Not All "Made-Up" Names Are Bad – The Boys Version

Hello Berries, this is the boys version of “made-up” names taken from “[name_m]New[/name_m], [name_u]Unique[/name_u] and Original Names for [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Boys" by [name_u]Michael[/name_u] Caputo (subtitle: Make Your Child Stand Out Among the Multitudes). The introduction states that the names contained in the book are from the author’s imagination alone . While my preference is for names of depth and history (which I believe can be found among the thousands of unique options already in existence), some of his “newer” names were quite interesting. Below is a list of the most evocative male options. I’m not going to include some of the unisex names that I posted in the “Girls Forum” yesterday. Pronunciation and spelling is up to you! Which ones do you like or dislike, Berries?

Some of these are just international takes on various legit. names/surnames. Bael is a pagan god from Biblical times. Others are bastardized surnames that have been around for a hundred years or more. But you’re right–most are made up, and I don’t much care for words without legitimate origins.

President Diapher [name_m]Jones[/name_m].

I think it should be illegal to name human beings such atrocities, even dogs and cats too.

[name_m]Aren[/name_m]'t there plenty of actual names out there to choose from? I think so! I think this man had too much spare time on his hands or was making a joke. Ecolio? Come on…
