Opinions/Additions to List!

Boy Names
1

Hi Berries!
So I am doing a little refurbishment of my lists since it hasn’t been done in a while and my style has been evolving. For girls, I was able to put together a solid Top 10, with other names falling below, but for boys I could only come up with 6 that I would want in my Top 10! Those 6 are in the list below, at the bottom are other names I loved in the past, but while I still really like them, I just can’t see myself actually using them. Any thoughts and opinions on the top 6 or other names would be greatly appreciated! And any suggestions would be lovely! TIA!

Atticus
Oliver
Maxwell
August
Carter
Ezra

I really like your six choices, I think the style is very cohesive!

If I were to add any names, I might go for something like Finn, Finlay, Oscar, Jasper, Charlie, Percy, Rory, Ruben / Reuben, Simon, Archer, Arthur, Hugo, Callum, Peter, Gideon, or Otis.

I really like your top 6! They feel very similar in style to me – familiar, classic yet contemporary, gentle yet strong, using softer sounds.

Some similar ideas I would suggest are: [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_u]Walker[/name_u], [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_u]Francis[/name_u], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Clark[/name_m], [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], [name_u]Elijah[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], and [name_u]Hayes[/name_u]

Some thoughts:

[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - fun, literary and cool
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - I find it a bit meh, but objectively, it’s solid, classic and versatile - one you can’t really go wrong with
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] - handsome and elegant
[name_u]August[/name_u] - charming, warm, rugged and lovely
[name_u]Carter[/name_u] - not a personal fave, but strong and modern
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] - gentle, warm, lovely and sparky

A few suggestions that came to mind:

[name_u]Jonah[/name_u]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_u]Miles[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_u]Leon[/name_u]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]

Your list is great and I like a lot on your secondary list too, but totally get the feeling of liking names without the feeling that you’d actually use them!

I think we have similar name styles (currently pregnant with Maxwell!) so I’ll share some of my other boy crushes in case you also like them!

[name_u]Amos[/name_u] (note: I also love [name_m]Ames[/name_m] but would maybe do [name_u]Amos[/name_u] nn [name_m]Ames[/name_m] so it’s consistent with [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] nn Max)
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
Jude/Judah
[name_u]Miles[/name_u]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]

You have a nice list. I think both your current and old favorites are very cohesive. You have some solid picks, you can’t go wrong with any of them.

[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- not a fan but I do like the [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] association. It also has a gentle strength which I do like.

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]- I’m not a fan of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or any variant but [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is an objectively solid choice and it ages really well.

[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]- this name has grown on me a little bit recently. It’s very handsome and cute at all stages of life.

[name_u]August[/name_u]- I love [name_u]August[/name_u]. It’s very handsome, rugged, and strong.

[name_u]Carter[/name_u]- it’s not a favorite of mine but I’m overall neutral on [name_u]Carter[/name_u]. I think it’s modern, easily recognizable, and it ages well.

[name_u]Ezra[/name_u]- love. [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] is another name which I feel like has a gentle strength.

Some suggestions:

[name_u]Beckham[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Quinton[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Truett[/name_m]
