I did a similar post on the Girls forum. I have been overthinking my list for too long and need some help freshening it up. Not looking for criticism. I’ve already heard the negatives or thought them myself. I just want to know what I should keep in the running and ideas for additions. Here is the current list:
[name_m]Lennon[/name_m] - Not getting a good reception from family and friends. [name_m]Vladamir[/name_m] [name_m]Lenin[/name_m] association. The Beatles association doesn’t bother me becuse I’m a fan and have been most my life.
[name_m]Fynn[/name_m] - Not normally a fan of alternative spelling, but I like this one. Can’t use it because of my 3 letter, single syllable last name.
[name_m]George[/name_m] - single syllable last name
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - too popular
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] - Getting very femanized in the U.S.
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] - Dog name
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m] - Dog name
Other names I’ve fallen in and out of love with - [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m], [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], [name_m]Edison[/name_m], [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_u]Jory[/name_u] and [name_u]Joss[/name_u].
Well [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is #73, I don’t think that’s “too popular” at all. I’ve never met anybody named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]…I’ve never even met anyone [name_m]IRL[/name_m] who had [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] on their list (except myself). [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] is actually only 10 places behind it and you didn’t mention that being too popular. I think you should keep [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] on the list! I think [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] should stay, too. I’ve never met a dog called [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], but I have met two men called [name_m]Cooper[/name_m]. I don’t see anything wrong with either of them…I vote they should stay!
But also with [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] I think you should consider: [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], [name_m]Martin[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Austin[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], [name_m]Ford[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Damon[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], [name_u]Carter[/name_u].
I was going to put [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] on there until I saw that you’d already listed them.
Most of these are out of the Top 100. I think the only exception is [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], but I could be wrong.
