Seeing sarahmezz’s post made me realise that I too really need to narrow down my list…though I’m not sure if I’m ready to cut too many just yet. Anyway, feedback on the names is always welcome and please pick your top 5, give or take a few.
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - unsure about…
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - unsure about…
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - middle name only now.
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] - middle name only now.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] - middle name only now.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - unsure about…
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - unsure about…
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - unsure about…
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - to old.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - yes, love.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - too common. I see it HEAPS on nameberry, but I don’t actually know of any personally. I don’t really like it either way.
[name_u]August[/name_u] - the association with [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] Gloop from [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and the Chocolate factory just ruins it for me.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - reminds me of casper… and if not casper a ship?
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - love as a middle name.
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] - Reminds me too much of the murderer on tv.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - A good middle name.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I like this.
[name_m]George[/name_m] - More of a middle name to me.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - As much as this is a bit of an old man name, there is just something about it that I love enough to be on my list!
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - Reminds me of a horse I knew growing up, so I couldn’t use it… But it seems a bit European and a boy with this name would have big boots to fill!
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] - Dislike.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - I do like this… but again it is similar to [name_m]Casper[/name_m]!
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - I like this, especially with the nickname [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]!
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] - Not my favourite.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - Not my favourite… at all.
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - Too ‘old’ for my liking
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - Reminds me of a reading exercise I had to do twice a year all through primary school… and I remember thinking ‘what an odd name!’ I couldn’t use it but I can see the appeal.
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - I love this name, it’s so elegant and classic and not overused. [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], [name_m]Hitchcock[/name_m], Batman’s butler. Random, but these are the three that comes to mind!
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - I don’t care for this myself, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. It just bugs me, and I don’t know why.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - A fine strong name, although I think it’s slightly boring. But I know a very cute little [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], so I like it.
[name_u]August[/name_u] - Very handsome, but like the one above, this is a bit dull. It’s so somber.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - Handsome. I used to really love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] because it’s so romantic and I loved [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] when I was little. I think it’s a great name.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - Oh, why only in the middle? [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is so lovely, just a wonderful name.
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] - I don’t like this at all. Sorry! It’s so harsh.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - Very neat. I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], it’s romantic and dashing and riding through the woods in a fur cape. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f].
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I can’t separate [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] Pound but that’s fine. I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] Pound! What an excellent namesake. [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]'s a bit quirky and cool, but still cute.
[name_m]George[/name_m] - I like [name_m]George[/name_m] too. I see it’s only as a middle, but what a great middle it would be! There are so many great [name_m]George[/name_m]'s; St [name_m]George[/name_m] (patron saint of [name_f]England[/name_f]), [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Gershwin[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m] Weasley, [name_m]George[/name_m] in [name_m]George[/name_m]'s Marvellous Medicine!
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - I love this name so much. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]'s adorable and beautiful, elegant and playful. A lovely name.
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] - Quirky, handsome and intelligent. [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] is a wonderful and gorgeous name, and it’s so much fun to say!
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is one of my lovelies. I think this is such a beautiful and gorgeous name. A gem stone, a wise king. There’s also [name_m]Jesper[/name_m] and [name_m]Gaspar[/name_m].
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - In the [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] category. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is wonderful, there’s so many great things about this name. First of all, olive trees are amazingly beautiful. Then there’s Charlemagne’s paladin, [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] Twist, [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] Mellors. Gorgeous name.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] - I love [name_m]Percival[/name_m] and I think that would fit into your list better (brothers [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] and [name_m]Percival[/name_m]?), but [name_u]Percy[/name_u]'s okay.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - Very nice. [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]'s very handsome, in a bit of a bratish way, but it’s a fine name with a lovely meaning.
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - [name_f]Love[/name_f]! [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]'s such a good name, it’s beautiful, sexy, fun, smart and charming. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] Grint… and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] in Riders. I love this name.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I like this. [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] is a bit of an old man name, but it’s very handsome, intelligent, clunky and cool.
My top five:
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] or [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m].
Top 5:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] (love)
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] (love)
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] (love)
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
And the lovely boys. You should have definitely named your thread this.
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - I feel like I should love it but at Papa [name_m]Jones[/name_m] pizzeria they serve an absolutely awful pizza [name_m]Alfredo[/name_m] so it turns me off the name, haha. I love [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] though.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - Remindes me of Russian word for eagle, that’s pretty cool.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - I love ancient names and I used to love the Kill book, too. Nice one.
[name_u]August[/name_u] - I like [name_u]August[/name_u], but if not paired with [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], you know.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] sea is beautiful and that’s why I like the name. You won’t believe but I am not a [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] fan. And never had been.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - I know that’s not right too think, but [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is one of the names that bug me for now reason. I dislik the -z sound here so so much.
