Well I can’t seem to get a real theme down with my boys list! It seems to be a combo of ethnic names ( and not even the same ethnicity!!! LOL)
Tell me what you think! BE BRUTALLY HONEST!!!
I like these:
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
I love these-all very handsome:
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
I don’t like these: (Boring or too clunky for me)
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]-
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]-
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]-
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]-
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m]-trying too hard
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]-
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]-
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]-I don’t get the appeal with this name
The only one I really like is [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. I kind of like [name_m]Abraham[/name_m]. I wouldn’t consider any of them old man names like [name_m]Eugene[/name_m] or [name_m]Harold[/name_m]. Sorry
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]- haven’t liked this name since [name_u]Vinny[/name_u] was on [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] shore. Completely ruined it for me. Makes me think of… well, stereotypical Italians from the [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] shore. [name_m]Peter[/name_m]- classic. Can’t go wrong.
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]- dull.
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]- not my favorite. Could be dashing or exceedingly dull. [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]- I have been in love with [name_u]Sully[/name_u] lately! It definitely reminds me of Irish boys from Southie, but I personally find that charming
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]- makes me think of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] in the Middle (TV show) star [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] Muniz [name_m]Malachy[/name_m]- love this. I think it’s such a handsome underused Irish name.
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]- like [name_m]Bram[/name_m] as a nn
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] too old testament for me
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]- reminds me of the Protestant Reformation and [name_u]Lex[/name_u] [name_m]Luther[/name_m]-- not in pleasant ways
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m]- a little exotic for me, but nice
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]- dull
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]- kind of dig it
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]- whiny Peanuts character. not a fan [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]- adore this.
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]- Holyfield. nms
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]- like but don’t love
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m]- no
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]- reminds me of [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] Lutz, who may be hot but I think of as a meathead.
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]- makes me think of the movie [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m] with the cat and dog who run away (or something). not a fan
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]- see above
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]- never heard of this one. nms
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]- meh. not a huge fan.
[name_f]Love[/name_f]:
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]–I’ve really been crushing on this name lately, especially with nn [name_u]Sully[/name_u]!
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]- Simple yet not overused. Great choice!
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]-- I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], it’s on my list, but I think I like [name_u]Asa[/name_u] more!
First of all, I love your list overall. Some things that stood out to me about your list:
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] is sooo handsome! It is a top contender our list.
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] and [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] are really cool!
I’ve never heard of [name_m]Matvey[/name_m], but I think I like it.
I literally starting laughing out loud when I realized you have [name_m]BOTH[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m] AND [name_m]Otis[/name_m] on your list. You wouldn’t use both of them for brothers, would you??! They aren’t bad names (I actually quite like [name_m]Milo[/name_m]), just not good together.
I adore [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]!!! <3
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]- I like the name, but not so much then nn’s [name_m]Vince[/name_m] and [name_u]Vinny[/name_u]. It’s a strong handsome name
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]- Classic and slightly boring, but then again I havent’s met many baby [name_m]Peter[/name_m]'s.
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]- Another decent name
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]- Not my style, maybe a little hipster?
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]- Makes me think of [name_u]Sully[/name_u] in Monsters Inc, seems like a cool preppy name though
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]- [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] in the middle, still seems a little dated to me
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m]- [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name though I like the [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] spelling
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]**- One of my favourites, it is such a handsome name for a boy to wear and I adore the nn [name_m]Abe[/name_m] and [name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]- Second favourite after [name_m]Abram[/name_m] but same as above, I love these names
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]- I prefer this in the mn spot
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m]- Something throws me off with the spelling, but the way I am pronouncing it makes me like the name
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]- Nice name, not my favourite from your list though
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]- I don’t like this name
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]- I would like to see a child with this name
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]- Reminds me of HP, love the name
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]- I prefer something along the lines of [name_m]Zander[/name_m]/[name_m]Xander[/name_m] more, [name_m]Evander[/name_m] doesn’t seem as strong of a name although you could use [name_m]Ander[/name_m] as a nn
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]- Like this name, for some reason [name_u]Remy[/name_u] I think of as a girl spelling and [name_u]Remi[/name_u] for boys
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m]- Prefer Cosmos, but again an ok name
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]- Reminds too much of [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] the guy from Twilight, but as a name I like it although I don’t love it
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]- Simspon’s bus driver
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]- Really love the name, but can’t use it here as it’s a choc drink
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]- I don’t like this name, seems made up
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]*- [name_f]Love[/name_f] this name, another one of my favourites along with [name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] -not my taste but it is ok
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] -could grow on me but only in the middle name spot
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] -like it, but only spelled this way, but it seems to remind me how I like [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] better
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] -reminds me of [name_u]Desi[/name_u] Arnez from I [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], but I do like it somewhat(I’m super picky)
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] -not my style at all
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] -this has been growing on me, love the show M in the Middle too
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m] -I like [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], (rhymes with sky) not [name_m]Malachy[/name_m]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m] -not my taste
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] -same
[name_m]Luther[/name_m] -possible potential for me to like this
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m] -dislike
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] -ok
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] -I feel like too many S sounds make it sound softer, and maybe less masculine, just me probably
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] -never liked
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m] -this always reminds me of another word -sorry -I’m probably pronouncing it incorrectly-hopefully I am hehe
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] -handsome
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] -sounds girly
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m] -I wouldn’t mind [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] in the middle, but this doesn’t do it for me
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m] -like it, but would be hesitant to use it b/c of bullies using the girly sounding [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] to tease (even though I think [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] was originally a boy name)
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] -reminds me of [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]'s dog frend [name_m]Odie[/name_m]/Otie, dislike it
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] -no thank you
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]- not my style
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] -not bad, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] seems more my taste, maybe [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] could be a legit nn for it?
