Mythical & Mystical Boys

Ooh la la.

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name] is heavenly. And I wasn’t even rooting for [name]Casimir[/name].
That and your [name]Mio[/name] combination take the cake.

[name]Romulus[/name] is winning me over, despite all this talk of whiskey-drinking, tobacco-chewing leather-tanners…
[name]Romulus[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Gawain[/name] would be quite ruggedly handsome. Or [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name]!! Though R-heavy, I like that the wolfishness is carried through the whole name ([name]Romulus[/name] having been suckled by a wolf, then [name]Peter[/name] and the [name]Wolf[/name], and [name]Ranulph[/name] meaning “wolf-counsel” I believe)
Wolfie would be a nice nick. Makes me think of “[name]Amadeus[/name]”

I’m torn between [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name] and [name]Orpheus[/name] Brage Lorien, they’re both an incredibly handsome bunch of names. I can’t choose between them, I’ve tried but I simply can’t. With [name]Aphrodite[/name], I like the matching ph-sounds in [name]Aphrodite[/name] and [name]Orpheus[/name], but I think that the sound of [name]Aphrodite[/name] and [name]Casimir[/name] is absolutely wonderful.

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Isidore[/name] [name]Rainier[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] Faramir [name]Ivo[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name] [name]Herne[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] Earendil [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] Calidore [name]Zephyr[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Gawain[/name] [name]Peter[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name] Earendil
[name]Romulus[/name] Balder Lorien
[name]Romulus[/name] [name]Antony[/name] Brage

Once again, beautiful imagery. And also, sorry this is going to be terribly long. I have the hardest time not making tons of combos for you. (Edit – It was late and I got tired or they probably would have been much longer :stuck_out_tongue: )
I’ve decided I like [name]Orpheus[/name] best with [name]Aphrodite[/name] and for you in general. As with the girls, one name per post.
For [name]Casimir[/name], I get more of an open, bare fields. But I still get adventurer, traveler, cloak in the wind, wrapped around his face for the dust of his horse. Leather, sea salt, those are the smells I have. You’re making me love this name and I used to so dislike it. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name] is great. BTW, I’m sending you a message with a song by SJ [name]Tucker[/name] that for some reason has a [name]Casimir[/name] feel to me.

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Damon[/name] Calidore
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] Calidore
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] [name]Herne[/name]

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] [name]Antony[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Odin[/name] [name]Antony[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Thor[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] [name]Wayland[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Wayland[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] Pelleas [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Aries[/name] [name]Osiris[/name] (I know it’s not on your list, but it came into my head)
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Aries[/name] [name]Herne[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Sigurd[/name] Valemon
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Wayland[/name] [name]Thor[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] [name]Thorn[/name] (Again, [name]Thorn[/name], it’s not on your list but I mistyped [name]Thor[/name] and like it)
[name]Casimir[/name] Pelleas [name]Ranulph[/name]
[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name]

[name]Endymion[/name] is my second favorite with [name]Aphrodite[/name]. The sounds go so well together. I actually get water with [name]Endymion[/name]. It’s still winter and cold, but the lake isn’t frozen in my picture. Instead, he’s in a little boat out there stretched out watching the snow fall, maybe ice fishing with his cabin all lit up with lamp light on the shore. So, close to yours. :slight_smile: Your combo is lovely and perfect.

[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Cecil[/name] Balder
[name]Endymion[/name] Bragi Winterson
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Cecil[/name] Brage
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Cecil[/name] [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] Boreas [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Robin[/name] [name]Orion[/name] (I know they all end in N but I think they sound good)
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Peter[/name] Valemon
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] Valemon
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Herne[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Isidore[/name] Brage

[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] Winterson
[name]Endymion[/name] Lorien [name]Rainier[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] Lorien Winterson
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Hector[/name] [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name]
[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Frost[/name] (feels right to me to add [name]Frost[/name] :stuck_out_tongue: )

