Thank you, everyone! I should’ve thought of this far earlier.
@addyjqy - Thank you! [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] seems a bit trendy for girls right now so I’m not sure how I feel about it, but used to really like it for a boy. I think [name_u]Rome[/name_u] is super cool, though, and might have to give [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_u]Everest[/name_u], and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] some more thought. I’m not a huge just [name_u]Mack[/name_u] fan, but love [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] nn [name_m]Mac[/name_m] for a boy; [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is officially back on my radar. There’s one of each gender in my church, so I’m not sure it’s the wisest idea, but I still love him, lol.
@bgladsjo - Thank you! I’m not a huge sports person although I do love watching both American football and international football/soccer. I always forget about [name_m]Fielding[/name_m], which I absolutely love. Thanks for the reminder!
@Greyblue - thanks, love! [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_u]Mariner[/name_u], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_m]Marius[/name_m], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], [name_u]Corin[/name_u], [name_m]Aubert[/name_m] (my preferred [name_u]French[/name_u] variant of [name_m]Albert[/name_m] haha), [name_m]Breccan[/name_m], [name_u]Grayson[/name_u], [name_m]Truett[/name_m], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Aramis[/name_m], [name_m]Rhydian[/name_m], and [name_u]Noble[/name_u] all deserve a second look. I love [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] and [name_u]Grayson[/name_u] as ways to honor Rebecc@ and Gr@ce; I’ve considered them before. [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] is such a fun literary name, but I absolutely cannot take him serious after [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] Moncrieff.
@tfzolghadr - Thank you! I love [name_m]Eben[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (more for [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] than travel, but still), and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u]. I’ll have to give them more thought. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] was on my list as [name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] at one point, but when I moved on from [name_m]Zane[/name_m] I haven’t had [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] on my list since.
@BronwynParry1 - Thank you! I love [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] but prefer the [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_m]Mathis[/name_m], and prefer [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] over [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. I am considering resurrecting [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] in [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]; I’ve been crushing on him for a while and just haven’t committed quite yet. [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] are also possibilities, although more common than I usually like to use up front for Bible names. [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]/Gavriel is another option, and [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m] reminds me of [name_m]Zephan[/name_m] and [name_m]Zebulun[/name_m], which I’m also loving.
@TeaJay - oh, thank you! SO MANY options lol. I like [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m] (like this more than [name_m]Leandro[/name_m], but the reminder of Portuguese and @BronwynParry1’s suggestion of [name_m]Simon[/name_m] have me thinking about my beloved [name_m]Simão[/name_m] again. I love [name_u]Kostya[/name_u] and [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], too. [name_u]Everest[/name_u], [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] (och, The [name_m]Count[/name_m] of [name_m]Monte[/name_m] Cristo. One of my favorites!), [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_u]Callan[/name_u], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Orson[/name_m], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], [name_u]Orion[/name_u] (I’ve been seriously considering [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m]!), [name_m]Cullen[/name_m], etc., are all maybes.
Orion, [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Aubert[/name_m], and [name_m]Cullen[/name_m]/Callan are my favorites for today, but I have so much to think about. Realistically most of these won’t make the list but I’m hoping that some of them do–I’d love to hear any other ideas you’d suggest! Thank you, berries!
