My boys list! Wdyt?

These are my boys names that the hubby and I have used or have decided to use for future sons. These names have been set in stone for well over 5 years now and the only one that has ever changed was our current sons name, it went from [name_m]Michael[/name_m] to [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] because the hubby thought [name_m]Michael[/name_m] was still way to popular (his name is [name_m]Michael[/name_m] is also). We also like our combos to have a mix of classic/old fashioned names with a slightly unusual/uncommon counterpart.

#1) [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] AKA [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_m]Pilot[/name_m]
#2) [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] AKA [name_m]Alec[/name_m]
#3) [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] Stark AKA [name_m]Benny[/name_m]
#4) [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]

Reasoning behind the names:

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is our 2 month old son. Originally he was going to be [name_m]Michael[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (after the hubby and uncles) because my hubby was so convinced he was going to be a girl I was allowed to pick whatever name I wanted. Then the minute we found out he was a boy his first words were, “He’s not going to be [name_m]Michael[/name_m].” so that made me a little irritated but I’m actually glad that happened because our son is definitely a [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and I actually love it more than [name_m]Michael[/name_m] (have for a long time) but I always thought my hubby hated it, turns out he loved it! We are also HUGE comic book, novel and TV series fans and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] (and James) is the name from my favorite comic (X-Men), my favorite book series (The Mortal Instruments) and my favorite TV series (Sanctuary).

[name_u]Lyle[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] will be the name of our second son. [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] is after my grandfather who was my biggest father figure and the hubby loved [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and it was better than [name_u]Seth[/name_u] so thats what we went with even though for a while I hated [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] because people would always say, “Oh you can call him [name_m]Xander[/name_m]!” or “Oh, [name_u]Alex[/name_u] is cute for a baby!” and I HATE [name_m]Xander[/name_m]/[name_m]Zander[/name_m] and I’m not a fan of [name_u]Alex[/name_u], then someone said, “Oh a little [name_m]Alec[/name_m]! [name_m]How[/name_m] cute!” and I was in love. Following the comic book and novel theme [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is the name of another favorite character in X-Men and a character in, again, The Mortal Instruments.

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] Stark will be the name of our third son. Again, following theme, [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is from Spiderman and the nickname is from a favorite TV series Supernatural,and Stark is from Ironman/Avengers comics, not Game of Thrones haha

[name_m]Elvis[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] will be our fourth son, we kinda kept with theme by using a name from something we love, [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] [name_u]Presley[/name_u], and [name_m]Michael[/name_m] is the name of so many characters I love that its ridiculous haha plus is after the hubby (hopefully anyway, if [name_m]Michael[/name_m] is much lower on the list if/when #4 comes around)

So let me know what you think :slight_smile: I know everyones opinions and tastes are different so I know not everyone will love or even like my choices as much as I do haha You may even hate them :slight_smile:

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] are majorly cute! [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] is nms but as with all of your names I see why you’ve picked them as they all have sentiment and mean something to you. I love the reasoning behind names and the names you’ve picked are lovely.

I love [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]. It’s also a Transformer…!
To be fair, I love GoT. But to name your son ‘Stark’ is a bit… meh… Why not ‘[name_u]Bran[/name_u]’ as it goes well with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t forget [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Logan[/name_u] from X-men as well! Haha, my son loves that connection to his middle name…
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is a seriously awesome name and I think [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] fits really well with it. =]

Your son’s name is seriously cool! [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]…so handsome and cute too!

You also have a great list.

Yes, [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] comes from Magneto ([name_m]Erik[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] Lehnsherr and his son on [name_f]Earth[/name_f]-27 [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] Lehnsherr) and [name_u]James[/name_u] comes from [name_m]Wolverine[/name_m] ([name_u]James[/name_u] “[name_u]Logan[/name_u]” Howlett) :slight_smile: but [name_u]James[/name_u] doubled as a family name so we say that first when it comes to [name_u]James[/name_u] so that people don’t flip out on us hahaha :slight_smile:

Thank you!

Thank you so much! A lot of people don’t get why a name might have a reasoning behind it haha

[name_u]Bran[/name_u] is much to similar to [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] for us plus is makes me think of [name_u]Bran[/name_u] muffins lol :slight_smile:
