Lately I’ve been feeling quite bored with my tried-and-true list. For the most part, my list really hasn’t changed all that much for the past 3 or so years. There have been a couple additions, but nothing too extreme, and my favorites generally stay the same. I’m not sure how many I’ll be getting rid of (they’re tried-and-true, after all, and I’m nothing if not a creature of habit!), but I miss not having a new crush every week (or a new favorite every day!). I’m open to anything and everything you think might interest me. Suggestions? Thoughts?
I’m in the same situation as you, and just posted pretty much the same thing. I don’t have anything new or excited to add to your list but just wanted to let you know I’m right there with you!
Names that I find stylistically similar to your boys list are
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], nn [name_m]Zeke[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennet[/name_m]
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] any of these appeal to you?
I like putting together “guess lists” for my expectant friends. It’s a game I play, trying to guess what they’ll name the baby. Currently I have a list for the soon-to-debut baby brother of 1-year-old [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and when I read your thread I thought of it:
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] (already on your list; maybe this was why I thought of you)
[name_m]Gareth[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]/[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] (These last two are the names of the baby’s grandfathers. Since [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]'s middle is after his dad, I thought they might choose one or both of these for the new baby.)
Best wishes! I need to revamp my Top Ten, too. I don’t know if you’d be interested in my most recent crushes; they’re pretty out-there and will probably remain guilty pleasures: Matinicus, [name_m]Leviticus[/name_m] (wouldn’t [name_m]Matt[/name_m] and [name_m]Levi[/name_m] make awesome fictional twins??), [name_m]Septimus[/name_m] and Esher.
Thanks, ladies! I’m really loving (not sure about as a FN or a MN, though…):
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] (although I’m not sure about using it–I don’t really care for [name_m]Barney[/name_m] for a little boy, or anyone in general!)
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
And [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], which has been mentioned a couple times, is already in consideration for being re-added to my list–I’m currently really liking [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] as a combo (possibly [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]).
I’ve been considering [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] on my own, as well…
Really glad to hear that [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] might be being added to the list, and [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] is lovely with it (as I think I’ve said before, I seem to remember typing something of the kind!). What about:
@ciottolo - I was actually just thinking about [name_m]Declan[/name_m] today! It was on my list for a short while (I had tossed around [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], I think?), but the last time I tried downsizing my list [name_m]Declan[/name_m] got dropped. I really love the sensitive-and-kind gentlemanly air it has about it, and I can maybe even see me with a [name_m]Declan[/name_m], but sometimes I think I just don’t love it as much as the others on my list? I’ll let it ruminate, because I really do love it! It’s so sweet, and I love the rumored meaning, “full of goodness”.
I also like the [name_u]Grady[/name_u]/[name_m]Graham[/name_m] suggestions… I love [name_u]Gray[/name_u] as a nn, in honor of my grandmother (whose mn is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]), but [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] has always seemed too trendy for my other favorites? But I’ve never found anything I like as much. I’m still not sure about [name_u]Grady[/name_u] or [name_m]Graham[/name_m], but we’ll see. I had been thinking about [name_m]Grant[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gray[/name_u], but I feel like that’s a pretty big stretch. Like, why not just call him [name_m]Grant[/name_m]? Or why not just name him [name_u]Gray[/name_u]? idk. We’ll see, I suppose.
I’m also thinking about [name_u]Harper[/name_u], maybe. With my love of occupation names, and unisex names, I feel like, why not [name_u]Harper[/name_u], too? I already have [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_u]Bailey[/name_u]… I might as well go all the way.
