I think it would be neat to keep my Greek heritage into the name, but I could use them for middle names too. I’m looking for strong names for a first name.
I like these:
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Leonidas[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this /geeks out
[name]William[/name]
[name]Carter[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name] - I think your dads greek name is a bit of a mouthful, sorry! But [name]Thomas[/name] is 100% useable!
[name]Adonis[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]
Like for combos:
[name]William[/name] [name]Leonidas[/name]
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Adonis[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Easton[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Leonidas[/name] [name]Carter[/name] (Could go by [name]Leo[/name]!)
[name]Noah[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Adonis[/name]
[name]Adonis[/name] [name]Easton[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]- Recently loving this name.
[name]Elliott[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this for a boy. Starting to like it for girls too.
Themistocles- this just sounds badass and cool.
[name]Thomas[/name]- [name]Favorite[/name] name for a boy.
[name]Kent[/name]- really into to this name. Also like [name]Clark[/name]…
I starred my top 5, but I thought I’d comment too!
[name]Noah[/name] - Very close to putting this in my top five. Only downfall for me is its popularity.
[name]Leonidas[/name] - I like the connection to it and like the nn [name]Leo[/name], but I feel like this is hard to pronounce at first glance.
[name]Abel[/name] - It’s ok, NMS.
[name]William[/name] - Can’t really go wrong, only “downfall” is maybe a bit boring, but that’s it.
*[name]Carter[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! It’s SUPER popular in my state though so I probably won’t use it but I think it’s cute on a boy and works great for a man!
[name]Henry[/name] - Another close to the top 5. I used to be “meh” about this name, but it’s grown on me!
*[name]Elijah[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name! I’d consider it but I have a family member with twins [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Soren[/name] (and sister [name]Georgia[/name]… great names right?).
[name]Basil[/name] - This is a really strange name to me. I feel like every butler is an English guy with this name, haha.
*[name]Elliott[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! This is also my favorite spelling
[name]Micah[/name] - I like it but don’t love it.
[name]Simeon[/name] - It’s ok but I think I like the similar [name]Simon[/name] better.
[name]Graham[/name] - NMS at all.
Themistocles - Like the connection, but I feel like this is a really difficult name to grow up with.
[name]Thomas[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! I have a distant cousin named [name]Thomas[/name] and he’s adorable! [name]Tom[/name] or [name]Tommy[/name] works great as they get older.
[name]Willem[/name] - Hmm, it’s ok. My fiance’s family has a couple similar names you might like - [name]Wendell[/name], Wendellin (sp?) and [name]Willard[/name]. Like any?
[name]Jefferson[/name] - NMS.
[name]Ethan[/name] - [name]Love[/name], but it’s pretty popular. Another close to the top 5.
[name]Adonis[/name] - A little unfamiliar but interesting.
*[name]Silas[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Raphael[/name] - It’s ok, just NMS.
[name]Beckett[/name] - It’s ok. What about [name]Bennett[/name]?
[name]Easton[/name] - I have family in [name]Easton[/name], PA so that’s what I think of.
*[name]Elias[/name] - I like this name because it’s similar to other names out there ([name]Elliott[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], etc) but still a little less popular (I think?).
[name]Roman[/name] - NMS but ok.
[name]Luke[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name! Close to my top 5. I’d consider it but I have a cousin with with this name.
[name]Kent[/name] - Not bad. I feel like this name is really underused.
[name]Alec[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! I like this alternative to [name]Alex[/name].
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]/[name]Elliott[/name] (both really similar, and I can’t choose between the two! I might slightly prefer [name]Elijah[/name] for you)
[name]Micah[/name]/[name]Beckett[/name] (these would both get spot five for me… I can’t decide between the two! [name]Beckett[/name] [name]Micah[/name] might be a really cool combo…)
[name]Elias[/name]
I would keep [name]William[/name], [name]Leonidas[/name], and [name]Thomas[/name] (or the more Greek Themistocles) as MNs, personally.
I like that [name]Leonidas[/name] is a family name, and a connection to your heritage, but at the same time, contains on-trend and “cool” [name]North[/name] American nick-names [name]Leo[/name]/[name]Leon[/name].
[name]Leonidas[/name] (Grandpa’s name – from Greece) - I think it’s great to give a nod to your heritage, and also it can be shortened to the well-known [name]Leo[/name] for everyday use.
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Roman[/name]
[name]Leonidas[/name] [name]Henry[/name]- I love the familial connection here. Wouldn’t usually be one of my favourite names but that swings it. [name]Leon[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are so dashing
[name]Willem[/name] [name]Leo[/name]- [name]Willem[/name] might just be my favourite. The classic [name]Will[/name] with a charming, unexpected twist
[name]Raphael[/name] [name]Henry[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Raphael[/name] and [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Raffi[/name]. Beautiful
[name]Beckett[/name] [name]William[/name]- [name]Beckett[/name] is a great name; one of my favourites. However, it doesn’t have the gravitas of [name]Willem[/name] or [name]Raphael[/name] for me. Like it a lot though
[name]Roman[/name] [name]Leo[/name]- [name]Roman[/name] is a good name. Very strong. Would you want to use [name]Leo[/name] or a form of it as a middle name? It sounds as though the family connections are an important factor for you.
[name]Alec[/name] [name]Willem[/name]- [name]Alec[/name] is so underused, another twist on a well used name. I like it the least of these 6 though- there’s something slightly slick about it. It doesn’t have the warmth of the others quite. But it sounds streamlined and interesting. Maybe [name]Alec[/name] [name]Leonidas[/name] has a little more ‘warmth’?
Really good list- enjoyed reading it. [name]Will[/name] be keeping my eyes peeled for what you go with!
(just playing with combinations really, can’t help myself!)
