I’ve fallen out of love with almost every name on my boy’s list. I know I’m drawn to trim, sleek, international names with an established history and which aren’t overly masculine. But finding names I really like is proving difficult.
My girl’s list includes [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Marlena[/name_f]/[name_f]Marlo[/name_f], [name_u]Simone[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] (love those botanicals!), [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. For boys I could see myself using [name_m]Dov[/name_m] or [name_m]Adrian[/name_m], and I really like [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] and [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]…but after that, my imagination fails.
From those listed so far, I like [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Rafael[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_m]Darwin[/name_m], [name_u]Calder[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (unfortunately unusable since my name is [name_f]Leah[/name_f]), [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Milo[/name_m], and [name_u]Orion[/name_u]. Thank you to everyone who replied!
