[river_dweller]

[name_m]Ark[/name_m] is really cool!

[Greyblue]

Another intriguing list!

[name_f]My[/name_f] faves are: [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_f]Gem[/name_f], [name_u]Night[/name_u], Roam, [name_u]Pilot[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Teal[/name_u], [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m] , [name_u]Galaxy[/name_u], [name_m]Loch[/name_m] and [name_m]Anchor[/name_m]!

[AStudyIn_Scarlet]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_u]Kindred[/name_u], [name_u]Midnight[/name_u], [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_f]Sacred[/name_f], Lunar, [name_u]Verse[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Auburn[/name_u], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u] & [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m].

I am surprised to see [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] on a list of boy names. [name_m]Zero[/name_m] sounds cool, but the connotations are negative.

Thanks for posting!

[name_f]My[/name_f] faves: [name_u]December[/name_u], Knightly, [name_u]Kindred[/name_u], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], [name_u]Night[/name_u], Sellers, [name_m]Wit[/name_m], [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_u]Teal[/name_u], Given, [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u], [name_m]Watts[/name_m], [name_u]Hopper[/name_u] & [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m]

I like a few others too, but prefer them for girls.

[persephonescrown]

Ooh! I like [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_f]Gem[/name_f], [name_u]Kindred[/name_u], [name_u]Cerulean[/name_u], [name_u]Horizon[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], and [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m]. I love [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] but prefer it on a girl.

I had a dog named Trek for a little while, after [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek, so that one seems off to me

[Youssarian]

Cinch is… interesting. Not sure I would ever think to use that as a name. Same with [name_m]Truss[/name_m].

Some other thoughts…

Summary

Why would someone want to name their child Rival?!

MAGNUM? Condom jokes galore, poor guys… Same with [name_m]Wood[/name_m]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] jokes galore.

[name_m]Currency[/name_m] and [name_m]Money[/name_m] are like naming your child Chair to me. Like, it’s just a regular noun…

[name_f]Sacred[/name_f] is a little much for me, but given that [name_m]King[/name_m], [name_u]Legend[/name_u], and [name_u]Messiah[/name_u] are trending, I shouldn’t be surprised. Aspirational names like [name_m]Greatness[/name_m], [name_u]Amazing[/name_u], Grand, [name_u]Worthy[/name_u], [name_m]Triumph[/name_m], [name_u]Happy[/name_u], etc. aren’t my style but I can see the appeal. However, [name_f]Sacred[/name_f] is a bit much…

I can’t take someone seriously with the names Bam, [name_m]Crash[/name_m], [name_m]Cub[/name_m], Flex, Dragon, or [name_u]Rooster[/name_u]. I’m sorry.

ROMANCE?! What a lot to live up to…

[name_m]Boomer[/name_m] is… a choice. Especially considering it’s used pejoratively by young people nowadays.

Wraith and [name_m]Omen[/name_m] sound like a 14 year old renaming themselves while going through an emo phase.

Lens is a literal regular word, and it doesn’t even sound that cool. Why are people naming their kids Lens?

Poor kids named [name_m]Zero[/name_m]. That just seems like a recipe for self-esteem issues.

CARTEL?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME LIKE WHY LMAO

Some of these aren’t bad - [name_f]Adore[/name_f], [name_f]Gem[/name_f], [name_u]Hickory[/name_u], [name_u]Kindred[/name_u], Roam, [name_u]Cerulean[/name_u], [name_u]Horizon[/name_u], [name_m]Range[/name_m], [name_u]Spruce[/name_u], Tracer, Chasten, [name_m]Court[/name_m], [name_m]Hall[/name_m], Hasten, [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Auburn[/name_u], [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m], and [name_m]Loch[/name_m] are all pretty nice!
[name_u]Verse[/name_u] and Excel are my wildcards - I would never think of them as names but they sound really cool.

[clair.de.lune]

i adore auburn, harvest, and watts for a boy — so sweet and cozy!

amethyst and midnight are the name goals i could never accomplish love them, too

[readingreverie]

Interesting list!
[name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favorite from this list is [name_u]Happy[/name_u]! I think he’s so sunny and bright I really like [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] and [name_u]Bliss[/name_u], but I think I’d prefer them for a girl. I myself enjoy [name_u]Lark[/name_u] and [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m]! For somebody else, I think [name_u]Midnight[/name_u], [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_u]Horizon[/name_u], Lunar, [name_u]Spruce[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_m]Zero[/name_m], [name_m]Anchor[/name_m], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u], and [name_m]Loch[/name_m] are cool!

[shanade213]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_u]Worthy[/name_u], [name_m]Cub[/name_m], Edge, Given, [name_m]Range[/name_m], [name_u]Verse[/name_u], [name_m]Wit[/name_m], [name_u]Beacon[/name_u], Rooks, [name_m]Tiller[/name_m], [name_u]Teal[/name_u], [name_m]Anchor[/name_m], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u], [name_u]Hopper[/name_u]

[vida]

[Rosebeth]

Very interesting. Some of these are definitely GPs, but my favorites are [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_u]Gift[/name_u], [name_u]Midnight[/name_u], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], [name_m]Truss[/name_m], [name_m]Hill[/name_m], Prime, Romance, [name_m]Wit[/name_m], [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_u]Teal[/name_u], [name_m]Watts[/name_m], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u], [name_u]Galaxy[/name_u], [name_m]Loch[/name_m] & [name_m]Anchor[/name_m]

[Parfait_de_Roses]

Some are shocking… [name_m]Just[/name_m] evil… Some are cool!

I like [name_m]Ark[/name_m], [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_u]Midnight[/name_u], [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_u]Axis[/name_u], [name_u]Horizon[/name_u], [name_u]Cerulean[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Auburn[/name_u], [name_u]Lark[/name_u], Dragon (prefer [name_m]Draco[/name_m] or [name_m]Dragomir[/name_m] million times tho), [name_m]Anchor[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmos[/name_m], [name_u]Galaxy[/name_u]

[NameSearchAccount]

[name_u]Lark[/name_u] is definitely my favorite of these, though I see the appeal of [name_u]Harvest[/name_u]. I also like the Hebrew name [name_u]Shai[/name_u], which sounds the same as [name_u]Shy[/name_u]. [name_u]Shy[/name_u] is a more intuitive way to spell it in [name_f]English[/name_f], but does unfortunately sound like the personality trait.
