Needing Inspiration

Boy Names
1

Hello,

I feel like I have been through every name list and nothing is feeling right yet. Wondering if anyone has unique ideas for boys names. My partner and I both tend to like softer unisex names but also can’t agree on one. I feel like maybe I’m being really picky but I want a name that:

  1. Can be shortened for nick names
  2. Preferably nature inspired but not a direct (or obviously direct) nature name
  3. Works with [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] (or variations of) for middle names

Some we have discussed are Eyrie/[name_f]Eira[/name_f] but neither can really be shortened. I also like traditional names like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] but my partner does not. We liked [name_u]Ash[/name_u] but couldn’t agree on a lengthened version…

Figured someone out there will have better ideas than me!

Thanks in advance.