I really don’t have much to add about [name]Oberon[/name]. He’s dancing and joy and music. He’s drumming and flutes and bells. I also see twisting and turning and laughing and bonfires. :slight_smile:

[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Wayland[/name] Arcas
[name]Oberon[/name] Arcas [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] Earendil
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Peter[/name] Loxias
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] Hylas
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Isidore[/name] [name]Herne[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] Lorien Mist (I hope you don’t find this girly (cause it’s not to me), but it’s so twilight forest to me)
[name]Oberon[/name] Hylas [name]Gawain[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Peter[/name] Lycius
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Sigurd[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Darius[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] Earnendil [name]Orion[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Zephyrus[/name] [name]Vale[/name] (Felt the need to add the –us and [name]Vale[/name] is nature)
[name]Oberon[/name] [name]Aries[/name] Valemon

Your [name]Orpheus[/name] combo is magical. To me, [name]Orpheus[/name] is like Tinuviel to you. It’s magical and fleeting and nothing clear. It’s bittersweet music, strummed slowly at dawn. It’s the gentle, quiet singing, birds chirping, shadow and pink sunlight and early morning dew on the trees. Mountains in the back like you said. As a matter of fact, I’ll send you [name]Orpheus[/name]’ music too.
As with Tinuviel, I’m going to end up adding a lot of my own stuff here because I don’t feel a lot of what you have in [name]Orpheus[/name]. They’re going to have a lot of Lorien as it just screams [name]Orpheus[/name] to me.

[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Tristan[/name] [name]Adair[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] Lorien Phrixos (“the ripple of water in wind”)
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Dorian[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] ([name]Dorian[/name] is a scale on the guitar and it’s also so lovely and soft)
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Isidore[/name] Coda
[name]Orpheus[/name] Ronen Valemon
[name]Orpheus[/name] Valemon [name]Brio[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] Brage [name]Hawthorne[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] Lorien [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Silvan[/name] [name]Rainier[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Gawain[/name]

I know it’s not many, but it’s after midnight here and I’m super tired! [name]Persephone[/name]’s been sleeping through the night the last few days but for some reason I feel the need to stay up and watch her. Sigh. I’ll come back and make more later.

I love [name]Casimir[/name]. On a side note, I think you should write a baby name Imagery book. I think all the berries would buy it :).

It’s time for Otter boys! Hey all the 5 would make great brother set…perfect for five sons :wink:
[name]Casimir[/name]! He is all sexy and dashing, such a heartthrob for me. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Hector[/name] Winterson excites me to the 10th degree…You know how a feel about anything winter-related. Would [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] [name]Robin[/name] and [name]Casimir[/name] Lorien [name]Zephyr[/name] suit so well?
[name]Endymion[/name] is very winter-ish for me, like Ice [name]King[/name] or Ded Moroz(Russian [name]Santa[/name]) :slight_smile: [name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] is all perfection and though I like [name]Endymion[/name] [name]Aries[/name] [name]Robin[/name] too, nothing can beat your combo. Thumbs up!
I love how you imagine [name]Oberon[/name], that’s pretty much that I do too. [name]Oberon[/name] Loxias [name]Peter[/name] or [name]Oberon[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] Pelleas are lively and sparkling to me.
[name]Orpheus[/name] is so romantic and manly but it’s such a sad story…Let’s spice it up and make [name]Orpheus[/name] fun! What can be more spicy that [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Basil[/name] Calidore or [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Basil[/name] [name]Isidore[/name]? [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Wayland[/name] Valemon is handsome too. Also, did you hear the Soviet rock opera “Orpheus and Eurydice”? I don’t know if it’s able to listen to on Internet or in English language but that’s pretty cool and much how I see Orpheus.
I can’t imagine how I feel about [name]Romulus[/name]…He is so wild and unpredictable, kinda fruit cake but in a good way. I love bad boys. [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Idris[/name] [name]Thor[/name] and [name]Romulus[/name] Earnedil [name]Herne[/name] are badass enough, aren’t they?
To sum up, that’s cool and fun as usual. I adore [name]Vasiliy[/name] from you middle name list, it makes me feel of my hometown but I don’t feel him right with your first name choices.
Gonna be one great named babe!

