[name_m]Willard[/name_m]

I realise that some of these names may not be to other peoples taste, but thanks in advance for any feedback!
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - a strong and handsome classic
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - one of my favourite names, I love it
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - I’ve never bed a fan of this. I just see the word ‘attic’
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] ([name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is set in stone) - [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is another name I really love. Not fussed on [name_m]Raymond[/name_m], it just feels like an old man’s name to me, but there’s nothing wrong with it
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - I like this
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] - NMS
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - another love!
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - really like this too
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - NMS
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee) - meh
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - I do like [name_u]Noah[/name_u]. It’s popularity is rather annoying though
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] - not a fan
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Roman[/name_m] but prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]!
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - and I love [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]!
[name_m]Willard[/name_m] - NMS
[name_m]William[/name_m] - much better than [name_m]Willard[/name_m]
Seems our style crosses over a lot, with some exceptions of course.
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - I really like this name and a future son will have this as a middle name because it a family name.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - This is one of my favourites and will be a middle name.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of this name at all, I find it a little too posh sounding.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - I like this but I would only ever use it as a middle name.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - I do like this name but it prefer [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] or [name_u]Flynn[/name_u].
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] - I not a fan of this name. I just find it a bit dated and I only now men in there fifties with this name.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - This is on my list but will probably be used as a middle name.
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - I have been thinking about putting this on my list lately but I’m still not sure.
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - I think of this as a dog name. Would be nice in the middle name spot.
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] - I really like this name but I would only use it in the middle spot.
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - [name_f]One[/name_f] of my all time favourites.
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] - I don’t like this at all as it quite tied to the programme [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] and Ferb. It could be a long form for [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] - I do like this name but I prefer [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] but I would only use either in the middle spot.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - Not a fan of this. I like the [name_u]Theo[/name_u] part but not the [name_m]Dore[/name_m] one.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I don’t like this either, it looks like To Bias.
[name_m]Willard[/name_m] - I don’t like this either. It sounds really posh.
[name_m]William[/name_m] - I really like this, it’s a family name so I would use it in the middle spot.
Thanks for the feedback! The reason [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] is in the combo for [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is because it is the name of my grandfather who sadly passed away a couple of years ago and I really wanted to honour him.
I like a lot of your names. Overall as a sibset I think they wouldn’t match, but I like the names.
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - Handsome, and [name_u]Alex[/name_u] is cute
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - Nice as a middle
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - Makes me think of an Attic
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] ([name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is set in stone) - I looovvvve [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - Handsome
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f]! Very handsome sound and look
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I like this a lot. It is a very well-aging name

[name_m]Roman[/name_m] - my cousin’s name It’s pretty cool
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - I love the choice of nicknames! [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Ted[/name_m], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_m]Tad[/name_m], [name_m]Teo[/name_m], [name_u]Terry[/name_u], [name_m]Thad[/name_m], [name_m]Bear[/name_m], Beaver, [name_u]Dory[/name_u], [name_m]Odo[/name_m], etc
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - Not my style at all
[name_m]Willard[/name_m] - kind of awkward sounding, no offence. It makes me think of ducks. (Mallard)
[name_m]William[/name_m] - handsome, and a good royal connotation
Hello [name_f]Maddie[/name_f], welcome!
I will rank each name from 1 to 5, 1 being the worst and 5 - the best mark.
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - handsome, timeless and international. I think of great Russian emperors and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] the Great. /5
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - I love the legends and wonderful knighty feel but I don’t adore the sound of the name itself. /4
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - To Kill A Mockingbird? Or [name_m]Roman[/name_m] Empire? Or just fashion? Strong /4
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] ([name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is set in stone) The name is fine, not my favorite but classy and smart. /3
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - Prefer as a short for for something. /4
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] - not my thing at all, but at least spelled properly. /2
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - lovely but a bit boring due to popularity. /3
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - I am supposed to love it because I am [name_m]Christian[/name_m], but I strangely don’t. The name is nice but not for me. /2
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - interesting name but kind of clunky sound. /4
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee) - adorable, my old favorite. I am glad TRH used it! /5
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - again, superb. Biblical and old but with modern, manly feel. I am not a fan of popular names at all but
I can’t help loving it. /5
[name_m]Phineas[ /name_m] - stunningly vintage and much preferable than just [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. /5
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] - my old love, I am a fan of [name_m]Roman[/name_m] since tween years! /5
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - like but not love. Masculine and strong and though [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/[name_m]Ned[/name_m] is beyond precious, I prefer [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. /4
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - hmm, nice try but not my kind of thing at all. Better than [name_u]Tony[/name_u] though, so /3
[name_m]Willard[/name_m] - I love it for [name_m]Williams[/name_m]'s alternative but alternative can’t beat the original. /4+
[name_m]William[/name_m] - my guilty pleasure along with [name_m]Liam[/name_m]. /5
My favorites are [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] and [name_m]Roman[/name_m]. Neat list, dear [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f].
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - like it. It’s classic, it’s a bit regal, and yet, very wearable and down-to-earth. And I love the varied nns! [name_m]Xander[/name_m], Skandar, [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Sandy[/name_u]/[name_u]Sander[/name_u], [name_m]Alexei[/name_m]… I think they’re all really cool.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - meh. I want to like it, but I don’t, really. I like it more as a MN, though.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]! It’s always on my horizons, but never on my list. I would really, really love to meet a little [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] ([name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is set in stone) - love [name_m]Charles[/name_m]! Would you use the nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]? [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is on my own list.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - it’s nice, but just okay for me. I much prefer [name_u]Flynn[/name_u].
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] - I like it a lot. I can never decide if I like [name_m]Grant[/name_m] or [name_m]Graham[/name_m] more, personally.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - like it, but I never seem to be able to keep it on my list. I like it more for a middle than a first.
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - love! It’s a MN on my own list.
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] - I think it’s very cool, and the nns [name_u]Max[/name_u] or [name_m]Mac[/name_m] would be very awesome, imo.
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee) - och, love [name_m]Louis[/name_m], and I adore the French pronunciation. I wish Americans would pronounce it the proper way.
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - love it a lot. But it’s way overdone here, and it just doesn’t seem special to me anymore. I do like it as a middle, though.
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] - I like it more than just [name_u]Finn[/name_u], but I still like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] more. I do love [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] and [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], though.
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] - I’ve never really seen the appeal of this. It just seems so macho-macho and “grr look at me, I’m a he-man beast!” lol. It seems really pretentious to me, too. I’ve met a [name_m]Roman[/name_m], and he didn’t make the image worse, but he didn’t make it better, either. I just don’t really “get” the appeal. I do like the similar [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], though.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - I like it a lot, but mainly for the nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. I really don’t get the appeal of [name_u]Theo[/name_u], either.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_u]Toby[/name_u], but I don’t care for [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], at all. I much prefer [name_m]Tobin[/name_m] or just [name_u]Toby[/name_u].
[name_m]Willard[/name_m] - erm, not my thing, but it’s not bad, I suppose.
[name_m]William[/name_m] - I like this much better. I don’t really love the nns for it, so I’d use it as a middle, but it is lovely.
