Need expert advice!

Boy Names
1

I am a soon to be first time mommy to a little boy due in [name]April[/name].
Me and my Fiance are having a very hard time coming up with names!
I am new to this site and would love to have some fresh opinions and ideas to help us out!

We are both in our mid 20’s, and love comics, video games, anime, sci fi and fantasy as well as mythology and folklore, so we have been trying to show that in our choices but we also dont want anything too obscure, because the baby’s last name is going to be hard to pronounce so we dont want to complicate it too much, also since we both have first names that begin with A, my fiance reallys wants the first name to begin with it as well. (although I am partial to R, S, H, & O ) and the middle name is fair game! [name]Ive[/name] suggested hundreds of names, nothing has felt perfect, either He hates it, or if he loves it I cant commit. its very frustrating and im hoping some outside advice will be great!

Heres some names we like but cant commit to for one reason or another…
[name]Henry[/name] (we both loved until we saw a million baby henry’s)
[name]Asher[/name] (too popular for me, but he likes)
[name]Stellan[/name] (I love, fiance doesnt like)
[name]Arrow[/name] (I like, He doesnt)
[name]Alexander[/name] (his name is [name]Alexander[/name] and I dont want an [name]Alex[/name] jr!)
[name]Rhett[/name] (my fave, but sounds silly with the last name)
[name]Parker[/name] (he loves, I hate)
[name]Romulus[/name] (he likes, I dont)

here are a few others we have thrown around but are not able to commit to…
[b][name]Vaughn[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Max[/name], [name]River[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Remy,[/name] Atticus, August, and [name]Aries[/name]

[/b]hope to hear some suggestions!!Thanks!

Heres some names we like but cant commit to for one reason or another…
[name]Henry[/name] I have me a ton of Henrys & [name]Williams[/name] but they are classic names.
[name]Asher[/name] maybe just [name]Ash[/name]? Escher. [name]Dash[/name], [name]Cassius[/name], [name]Ember[/name], [name]Ashton[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name] hmm It’s nms.
[name]Arrow[/name] [name]Milo[/name], [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]Hunter[/name], [name]Archer[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name] I love it. He could be [name]Sasha[/name], [name]Lex[/name], [name]Al[/name], [name]Allie[/name], [name]Xander[/name]/[name]Zander[/name], [name]Andy[/name], [name]Sandy[/name]…instead of [name]Alex[/name] [name]Jr[/name]
[name]Rhett[/name] I had to let go of my favorite cause of our ln & it was so awful! But especially with a boy I just wouldn’t if the combo isn’t any good.
[name]Parker[/name] it’s ok.
[name]Romulus[/name] nms. [name]Roman[/name], [name]Ulysses[/name], [name]Zebulon[/name]

[b][name]Vaughn[/name] this isnt my style. [name]Ivan[/name], [name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] this is really nice. I love it!
[name]Max[/name] maybe [name]Maxim[/name] will work for you? It’s strong like some of your other choices.
[name]River[/name] I like it
[name]Soren[/name] I like it
[name]Nathaniel[/name] I like [name]Nate[/name]
[name]Remy[/name] eh
[name]Atticus[/name] eh. These aren’t for me but maybe [name]Atlas[/name]?
[name]August[/name] I love it! [name]Augustus[/name], Augustan.
[name]Aries[/name] feels to airy & wispy to work on an adult man.

thanks! I really like the idea of [name]Sasha[/name] as the NN for [name]Alexander[/name].
and I love [name]Augustus[/name], [name]Augustin[/name], [name]August[/name], any name with [name]Gus[/name] bc its such a cute NN.
Ashford has been added to the list, i like it much more than [name]Asher[/name].
[name]Rowan[/name], [name]Ren[/name], are very nice
now I just need to come up with some first name+ middle name combos! which is NOT EASY for me!

You’ve got a pretty wide range of styles there, so it’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly which names to recommend, but here’s a few I like that may or may not work for you (apologize for any repeats, I haven’t read the other responses):

Here’s some A names I like:
Amias
Alaric
Alden
Arden
Alton
Aldric
Aidric
Amadeo
Alonzo
Abner
Amil
Augustus
Aurelio
Adib
Amin
Amari

And some others you may or may not like:
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Darius[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Luca[/name]/[name]Lucan[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name]
[name]Emrys[/name]
[name]Keaton[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Rolland[/name]
[name]Zander[/name]
[name]Emil[/name]
[name]Marcellus[/name]
[name]Demetrius[/name]
[name]Kieran[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Cordell[/name]
[name]Dashiell[/name]
[name]Riley[/name]
[name]Saul[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]

What about [name]Sylvan[/name] instead of [name]Soren[/name] or [name]Stellan[/name]. It’s more english and less scandinavian, but a similar sound a nature meaning.

10

If you want to name your baby after his father [name]Alexander[/name] how about using [name]Alistair[/name] instead which is the Scottish version of the name. I Another ‘A’ suggestion with the nn [name]Gus[/name] is [name]Angus[/name].

11

Hmmm… [name]How[/name] about [name]Absalom[/name]? I don’t exactly know how nerdy you’re trying to get, but [name]Achilles[/name] is well-known enough to be correctly pronounced, though spelled is another story… [name] Axl [/name] / [name] Axel[/name]? [name] Apollo[/name]? Instead of [name]Alexander[/name], how about [name]Alistair[/name]? For the O’s: [name]Otto[/name]? [name]Otho[/name] after the [name]Roman[/name] Emperor of all of three months? [name]Ozzy[/name] after Ozymandias? [name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Horace[/name]? [name]Rudyard[/name]? Maybe [name]Rhodes[/name] instead of [name]Atlas[/name]? Ratchet? Or maybe the more pronounceable [name]Redd[/name] or [name]Roy[/name]? [name]Samson[/name]? [name]Solomon[/name]? Or if you’re daring, [name]Saul[/name], [name]Spiro[/name], or [name]Sebastian[/name]?

You have some great areas to pull from; I hope you two find one you both enjoy!

[name]Henry[/name]: Classic. Seems common and lacking a specific personality
[name]Asher[/name]: NMS and very popular
[name]Stellan[/name]: strong name. Other possibilities: [name]Soren[/name] / [name]Sylvan[/name] / [name]Seren[/name]
[name]Arrow[/name]: I would use it as middle name. I would perhaps use [name]Eero[/name] (Finnish variation of [name]Eric[/name]) as a first.
[name]Alexander[/name]: Very common. I would use [name]Alistair[/name] (Scottish version of [name]Alexander[/name]) instead.
[name]Rhett[/name]: From “Gone with the Wind”? :smiley: I would use [name]Brett[/name] / [name]Everett[/name] / [name]Garrett[/name] / Leverett as a full name and [name]Rhett[/name] as a nickname.
