Need a name for another boy

We are having another boy, we have a Makai and Arrow.

We love the name Ocean but it clashes with our last name ( ends in ‘Son’)
so that’s out

we also love Sage & Eden.

Is Eden too girly?

Anyway, we are into nature, outdoorsy, water names… any suggestions? were due VERY soon and are STRUGGLING
Thanks!!

For me, both Eden & Sage are gender neutral, leaning feminine. But not so much so that I can’t see them working on a boy! Some other names you might like, and that I think work with your other boys’ names, are:

Arden (the name of the forest in "As You Like It, and it also means “valley of the eagle,” so that’s a double-whammy nature connection!)

Beckett (slightly more masculine, means “bee cottage” or “little brook” so nature AND water!)

Callum (means “dove”)

Holt (means “son of the unspoiled forest”)

Irving (means “green sea, river friend”)

Talcott (means"cottage near the lake")

Tullis (means “flood, peaceful, or hill”)

They all have more of a softer sound to them, since Ocean, Sage, and Eden are all softer sounding, gentle names.

I think my favorite for you is Beckett, but if it’s too popular (it’s ranked 215 in the US, while your other boys’ names are in the 500s), I also think Makai, Arrow, & Irving sound so lovely together.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Makai[/name_m] & [name_u]Arrow[/name_u] are so cool! I personally like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] & [name_u]Eden[/name_u] for boys, but maybe would stay away since they’re fairly common for girls. Especially [name_u]Eden[/name_u] seems used for girls more often. Maybe it’d be lovely as a mn.

I totally agree! I feel like [name_u]Eden[/name_u] leans so feminine that I probably wouldn’t get passed that, we just loved the name so much.

I love [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and definitely don’t think [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is too feminine! Either would be a darling choice!
