Thanks everyone!
What a relief that the craze around LOST has died down… it had such a cult following when it came out and I could barely mention [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] in the past without it garnering a ton of “too close to [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Linus” comments! I’m sure it still has people who go back and watch it, but it’s been off the air for probably a decade now. [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] wasn’t the most wonderful character, but I think of Peanuts before LOST most days, anyway.
@ellerbea - thanks girl, [name_m]Berend[/name_m] feels like the kind of name I’d want to pair with [name_m]Linus[/name_m], but I don’t love the combo, weirdly? [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] is so cute and cuddly but I can’t really see myself using [name_m]Bear[/name_m]. [name_m]Linus[/name_m] to me doesn’t feel like it goes with just any styule of name, so I’ve found I’m rather picky about the middles I like with [name_m]Linus[/name_m].
@peachymum - thank you! What a relief lol. I’m sort of thinking I like [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] or [name_m]Blaise[/name_m] better with [name_m]Linus[/name_m] today anyway, but I’ll definitely keep [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] as an option for now! I love [name_m]Breccan[/name_m], [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], and Bjorn… I’m not sure [name_m]Linus[/name_m] and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m] feel like they go together, but I definitely like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m]! I’ll have to give them some thought.
@sorceress - thanks girl, I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Desmond[/name_m]! I would love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] if I didn’t already have [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] on my list.
@somemelodioussonnet - thank you! I’m not sure if [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] was in the first couple of seasons? I feel like he didn’t show up until about season 3. He was a wily sort of character imo so I’m happy most aren’t making the association with him. I like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] from your suggestions!
@Greyblue - not sure if it’s replayed often here, I don’t watch cable television often anymore. It used to be on replay and you could hardly mention [name_m]Linus[/name_m] on here the last time I considered it without berries saying “oh you can’t use [name_m]Linus[/name_m] Benjamin”. I’m happy to see it’s run its course! I really like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] from your list… [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] too! I am loving [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] and [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] as first names right now so I may save those for a first name. We’ll see, I didn’t expect to get so invested in revamping my list as I seem to be lol.
@AmyVermeersch - thank you! [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] is sweet! I have always liked [name_m]Brodie[/name_m]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m], and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], but I’m still on the fence on if [name_m]Linus[/name_m] feels like it goes with a surnamy pick like [name_m]Booker[/name_m] or Bridger… I feel like it needs a very Nordic/German/pan-European sort of name to go with it? [name_m]Hence[/name_m] [name_m]Blaise[/name_m], [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Benoit[/name_m], etc.
Thanks berries!
