Names like: Atlas & Austin, Casper & Chaos - Please help us with our naming style?!

Hello!

[name_f]My[/name_f] Dh and I need your help. We are so in love with unusual names, and talk about them all the time. We’ve decided when we will TTC so this is becoming a reality.

We both love the name [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], but are also aware of the huge name that it is.
Other names we love are [name_m]Austin[/name_m], [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and Chaos (does this even work as a name?). I think of these the most popular in our area is [name_m]Austin[/name_m].

We also like the name [name_m]Miles[/name_m], but we have both set our hearts on the name [name_u]River[/name_u] for a baby girl and think this might not work as a sibset.

SO, what I’m asking you wonderful berries is, what is our naming style? Can you suggest any more names which might fit with these names, or alternatives for these names? I would really love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

I hear beautiful baby girl names all the time, but very rarely hear boy names I immediately love.

Thank you, abbylily xx

The only word I can really pin on your style is eclectic. That’s good because at least you’re open to a wide range of possibilities! I don’t like Chaos as a name, but maybe something with a similar sound like [name_m]Caio[/name_m] or [name_m]Caius[/name_m]? I absolutely love [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! Those are two of my all time favorites… Suggestions:

[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Philo[/name_m] (rhymes with [name_m]Milo[/name_m], f-eye-low)
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] (made wearable by [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], though not necessarily associated with him)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Titus[/name_m]/[name_m]Tidus[/name_m]
[name_m]Pollux[/name_m]
[name_m]Franz[/name_m]

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_u]Yarrow[/name_u]
[name_m]Trig[/name_m]
[name_u]Fennel[/name_u]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]

[name_m]Siegfried[/name_m]
[name_m]Calix[/name_m]
[name_m]Draco[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Endymion[/name_m]
[name_m]Pike[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Argus[/name_m]

I’d say you just like unusual names. The established names you’ve listed aren’t super common, and the others are word names.

[name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_u]River[/name_u] would work fine together, and even [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]River[/name_u] are not too themey. I wouldn’t use them together in one name, but as siblings I think it’s fine.

Others you might like:
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Cypress[/name_f]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Quest[/name_m]
[name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_m]Cato[/name_m]
[name_m]Laszlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ajax[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]

Thank you both :slight_smile:
Of those I like:
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]

And I am in love with Astro! That’s really beautiful. I’m going to research it some now :slight_smile:

I guess we’re a bit eclectic, but I would like to create more of naming style! I would love beautiful sibset names.
