Boy Names

Hello, Berries!

I posted a similar thread for my girls’ names, but now I’m looking for opinions and suggestions for my boy names! I would love any feedback or ideas you might have for these names:

Adler [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Torrance[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_m]Macsen[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

I was over on the girls’ page not too long ago, and I know there you said you were going for classic, vintage options, so I think I’ll base my feedback on ways to compliment those styles, but please let me know if you’d prefer new feedback in a different direction!

[name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - I really like [name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] because of the balance of the newer trend of occupational/surname names and a classic name.

[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is so handsome! I personally prefer [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], but either way, I think it has a classic yet whimsical feel.

[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Torrance[/name_u] - I really like [name_m]Callum[/name_m], but [name_u]Torrance[/name_u] feels a bit off to me. [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is one of those names that’s very Celtic-sounding, so I think something like [name_m]Teague[/name_m] or [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] may suit it a little better.

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] - Another great combo! [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is definitely classic and vintage, and I love the more sleek-sounding [name_u]Grey[/name_u] behind it.

[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] - I’m a bit unsure of [name_u]Holland[/name_u] (it’s one of those names I go back and forth on), but I still think [name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is very well-matched and a nice combo.

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] is putting me off a bit. To me, [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is very dignified, so maybe a name like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Prescott[/name_m] or [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Penn[/name_m]?

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] - [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is another great vintage name, but [name_u]Eden[/name_u] doesn’t do it for me for two reasons, and both may just be a regional thing, as I don’t know where you’re based. 1. In the US, [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is primarily a female name, which is silly to gender names anyway, but that was the first thing that came to mind, and 2. It almost sounds like “[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] eatin’” because in the US, our Ts are quite soft naturally. If none of this applies to you, then I think you still have a winner.

[name_m]Macsen[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] - Another very handsome combo, and I adore the nickname [name_m]Mac[/name_m].

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] - I like this one, and I think it’s very versatile, depending on other names you put it with.

[name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - [name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] is vintage yet modern, but I’m not a fan of the first and middle names ending in the same sound. Maybe [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] with the nickname [name_m]Walt[/name_m]?

This was perfect, thank you so much! [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] would be so very perfect, as would [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Penn[/name_m], and [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Teague[/name_m]. I also had [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] on the old list, perhaps that would be better?

It may be a bit, but if you really love [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] as a first name, I wouldn’t stray away from it. As I was reading this, I thought of [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Edmond[/name_m], similar to [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Eden[/name_u], but to me, a little more in the vein of old-man chic names that (correct me if I’m wrong) you and I both go for. :slight_smile:

Oh, I love the idea of [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]!

[name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] the cadence of this [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] I like

[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Torrance[/name_u] love callum, not [name_u]Torrance[/name_u]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Lawerence[/name_m]

[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] seems an odd pairing
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] I actually like this despite the two syllable two syllable
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is feminine to me
[name_m]Macsen[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] I like this.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] I’m not sure bout this
[name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I love the idea of [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]. And I actually really like that [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is a more “feminine” name, but I definitely understand how others might not. Thank you again! You’ve given me some lovely ideas.

I love:

[name_m]Adler[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] but [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] is too long. I would use a one or two syllable middle

Thank you so much! And I think I agree - I find [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] so hard to pair!
