Male name with feminine nickname options!

Nixie2 · January 13, 2023, 9:59am

hi, i‘m looking for a new name for myself!

i would like a male name (not unisex), but with the possibility of using a more feminine-leaning nickname if i ever feel like it.

i like names that aren’t too common. i dislike word names.

my current list, i love all of these:

harlan (nn harley)
ambrose (nn rose)
everett (nn rett & evie)
elian (nn el)
emmett (nn em)
lucian (nn lou)
julian (nn jules & julie)
adriel (nn adi)

(names i like, but won’t use bc they’re more unisex and i really do want a male name: avery, emery, emerson)

I like [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] . Not with girly nicknames but have a feminine boy name feel.

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] has the same feel.

[name_u]Maverick[/name_u] nn mavvy
