I love this theme and thought I’d make one for boy names. This is inspired by the thread that @mellona made for the girl names section. Here are some names that I can think of…
Armel - Bear prince
Aubade - Morning love song
Brynjar - Warrior armor
Caligo - Darkness, mist
Elwyn - Noble friend, elf friend
Eneko - My little one
Faramond - Protector of journeys
Lindir - Song man
Luno - One who stares at the moon
Neven - Marigold
Sansar - Cosmos
Somerled - Summer traveler
Tarka - Wandering as water
I wouldn’t use [name_m]Aubade[/name_m], it’s a feminine name so it sounds a bit weird for a boy, but most of all it’s a very well-known lingerie brand. It’s a pretty word but I don’t think it would make a good baby name.
@fearlessfirefly it’s an old [name_u]French[/name_u] word and its grammatical gender is feminine. I’ve never heard it used as a person’s name (definitely not used in France), although it could be gorgeous. I can only think of the lingerie though, and if you Google it you’ll have pages and pages of bras. It just wouldn’t be easy every day to be named [name_m]Aubade[/name_m].
[name_f]Audra[/name_f] (high royalty)
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] (unique choice, god of love)
[name_u]Atlas[/name_u] (the one bearing the world)
Eloic (glorious warrior)
[name_u]Hippolyte[/name_u] (the one who tames the horses)
[name_m]Jorah[/name_m] (autumn rain)
Homael (good prince)
[name_f]Jolan[/name_f] (purple land)
[name_u]Merlin[/name_u] (fortress over the sea)
[name_m]Ulrich[/name_m] (wolf-king)
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] (rumble of a storm)
[name_m]Wael[/name_m] (the one who gets away from misfortune)
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] (a soft breeze)
I don’t see why this can’t be a boy’s name, so I’ll add [name_f]Apricity[/name_f]. It means “the warmth of sunshine in winter,” and it’s such a dreamy name! I do also think that [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], which means “little seal,” is very charming! Some more I like are…