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] - Sorry, but such a harsh sound to my ears. X-s are very IT, so is [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] unlike your other choices.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]- You know I love it. He is kind of dull, but in a good way, like cloudy sky. Or [name_u]Percy[/name_u] Weasley.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I know a girl [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], can you imagine? Awful, but on a boy it’s fine.
[name_m]George[/name_m] - Did you move it because of new [name_m]Prince[/name_m]? He is lovely and the name too.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as much as I despise Russian Genry. Statefull, royal and smart.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - Loveable and my boyfriend loves the [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Boss[/name_m] brand, ha ha.
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] - This one is so much fun! [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] makes me think of crimpy tree branches, night sky, shiny stars, moon and wild forest. And it has a nice meaning and a HP-ish feel.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - Adorable. Beautiful stone and name.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is one of my lovelies. So many great connection and, well, I like olives. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is dashing, romantic but serious.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] - See [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. I love [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Jacson[/name_m] and [name_u]Percy[/name_u] Weasley and [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_u]Shelley[/name_u]. Wonderful name and would make a dear nickname for [name_m]Percival[/name_m].
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - I have never been a LOTR fan either. [name_u]Perry[/name_u] is fun to say and playful but [name_m]Pip[/name_m] is so…boo.
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - Why why why? [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is gorgeous! He may be my ver favorite for you. I see you tend to like softer names and it’s a stunning one. He is herbal tea, soft pillows, tassels and red paint. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] Grint is hot and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] bear is lovely. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] used to be on my list, and where has he gone? I don’t know.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I am unsure too, I have never like this one. I know only a cat [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and he is not a soft tender pussy but a loudly noisily sreaming one. Funny, but I dislike [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] because of him.
Top lovelies:
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
Can you please have twin boys [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] for me in the future? With sis [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] please!
@[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]: [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is in the middle as I found that although I adore [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is the name I prefer, and I try to stay away from nickname first names. [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] Pound is a fantastic namesake. [name_m]George[/name_m] is constantly going back and forth between first and middle. So glad to see [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] getting some love! [name_m]Jesper[/name_m] and [name_m]Gaspar[/name_m] are lovely, although [name_m]Jesper[/name_m] reminds me too much of [name_f]Vespa[/name_f]'s. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is one of those names I love despite how popular it is. He’s currently #3 in [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] and [name_m]Percival[/name_m] are swoon-worthy. [name_m]Percival[/name_m] is growing on me, but there’s just something about [name_u]Percy[/name_u]…
@[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]: [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] is definitely growing on me. I’m also not a [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] fan, I just never could get into the books, so I never bothered with the films. Some boys names on girls I can tolerate, but [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]? That reminds me, I have an acquaintance who is a [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]. [name_m]George[/name_m] is constantly moving despite the birth of the new prince. [name_f]Love[/name_f] your [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] imagery! [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] I’m slowly falling out of love with. [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] was put on the list as I desperately wanted a full name for nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m]. Okay, you’re making me love [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] more again! [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] - how stunning.
Here’s my top 5 in the order they appear. Great names BTW!
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] – love this so much. I love [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] too
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] – favorite! Swoon!
Honorable mentions:
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] – I love [name_u]Percy[/name_u] as a nn for other names like [name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] - Sounds a bit grandpa to me, though you can use “[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]” as a nickname
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], short, unique, but not strange.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - Too dated for my taste, even with “to kill a mocking bird” in mind
[name_u]August[/name_u] - This name is pretty good, not a favorite. But I like it.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - Sounds pretentious to me.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - A good strong, classic name
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] - I really love the name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. It has a “x” in it, it’s strong, and not overly used.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - Sounds a little dated to me. I don’t really like it. But I’m biased, my ex had that as a middle name so I just don’t like the name
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I like the name [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], but for me, because it ends with an “a” I feel like it should be a girl name. I know it’s a boy name, but it messes with me. But this name is starting to become popular, and it is a good name
[name_m]George[/name_m] - I never liked [name_m]George[/name_m], it just seemed bland to me. But it would make a good middle name.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] even though it’s common. It just sounds good to me.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - I don’t like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], it just sounds clunky and dated.
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of this name too much, it’s a bit of a mouthful. Though [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] as a nickname for this is cute.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - I don’t know… sounds too much like [name_m]Casper[/name_m]. The kid may get teased because of that.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - I love the name [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. Though it’s SUPER popular in [name_f]England[/name_f], so bare that in mind.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] - Sounds pretentious to me… But that may be because of the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] character [name_u]Percy[/name_u] Weasley.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - Absolutely do not like.
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - Sounds grandpa to me
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], you can also use [name_u]Toby[/name_u] as a nick. Either one sounds good to me.
