Boy Names

This is the boy version of my previous post like this!

Unfortunately for me, my boy name drought compared to girls really rears its head when it comes to translating my names to French. My realistic boy style leans to English word names or modern “American” names, neither of which translate well. My lists here are significantly smaller than before so if you have ideas for Abby en France boy names, I’d be super excited to see them!

As it stands, I’ve added a third category for you to peruse. Like before, I’d love to hear your first/middle name combos, as well as your brother combos, but I’ll also include my top girl names in case you want to make mixed sibsets! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

prénoms

Aksel, Alessio, Amaury, Apollo, Aurélien, Aurien, Aymeric, Bastien, César, Eden, Elio, Elouan, Enzo, Evren, Ezio, Fabien, Finley, Gabin, Gio, Kehann, Kendji, Kenzo, Koa, Kylian, Louison, Louka, Lounès, Lucien, Malo, Marceau, Matéo, Matisse, Milan, Néo, Nico, Noé, Paz, Rainier, Rémy, Roméo, Rune, Sacha, Thierry, Timéo, Titouan, Torben, Tristan, Ulysse, Viggo, Weston

middles

All of the names above plus:
Achille, Adrien, Amour, Bellamy, Blaise, Camille, Côme, Cyprien, Hadrien, Hercule, Indigo, Janvier, Jules, Léo, Marius, Robin, Sommet, Théotime

For a combo, I’d go with… [name_u]Sacha[/name_u] [name_u]Matisse[/name_u]

Sibsets, I’d go for… [name_m]Elio[/name_m] Aymeric & [name_u]Noé[/name_u] [name_m]Marceau[/name_m]

Adding my girls combo to my new boy one, my girl/boy sibset would be…
Poésie Athénaïs & [name_u]Sacha[/name_u] [name_u]Matisse[/name_u]
(their second names rhyme slightly but I’m ok with that!)