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name].

I tried to read past that one, but nothing could follow it. The imagery for [name]Casimir[/name] was my favorite, too, but it was already my favorite of your current top 5 from previous list.

I love [name]Antony[/name] rather than [name]Anthony[/name]. I love using [name]Herne[/name], even though I was in the anti “Hernia!” camp at first. I really, really like it as a middle, and seems so fitting with [name]Casimir[/name].

Okay, if I have to look past [name]Casimir[/name]…I don’t want to…but next [name]Endymion[/name] or [name]Oberon[/name]. and [name]Rainier[/name] as the second of the 2 mns…but that’s all I got.

Thanks lovelies!!! You are all wonderful and helpful!

[name]Amy[/name]; I know, right? Four’s the limit! It’s as if NB doesn’t want us to show emotions… :eek::o:confused:

[name]Emma[/name]; I love [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name]! That’s an epic name if I ever saw one! [name]Glad[/name] you like my [name]Cas[/name] & [name]Mio[/name] ones, they are handsome, aren’t they?

[name]Zelia[/name]; yay, you like [name]Orpheus[/name] Brage Lorien! I love Brage. And I kind of want a Scandi name in it this time. Your combos are great, [name]Oberon[/name] Earendil [name]Gawain[/name] jumped right out at me! Splendid!

[name]Angel[/name]; I listen to the song and it is so great! [name]Love[/name] it! Your combos are all great, I’m having such a hard time picking out my favourites, cause really I just want to copy them all! So this is me being ruthless. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Damon[/name] Calidore, [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Ranulph[/name], [name]Endymion[/name] Bragi Winterson (swoon!), [name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] Winterson (reswoon!), [name]Oberon[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] Earendil, [name]Oberon[/name] Hylas [name]Gawain[/name], [name]Orpheus[/name] Brage [name]Hawthorn[/name] and [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Silvan[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] are my favourites that I could use. But they’re all so beautiful! As are all your words. We see eye to eye on many a thing, which is good! By the way, [name]Persephone[/name]'s sleeping through the night??? You lucky girl, [name]Aphrodite[/name]'s up all the time. But I get the sitting and watching her. we co-sleep, but I’m still awake looking at her all the time.

rgp; haha, yeah, I’ll do that! :D!

[name]Victoria[/name]; I’m glad you like the [name]Hector[/name] Winterson one, it’s kind of all I love in one name. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Darius[/name] Lorien, [name]Oberon[/name] Loxias [name]Peter[/name], [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Basil[/name] Calidore and [name]Romulus[/name] Earendil [name]Herne[/name] are all great! I actually have heard that rock opera! I’ve got a weird thing for Eastern European stuff… (by the way, did you see the ballet-rock-musical Ma-Ma/[name]Rock[/name]'n’roll wolf when you were little? I watched it again a few days ago…) Thanks so much, I hope he/she will be well named!!

[name]Lois[/name]; thanks, I love the [name]Casimir[/name] one too! [name]Antony[/name] seems cleaner to me, and it’s the name of one of my favourite musicians. So that’s why I spell it without the h!

Yep. She’s 6 weeks. The nurse told me if she didn’t want to wake up and eat I didn’t need to force her. She said “If she’s hungry she’ll wake you up” And since I’m feeding her a lot during the day and she’s already 11.06 pounds, I think it’s fine. I give her a full 6 ounces at 9 and she’ll sleep like a log until about 6ish. It’s been going on for about a week. :slight_smile: She’s also lifting her head and chest really well and can get her lower body halfway flipped over. I give her tons of tummy time :stuck_out_tongue:

Alright, bragging over. >.> I forgot to give you [name]Romulus[/name] combos so I’m going to make a new post and do those.

