@Lily_Grace - [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Theophilus[/name_m], [name_m]Simeon[/name_m], and [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] are so me! Too bad [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], and the [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_u]Theophile[/name_u] are already on my list lol. I’ve added [name_u]Porter[/name_u] back to my list of considerations! I love him, and had had [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] on my list a while back, but he was pretty short-lived. Maybe he deserves a second chance. 
@Greyblue - Thank you, love! I actually just took [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] off my list–I love the idea of him, but I can’t really see me with a [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]? I LOVE the nn [name_m]Barnes[/name_m] but it almost seems like I love our mainstream bookstore chain, [name_m]Barnes[/name_m] & [name_u]Noble[/name_u], a bit too much lol. Maybe he’ll stick with time. I have him on the back burner for now. If [name_m]Absalom[/name_m] was a better man, he’d be on my list in a heartbeat… [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] is already on the list (comboless, but I love him!), and I’m considering adding [name_u]Everest[/name_u] as a middle, maybe for [name_m]Reuben[/name_m].
@MichelleM - thanks, love! I actually LOVE [name_m]Avram[/name_m], in a GP sort of way. I actually hate [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] and [name_m]Abram[/name_m], though, so hesitate to add him to my list, but he has lots of feel goods and positive ties due to a cute little [name_m]Avram[/name_m] in a trilogy I just read! I think [name_m]Bram[/name_m]/Ram are cute nns too. I also love [name_m]Eben[/name_m] but am not sure I can see me with one, and LOVE [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], but he would cause so many problems due to my faith (it is a very long story lol), so I feel like he’s the one taboo boys’ name I adore, le sigh. [name_m]Liev[/name_m] is probably too close to my nephew’s nn (L3v), but it may be time to reconsider [name_m]Noam[/name_m] or [name_u]Noah[/name_u]! I’ve loved both for a very long time. Or maybe [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]? I don’t like [name_m]Thackeray[/name_m] very much but [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] could become a dear love if I let it.
@juliem1912 - thanks, love! [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] and [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] I’ll add as considerations for middles; I do love both a lot, but can’t see me using them up front. Same with [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], which I just noticed!
@popmoss - thanks, love! [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] is already on my list up front, and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] as a middle. I do love [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but have troubles seeing him as a son of mine. Maybe I’ll consider him in the middle–I truly do love the tie to [name_u]Les[/name_u] Mis!
@TeaJay - thanks, love–I’ll have to take a second look at [name_u]Orion[/name_u]! I love the tie to astronomy. [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] are on my list, already, too.
I’d love any other ideas people have!
Thanks again, berries!