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]–handsome, and I love [name_m]Vince[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]–[name_u]Brady[/name_u] Bunch
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]–I only like [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]–very handsome and strong
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]–eh
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]–smart
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m]–always makes me think of ‘malarky’
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]–I like [name_m]Bram[/name_m]…[name_m]Abram[/name_m]'s too Old Testament.
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]–a bit much
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]–strong…I always picture a bald man.
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m]–prefer [name_m]Philip[/name_m], and esp. nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]–ok as a mn
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]–sweet, kind of softer than I like for a boy.
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]–[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]'s buddy
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]–always loved this one.
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]–intimidating
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]–a rare [name_m]French[/name_m] name I dislike
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m]-eh
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]–is that from Twilight?
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]–sweet, mild
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]–adorable!
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]–no
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]–love this one!
I really like a lot of these! I agree that there really isn’t a specific style, but that’s ok.
These are my favorites from your list…
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Abram[/name_m], [name_m]Abraham[/name_m], [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - These sound strong, athletic, and very masculine
[name_m]Luther[/name_m], [name_m]Felipe[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Kellen[/name_m], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Matvey[/name_m] - These have a soft, milder feel to them.
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m] was the name of my great great grandfather. He was from [name_f]Russia[/name_f] and later brought his family to canada. He is in a few history books actually!!! so its a name that has a lot of meaning to our family!
Also… I have never read or seen twilight! I was lucky enough to avoid it! LOL So i had no Idea that [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] was a character !! I knew edward and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] only due to the unavoidable publicity of those moves…
But now that I know that it puts me off as I would hate to be asked that by every twilight fan out there! ( and I know there is a lot) oh well I guess thats OFF my list now!
AshleyJuliette - [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] is pronounced [name_u]Shay[/name_u]-mus
I love your list! The only ones I don’t care for are [name_m]Luther[/name_m] ([name_u]Van[/name_u] Dross), [name_m]Evander[/name_m] (Holy field), [name_m]Cosmas[/name_m] (too Kramer). [name_m]Just[/name_m] personal associations, nothing wrong with the names!
From your list I like:
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m]
I find [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] a bit too ‘old man-ish’
Of the others I can see the appeal but they’re just nms.
At first I laso associated [name_m]Luthor[/name_m] with both [name_u]LEX[/name_u] luthor as well as vandros, [name_m]Evander[/name_m] with Holyfield and [name_m]Cosmas[/name_m] with Kramer… But for some reason I can get over the associations! Especially with [name_m]Cosmas[/name_m] as I realate it with the saint as well ( as per my catholic upbringing LOL)
Im sure no kids would ever make those connections either!
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - pretty good, [name_u]Vinny[/name_u] could be a cute nn
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] - never been a personal fav
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] - I actually think [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is great!
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_u]Desi[/name_u] is a cute nn, however, when I suggested [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] to my husband as an option for us, he immediately said it made him think of [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] Tutu (who, btw is an amazing human being a social rights activist), and didn’t want such a strong association with a single person. Not sure I agree, but others may think the same thing.
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] - YES.
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] - okay
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m] - good name, maybe trying a bit hard to find something unique?
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]
[name_m]Felipe[/name_m] - I think works if you have the right background, but could sound weird if not paired correctly.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] - YES
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] - good, like it
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] - also good
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m] - I like the sound of [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], but think it’s one that sets them up to get made fun of a bit
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] - a lot of people will have Holyfield/boxing association with [name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] - good. Are people using this more frequently with girls now?
[name_m]Cosmas[/name_m] - not my fav
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m] - I can’t stand the actor [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] Lutz, so can’t give a fair assessment here
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] - cute
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] - too popular for me
[name_m]Matvey[/name_m] - ?
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - good