Starting this by saying that I don’t particularly like [name]Romulus[/name] as I think of [name]Star[/name] Trek first cause I’m a nerd, but once I move past that, I think of the myth and like it a tiny bit. I do get the same sort of imagery as you but also with [name]Remus[/name], which I like better.
[name]Romulus[/name] for me, after [name]Star[/name] Trek, isn’t a forest, but more of a mountain valley. He’s wearing animal pelts and with a dirt streak on his face. I also see him with gray eyes. It’s almost like something on the cover of a romance novel. :stuck_out_tongue: That makes me like it a bit more >.<
Romulus Balder Vasiliy
Romulus Ivo Dragan
Romulus Loxias Ranulph
Romulus Hector Gawain
Romulus Sigurd Lykaion
Romulus Wayland Zephyr
Romulus Odin Wolfwood
Romulus Faolan Ivo
Romulus Fenrir Gawain
Romulus Damon Bodaway (Native American – fire maker)
Romulus Hector Enapay (eh-nah-pay – Souix – brave)
Romulus Lanval Hototo (Hopi – warrior spirit who sings)

Reaching into the Native American side of my heritage really helped me love Romulus. He goes so well with those names.

You’re gentle-lads are beaut’s.

[name]Romulus[/name] Calidore [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Gawain[/name] Earendil, [name]Romulus[/name] Faramir [name]Cecil[/name]

Otter, yay for rock-operas! Isn’t it great? All coolness of [name]Orpheus[/name] is in it. And, unfortunately, I haven’t seen that musical. That’s a pity because I am a theatre fan. [name]Will[/name] google it while Nellster is asleep.
But, really, I came back with a few combos again. I was lying with [name]Nell[/name] and re-thinking your list. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Tyr[/name] came to mind. If I remember right, [name]Tyr[/name] is Norse god of war and even though you are trying to avoid major Gods, isn’t he cool? [name]Even[/name] if you don’t like this, I think [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] is great regardless which name you put in the second middle slot.
To end up with own ideas, I also thought of Bedivere(Bedwyr), [name]Taliesin[/name](or Taliesen? A son of [name]Ceridwen[/name] and Welsh bard?) and [name]Janus[/name](even though you are due in Feb, what can be better for a winter babe?).
Something like [name]Oberon[/name] Bedivere [name]Herne[/name] or [name]Endymion[/name] [name]Janus[/name] [name]Peter[/name] would be cool. Sorry if I was silly or odd(you obviously have enough names) but these just popped into my head. :wink:

I find your descriptions of names very intriguing! When I imagine a name, I most likely imagine someone I know with the name. For example, [name]Lily[/name] is the sweet tomboy in my daughters class who loves rugby. [name]Amy[/name] is my dear friend who adores reading and organic coffee. [name]Tom[/name] is my elderly neighbour, an absolute gent.

Your names are very unusual, some I’ve never even unheard of, yet you can come up with the most vivid imagery, its truly beautiful. I find it intriguing I guess because I can’t imagine things like fur capes and pet wolves coming to mind when I imagine certain names, those things are so far from the society we live in that they simply don’t occur to me. Your imagery is beautiful and so interesting!

My favourite is [name]Casimir[/name] :slight_smile:

[name]Orpheus[/name] Brage Lorien - omg gorgeous!!!

