[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] ([name]Charlie[/name])
[name]David[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Paul[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] ([name]Sam[/name])
[name]Theodore[/name] ([name]Theo[/name])
[name]William[/name]

Thanks!

Honestly, I think they’re all good, solid names. You really couldn’t go wrong with any of them.

Personally I’m not so fond of [name]Evan[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Paul[/name] or [name]Luke[/name] (although I love [name]Luca[/name]). My favourites from the list would have to be [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Jonah[/name] and [name]William[/name].

While these names are classics, I almost find them too classic, and a little plain :
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Paul[/name].

[name]Evan[/name], [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Gregory[/name] also don’t really excite me, to be honest, and I’d beware of [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Noah[/name] as they are very handsome, but currently popular.

[name]Micah[/name] can cause pronunciation issues - is that something which would bother you?

All of the names which are left, I think are very handsome :
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] ([name]Charlie[/name])
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] ([name]Sam[/name])
[name]Theodore[/name] ([name]Theo[/name])
[name]William[/name].

My tip top choices would be [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Jude[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Charles[/name], [name]Charles[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Charles[/name] [name]Theodore[/name], and perhaps [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Luke[/name].

The names are handsome, refined, classic and will age well, and provide a variety of friendly nicknames like [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Ben[/name], [name]Benji[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Ted[/name]. Also [name]Luke[/name] and especially [name]Jude[/name] are so handsome, and remarkable in that they manage to be soft yet masculine, all in one syllable. I think [name]Jude[/name] would make a great first name, really, but the flow is best when they are in the middle name slot.

Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]
