But less cheesy.
I thought of
surnames that work better than Tennyson, but has soft sounds:
Spencer
Percy/Darcy
Clarence
softer sounding names:
Orpheus
Amaury/Amadeus/Ansel
Cornelius/Cyprian/Dimitri/Endymion/Lysander/Peregrine
Maximilian/Frederick
Thomas/Thorin
Lucius
But I still want to put Tennyson on my list, and I feel crazy because I love it, but it’s too much ‘one person’s name’… I’m also not familiar with Tennyson beyond hearing his surname. For a boy’s name, not girls.
How do you feel on this? Should I put it on my list?
I really do love [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], especially as a poetry and literature geek. [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m]'s work is some of my favorite, and his artistic statements and viewpoints were bold and far ahead of his time. He was well-loved by the Victorian royals, and very much admired at the time and to this day, so it gives the name quite a bit of heft.
I like [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m]. I think it could work on your list
