Looking for suggestions!

I’m about six months away from the time frame I plan to start trying to conceive and I want to add to my short list. I have a large amount of boy names on my long list, but now that I am planning on having a child I don’t love them for my child.

Current list of names I can see myself using:
[name_m]Henrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]

Yeah, that’s about it. Over 200 names on my list and I can only see those three used on my child. :frowning: I’m so picky. I’m hoping the Berries can help me find names that fit my style that I would actually love. I know [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] are classic names, but I think [name_m]Henrik[/name_m] shows my style more. The closest I come to describing it is classic with a twist.

I also love [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], but I don’t love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] or any of the [name_m]Ed[/name_m]- names. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is probably the only one I come close to liking. I’m trying to decide whether to add [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] to that short list. They were both my #1 for years, but name fatiigue hit me and I’m 50/50 about using them.

Hmm, I see where you’re coming from. I’ve been feeling the same thing about the names on my list/signature. When reality hits us it’s all the push we need to work through the seemingly endless lists we’ve created, isn’t it?

Based on only the three boy names you mentioned, here are some ideas, I’m sure you know most of them, though:

[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Harold[/name_m]
[name_m]Joachim[/name_m]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Emil[/name_m] or [name_m]Emile[/name_m]
[name_u]Wallace[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]

Oh, I thought I’d suggest you search for ideas on [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Name [name_m]Wizard[/name_m]'s “[name_u]Baby[/name_u] Matchmaker” feature. It’s awesome for finding new names! http://www.babynamewizard.com/

[name_m]Gregor[/name_m]
[name_m]Joachim[/name_m]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m]

Ooh. I really like [name_m]Caspar[/name_m]. I also really like the sound of [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]. I do wonder if it might be too over the top. You suggested a few([name_u]Wallace[/name_u], [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]) that I don’t quite love enough as firsts, but I am definitely putting them on my middle list. Off to check out the Matchmake feature! :slight_smile: Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions! None appealed to me, but I appreciate them. :slight_smile:

I like a previous poster’s suggestion of [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]. My suggestion is [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]. If you like the name then you could use [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a nickname.

I do like [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], but not enough to use. When it comes to using [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] I would probably end up settling on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. I’ve searched everywhere for a full name that I love, but every time I come out empty handed.

I’m thinking of doing something like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] or [name_m]Theron[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. I don’t like many T names that work, but I think I can get away with [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a nickname with those combos.
