Hey nameberries…I have recently started making a name list for boy names and I have a HUGE list that need narrowing. Would you all like to help me? Maybe you could tell me you top 5 (or 10) and bottom 5 (or 10)? Thanks!
Ones I think are great:
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Judah[/name]
[name]Knox[/name] - although there’s a strong connection to the [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name]'s son
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name]
[name]Tucker[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
Ones I really wouldn’t use:
[name]Braxton[/name]
[name]Bronx[/name]
[name]Cullen[/name]
Daylon - [name]Dylan[/name] would be much better
[name]Dallin[/name] - [name]Dillon[/name], on the other hand is great
[name]Gannon[/name]
[name]Gunner[/name]
I’m searching for a boy name for our 3rd boy. We already have a [name]Nolen[/name] & [name]Graham[/name].
You have a good list! On your list, I like:
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Cullen[/name]
[name]Preston[/name]
[name]Ryder[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Kellen[/name]/[name]Kellan[/name]. I had a friend who named her son Kelhan (he’s prob 13 now)
I don’t care for these:
[name]Braxton[/name] b/c it sounds like braxton hicks
[name]Bronx[/name]
[name]Brighton[/name]
[name]Cruz[/name]
[name]Drake[/name]
[name]Foster[/name]
[name]Knox[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name]
[name]Xander[/name]
I really like these names from your list:
[name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] nn [name]Teddy[/name] (love)
[name]James[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Xander[/name] (although I think [name]Alexander[/name] nn [name]Xander[/name] is far more handsome and practical)
I don’t mind:
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Cullen[/name] (although it will be constantly associated with Twilight)
[name]Lennon[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Judah[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Foster[/name]
[name]Knox[/name]
I don’t like (but don’t vehemently hate):
[name]Blake[/name]
[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Preston[/name]
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
[name]Asher[/name] - I’ve never been fond of any “ash” names, but this is the best if I had to pick one.
[name]Braxton[/name] - Very nice, but also very trendy
[name]Blake[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Bronx[/name] - My son is named [name]Boston[/name] and it is a running joke in my family that I’m going to name my next son [name]Bronx[/name]. I’ve never met anyone that didn’t laugh at this because they thought the name was completely rediculous as a baby name. My personal opinion - it sounds harsh when I say it.
[name]Brody[/name] - Good name.
[name]Brady[/name] - The [name]Brady[/name] Bunch springs to mind.
[name]Brighton[/name] - Again, nice, but trendy.
[name]Cole[/name] - Good name. Slightly boring.
[name]Cruz[/name] - Great name! Have you thought about [name]Crew[/name]?
[name]Cullen[/name] - I don’t like the way it sounds
[name]Charlie[/name]/[name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name] - I like this better on a girl.
[name]Davis[/name] - Not bad.
[name]Drake[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
Daylon - Hmm… sounds made up. I’m not sure what I think.
[name]Dallin[/name] - This is much better than Daylon. I actually kind of like it.
[name]Easton[/name] - Very nice.
[name]Edward[/name] nn [name]Teddy[/name] - Nah. Not my style.
[name]Foster[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t really like “f” sounds in names. But that’s a personal preference.
[name]Gannon[/name] - I like it. [name]Cannon[/name] is actually on my long list - very similar.
[name]Gage[/name] - Good name.
[name]Gunner[/name] - Meh.
[name]Holden[/name] - Good name.
[name]Isaiah[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it.
[name]James[/name] - I love [name]James[/name] for a mn. Not so much as a first name due to poor nn potential.
[name]Jonah[/name] - Not a fan of boy’s names ending in “a”.
[name]Judah[/name] - This is just… bad.
[name]Judd[/name] - My thought process on this one: [name]Judd[/name]. Spud. [name]Bud[/name]. [name]Jed[/name] Clampett from [name]Beverly[/name] Hillbillies.
[name]Kellen[/name]/[name]Kellan[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Knox[/name] - I like it, but it’s very abrupt sounding.
[name]Lennon[/name] - If this didn’t make me think of linen, then I would really like it.
[name]Nolan[/name] - Good name.
[name]Nathaniel[/name] - Never been a fan of this one.
[name]Preston[/name] - It’s on my list. Great name.
[name]Ryder[/name] - Very popular. Also, can you picture a respectable 50 year old [name]Ryder[/name]? Maybe it’s just me…
[name]Reid[/name] - Stong name.
[name]Samson[/name] - Nothing wrong with this.
[name]Stellan[/name] - This is cool.
[name]Thatcher[/name] - I know a boy with this. I hated it until I saw it connected with the cute little boy. They call him “[name]Thatch[/name]”
[name]Tucker[/name] - Hmm… [name]Tucker[/name] [name]Max[/name]. Look him up if you’ve never heard of him.
[name]Xander[/name] - I like this.
[name]Weston[/name] - This is a cool name too.
[name]Walker[/name] - Nice!
My Favorites:
[name]Blake[/name], [name]Cruz[/name], [name]Drake[/name], [name]Kellen[/name], and [name]Preston[/name]
Least Favorites:
[name]Cullen[/name], Daylon, [name]Isaiah[/name], [name]Judah[/name], and [name]Judd[/name].
