★ [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any name suggestions based on this list?

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Fynn[/name_m] - wow, elegant, sophisticated and rugged. It flows really well and there’s somehow really artistic about it. It gives me the imagery of forests and still pools but also fresco paintings

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_m]Kier[/name_m] - love [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] -they’re soft wig lovely meanings. [name_m]Kier[/name_m] adds an interesting sharpness. [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] would be nice too. This gives me imagery of hills and oak trees -all greens and blues

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]I love the rugged flow of this. It’s so adventurous and cool! [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Keir[/name_m] would be cool too. It gives me the imagery of mountains and mist

[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] - this feels literary, mythical and charming. There’s also something pleasantly earthy about it -soft in some places but strong in others. It gives me imagery of reds and blues, fallen leaves

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - wow! It feels so magical, slightly whimsical but also grounded, classic but fresh. It gives me imagery of old towns, sunrises and boots and puddles

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m] - Sorry to say, this one isn’t for me. I’ve tried but [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] just feels clunky and sly to me and I don’t think the sounds of [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] helps. Maybe something softer? [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m] maybe, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m], [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]? From a more objective pov, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] Vincet [name_m]Raiden[/name_m] is strong and a nice mix of classic, biblical and modern. It gives me imagery of orange and yellow

[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] is nice! I love [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] -so light yet strong. I admit I’m not a fan of [name_m]Xander[/name_m] but [name_m]Jove[/name_m] is cool! It gives me imagery of space, nebulae and constellations
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] or [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] might be nice

Some names I like as sibsets:
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Fynn[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_m]Kier[/name_m] and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
Ezekeil [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Fynn[/name_m]

[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_u]Reeve[/name_u]/[name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_m]Phinneas[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]

Sorry if those aren’t quite right in style

Thank you [name_u]Grey[/name_u] <3

I love Ezra, Lysander, Jonah, Apollo, & Hayden from your suggestions. Also, Reeve is new to me, will be going on my one syllable list!

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Fynn[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] the general feel of all of the names, but I think [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] would flow better. I don’t know if it would change the meaning. The meanings are all nice, I’m not sure what you want from them but I would say these ones feel a little disjointed.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_m]Kier[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] the sound and flow of this one! I like all of them but [name_m]Kier[/name_m] is very handsome. I feel like ‘[name_m]Fortunate[/name_m], Blessed [name_f]Happy[/name_f] One’ and ‘[name_m]Lion[/name_m]’ are a bit odd when combined with ‘[name_m]Little[/name_m] Dark One’ though, because [name_m]Fortunate[/name_m], Blessed and [name_f]Happy[/name_f] don’t make me think ‘Small’ or ‘Dark’ and neither do Lions. So while I love the flow I’m not sure about the cohesiveness of the meanings.

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] - Again, great flow. I think all of these names are very handsome and the set of meanings is very cohesive and paints a picture in my mind of a sailor, and although a lot of the imagery is ‘warrior’ it doesn’t feel very violent which I like.

[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] - So upfront, [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] is one of my least favourite names of all time. I don’t know why but for me it just brings up an image of a small-minded/racist sunburnt guy whose shouting at service staff. I do like the meaning though. [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] is lovely, but potentially a bit much together? They’re both quite ‘in’ and it feels a little over the top. I love both [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] and [name_u]Beau[/name_u] though, so would love to see them around still!

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - The meaning behind this one seems lovely, the idea of having ‘Sorrow’ and then ‘God Supports/Heals’ is very nice, though potentially a bit religious. I like the combo, I feel like there’s something a little off in the flow but I can’t quite place what, either way it’s not a deal breaker.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m] - I really like this one. I was expecting not to because [name_m]Raiden[/name_m] feels so out of step in terms of style with [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], but actually I think it really works. And the general combinations of meanings are very cool.

[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] - I’m not 100% sure how to say [name_m]Jove[/name_m] and not a huge fan of [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]. I think the combination is fine, and has an ok flow, but I don’t love it all together. I do like [name_m]Xander[/name_m] a lot, but [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] just doesn’t sing to me, sorry!

Sibsets
I love three of your boys names, so I’d have:
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_m]Keir[/name_m]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m]

If I mix in with your girls:
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] [name_m]Keir[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Raiden[/name_m]

Thank you Maerad! <3
Jove is, I think, pronounced Rove but with a J - Rove like Rove McManus.

All opinions and thoughts appreciated

My favourites from the names are:

[name_m]Fynn[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_u]Beau[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m]
[name_m]Jove[/name_m]

[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] would be dreamy!

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Fynn[/name_m] immediately conjured imagery of green, leafy woods for me (which I think was your intention!). I love [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], but I do think they would flow a little bit better with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]. However, I do understand the appeal of the connected meanings.

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] conjured an image of a sea warrior in my mind, though more along the lines of fantasy than a sailor. I think this is a beautiful name with beautiful flow, and my favourite on your list!