Of course, I would adore if you used Loxias, it is one of my favorite middles for boys…perhaps [name]Oberon[/name] Loxias Brage? I am also super in love with [name]Zephyr[/name] (duh, hehe) in the middle- suggestions:

[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] Iorek

[name]Casimir[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] Lorien

Awesome top 5!
In order, first names only, my favorites are:

  1. [name]Endymion[/name]- This is such a magical name. It might be locking you in to a bit of a mythological theme, but if that doesn’t bother you this would be an incredible choice. In many ways, I think this name in the same way I like the name [name]Emrys[/name]. To me, they both seem like the name of someone kind and gentle, strong and creative. Perhaps a bit quiet, but very intelligent and when he speaks his words are potent.
  2. [name]Oberon[/name]- This would actually be my favorite when paired up with Aph, as it has a kind of vibe that fits really nice with her name. [name]Oberon[/name] sounds strong like a bear and outgoing, the name of a leader.
  3. [name]Casimir[/name]- This name has grown on me a lot, and I think it would be work great for you. It’s not a name for everyone, but you are one of the few people that could easily pull it off. It feels romantic and royal. The name of someone who can do everything. I still think it sounds a bit too much like cashmere, but I think that’s an association that’d I’d get over if I ever met someone with this name. I think it’d be a great choice.
  4. [name]Orpheus[/name]- The top 3 are definitely my favorite three. This one is a further away fourth choice for me. Sounds too 'matrix’y for me. The ‘Orph’ sound is also not my favorite.
  5. [name]Romulus[/name]- This sounds too 'star-trek’y for me (where there’s an alien race called the Romunlans).

The combo of [name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] is absolutely stunning. There is not another combo in the mix that even comes close to this one for me. That’s almost naming perfection as far as I’m concerned. [name]Oberon[/name]'s combo you have is mama-huhu (in Chinese means ‘horse horse- tiger tiger’, aka so-so) for me, [name]Sigurd[/name] and [name]Gawain[/name] are not my favorites. [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name] is my second favorite combo, quite awesome. I like [name]Rainier[/name] in the mix for [name]Oberon[/name] too, how about [name]Oberon[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Rainier[/name]?

[name]Angel[/name]; no, no, bragging’s good! She sounds advanced… it’s fun when they start lifting their heads!! [name]Aphrodite[/name] was 19 weeks yesterday!!! I can’t believe how time flies… She’s getting so big and she’s got the most delicious fat little legs. Back to combos… I really like [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] Dragan, [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Sigurd[/name] Lykaion, [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Odin[/name] Wolfwood and [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Hector[/name] [name]Gawain[/name]. Husband nixed all the last three immediately… too “foreign”. Thank you sweetie!

[name]Lex[/name]; I think I might be in love with [name]Endymion[/name] Liber Valemon. It sounds all icy and polarbear-ish! I also adore [name]Orpheus[/name] [name]Vasiliy[/name] Winterson and [name]Romulus[/name] [name]Gawain[/name] Earendil, they’re so beautiful. Thank you!

[name]Victoria[/name]; I loooove Bedivere and [name]Taliesin[/name]. [name]Taliesin[/name] was supposed to be on the middle list, don’t know where that went. Is it me, or does that happen alarmingly often to me? I’m forgetful. [name]Janus[/name] is very cool, but one of my former lovers used underwear by that name. So NO. [name]Oberon[/name] Bedivere [name]Herne[/name] is fantastic! [name]Love[/name]. And you’re never silly, odd yes, but in the good way ;). Thanks doll!

Miss [name]Moon[/name]; [name]Oberon[/name] Loxias Brage is gorgeous! Isn’t Loxias the coolest? I could talk about how cool it is all day. Hehe, yeah, I know you like [name]Zephyr[/name]! Let’s hope a little one comes your way soon… [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] Lorien is amazing, I’ve been drooling over this one for a few days now! Thanks so much!

Javad; Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to comment on my thread, even with two little ones at home! I hope everything is great at home. All your comments are great and wise, very helpful. And I love [name]Oberon[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Rainier[/name], it’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m very happy with the [name]Endymion[/name] combo, I think it was [name]Amy[/name]'s work though, not mine. Thanks again!

[name]Endymion[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] [name]Rainier[/name] and [name]Casimir[/name] [name]Antony[/name] [name]Herne[/name] are flawless.

Thanks, Southern!

I forgot to add that we took Rom off the list. So we’re down to four…
