I love them all! I personally would remove [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] (it’s very religious/biblical to me, which is fine, but sticks out from the rest) and [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] which I love but only as a middle, I think it’s a bit [name_m]OTT[/name_m] and pretentious!
Sorry I can help narrow much, your list is so gorgeous!
I love your list! My personal favorites are [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. I especially love the spelling of [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]!
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] is one of my favorite names.
I also really like [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] & [name_m]Eli[/name_m] .
I like [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], & [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and am beginning to like [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] even more.
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m], I think is a really cool name but the [name_u]Mal[/name_u] brings to mind the prefix [name_u]Mal[/name_u] meaning "bad’ to me.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m], I’ve started to like.
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] is a cool middle name to me.
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] I like but it has a much stronger religious sound to me than many other biblical names
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] I always hear in my head in E.T.'s voice.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] - sounds very country bumpkin to me - I’m not sure what the connection is though.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]Guthrie[/name_u] to me.
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] - have no strong feelings one way or the other.
Favorites from your list: [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u].
Least favorites: [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and [name_m]Lucien[/name_m].
Are you trying to narrow down your list so its shorter, make it into combos or choose a few names you would feel confident using? It depends on where the child would live if you’re looking for real world feedback I like a lot of your list, so many good options!
I loooove [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]. I also really like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
Overall, love your list! Off the top of my head, here are my thoughts - and these are entirely subjective/biased first impressions, without any context…
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] - love it, and the nickname [name_u]Si[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - like it
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] - too plain/Southern for me (ATM, I live in [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and hear too many people say EEEE-laaaaaaah!)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - like it - it comes across as softer/gentler to me - could be a good thing
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - not a fan and I can’t place why
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m] - [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] this, and [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] as well
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] - too much for me - I can’t imagine someone in the US putting this on a résumé and being taken seriously
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] - ditto to the biblical comment
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] - a little bit Disney villain, though it has the advantage of the nickname [name_m]Mac/name_m
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] - love it
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - too plain/soft for me
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - like it, though a bit hipster
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - ok, not my style
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I just think of the Arrested Development character who, while hilarious, is maybe not a great namesake
Of your list, my favorite by far is [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], though I’d probably spell it [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]. You might also like [name_m]Lucius[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Julius[/name_m], or [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] - they share a number of sounds with the names on your list.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] –*Dig this but will likely rise in popularity due to baby Timberlake.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] – Like this a lot.
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] – Not bad.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] – [name_u]Love[/name_u]. So classic.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] – Feels a little feminine for my taste.
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m] – Meh.
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] – It’s a lot of name for a little kid. Wolfie is a cute nn though.
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] –*Too biblical for my taste.
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] – See [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] – Starting to really dig this.
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] – Becoming slightly unisex.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] – Like, but becoming popular.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] –*Despite its popularity, I have a soft spot for [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] – Like.
I’m trying to narrow things down! I’ve got a long way to go, I just need a shorter list to choose from! The middle name has to be [name_m]Robert[/name_m] so no combos.
I love:
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
I also love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] but [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] is too R heavy for me, especially with them right next to each other.
