Like Love Lose My Long List?

I just did this a few days ago with my girls list and everyone was so helpful!

I am starting to seriously consider my naming style, we aren’t TTC yet but talking about a timeline so I’m getting more in the mindset of figuring out what names I would actually want my child to have.
Note: My kiddo will grow up speaking English and Irish at home but we live in the US.

Whatever name we pick the middle name will almost certainly be Daniel or Douglas, or they’ll have two and be ____ Daniel Douglas or ____ Douglas Daniel

Arlo
Bodhi
Brooks
Caspian nn Cass
Dashiell
Donovan (I love this name but don’t like an of the nn potentials, suggestions?)
Elias (But I don’t like Eli so not sure)
Huck (need a full name I think, I don’t like Huckleberry lol)
Kit (also need a full name maybe, but not opposed to it as it’s own name)
Julian
Leland
Lorcan
Lucian nn Lucky
Malcolm
Oisin
Otto
Rhett
Silas
Soren
Tadgh
Troy
Truett
Wesley
Wilder

You have a great list!

[name_m]Kester[/name_m] is so cool! I really like that idea. Plus [name_m]Hudson[/name_m] nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m] is great, I love the name [name_m]Hudson[/name_m] actually but I work with kids and have a few Hudson’s I’m teaching right now so it doesn’t make my list unfortunately. Same with [name_m]Henry[/name_m], I love it but my nephew is [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and so are like 4 of my students. I’m thinking about [name_m]Huxley[/name_m] though, that’s really cool. Plus I feel like [name_m]Huxley[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] sounds great!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here we go!

Arlo-Like. I almost love it, because I love the nn [name_m]Ari[/name_m].

Bodhi-Lose. It’s just become a little trendy & I don’t love the sound.

Brooks-Lose. Also too trendy for my taste. [name_f]My[/name_f] neighbors (very nice people!) actually said they named their son this because of the golfer.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn Cass-Like. Very cool. I prefer [name_m]Cas[/name_m], since [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] has one ‘s’, but a fun choice none the less. I also like Caspi.

Dashiell-Love!!! Especially the nn [name_m]Dash[/name_m]. So handsome & unique.

[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] (I love this name but don’t like an of the nn potentials, suggestions?)-Meh, lose. I don’t know…I can see the appeal of [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], but also don’t like [name_m]Don[/name_m] or [name_m]Donnie[/name_m]. [name_m]Van[/name_m] is an option.

[name_m]Elias[/name_m] (But I don’t like [name_m]Eli[/name_m] so not sure)-Like. I think it’s a nice name & I do like [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. I’m not sure if [name_m]Eli[/name_m] is unavoidable though if you don’t like it.

[name_m]Huck[/name_m] (need a full name I think, I don’t like [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m] lol)-Like…kind of. I like it in theory more than saying it out loud. If you want something clunky & old fashioned, [name_m]Harold[/name_m] nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m] is kind of cute. Would [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m] work?

[name_m]Kit[/name_m] (also need a full name maybe, but not opposed to it as it’s own name)-Like. I like it on its own or as a nn for [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]. Also, [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], [name_m]Crispin[/name_m] or [name_m]Beckett[/name_m].

Julian-Love!!! One of my long time favorites.

Leland-Lose. Not sure why. This feels like a name I should like.

Lorcan-Lose. Don’t love the sound of this.

[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] nn Lucky-Lose. But it’s not horrible. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style. I like the nn [name_m]Luc[/name_m] or [name_m]Louie[/name_m] more, too.

Malcolm-Like. Very handsome & not over done.

Oisin-Like…even though it’d be tricky if you’re in the U.S.

Otto-Like…getting a little trendy, but cute.

Rhett-Like.

Silas-Love!

Soren-Love!

Tadgh-Like…also tricky in the U.S., but the tiger imagery I get from this is so cool.

Troy-Meh, lose.

Truett-Lose.

Wesley-Like.

Wilder-Like.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] is far and away my favorite—I love him so much! Does [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] need a nn? The ones I’ve known were just [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]? [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite option is [name_m]Danny[/name_m] but I don’t know that I’d use one.

Good luck!

For [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], I don’t think he has to go by a nickname. I can’t imagine most people reaching for [name_m]Donny[/name_m] for a 21st century boy, but if they do it’s an easy correction. I also don’t think [name_m]Elias[/name_m] would immediately get called [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. I personally like [name_m]Huck[/name_m] & [name_m]Kit[/name_m] on their own!
