I’m in search of names like [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], etc. Names that are warm, friendly, noble, intelligent, and storybook-like. I imagine a curly-haired man with soft, kindly brown eyes. He’s wearing a dark green, cable-knit sweater with a book tucked underneath his arm.
Behind him, a hazy pastel sunset lends his lush gardens a magical, fairy-like quality; fireflies loop in-and-out of the [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] trees shading his stone cottage; they flicker softly, completely awhirl in their own dozy world, lazily dotting the air with their bright little lights. He leans on a glowy lamp post, squinting at the dark shape in the forest, trying to make out who or what you are.
This is my favorite kind of boy name! I’ll list all that come to mind…

[name_f]My[/name_f] immediate thought was [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] with [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a nickname. [name_f]My[/name_f] other thought was [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] names like [name_u]Edward[/name_u], [name_u]Edison[/name_u], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] or [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] I think they would be great.
All of these are perfect! [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] in particular gives me those [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] vibes

[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] like [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Cuthbert[/name_m] is the perfect suggestion!
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m], [name_u]Robert[/name_u], [name_m]Wilbert[/name_m], and [name_m]Philip[/name_m] are absolutely gorgeous
