [name]Miles[/name], nn [name]Milo[/name], myself) but he’s nice, stands well on a child or an adult and definitely feels masculine in that sea of girls you’ve got (that I envy so much)! [name]Milo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] would be my choice, easily. I’m far more traditional a namer.
[name]Cash[/name] - I’m waffly on [name]Cash[/name]. I have [name]Cassius[/name] in my #4 spot, nn [name]Cash[/name] but think [name]Cash[/name] on it’s own is a bit desperate sounding. And [name]Cash[/name] [name]Warren[/name] doesn’t really inspire me much. But I can take him alright. And he does feel a bit cowboyish. And definitely male again, which is a big plus! I just prefer him as a nickname.
Briston - I agree with whomever said “feels try -too-hard” And Briston feels a bit girly too, what with [name]Bristol[/name] [name]Palin[/name] in the news. I’d pass, he makes my nose wrinkle badly.
[name]Jaxon[/name] - makes me think Claxon, which is what EMT/[name]Fire[/name]/Police guys have at home for when they’re on call but don’t have to be at the station. [name]Jackson[/name] makes me think of SG-1 ([name]Daniel[/name] [name]Jackson[/name], yummy!) or [name]Jackson[/name], NJ (where Six Flags is). I’d go with [name]John[/name], Nn [name]Jack[/name], myself (Like Pres. [name]Kennedy[/name]) But of the two, I’d rather [name]Jackson[/name], it looks a bit more polished and less trendy that way. It’ll age better.
Sorry I can’t be a bit more positive. I tried very hard to keep my mind open, your style and mine are literally polar opposites and I’m sure you’d have no fun looking at my lists!
