I’m currently going through my boys names lists and would really value your opinion on my combos!
So far we have:
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] (a really strong contender when we have children)
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] / [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] (I don’t know how I feel about using [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] as its getting so popular)
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] (with our short surname it doesn’t seem to flow, but i can’t think of any other mn’s)
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] (loving this but it seems a little out of place?)
I’d love to hear your opinions and any other suggestions on names we might like! Thank you in advance!
ArloRafferty / ArloCassian - [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] is so bright and lovely
EzraFinn - [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is cute but if it doesn’t fit with your surname, how about [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Donovon[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finnian[/name_m]
OttoWilliam -while [name_m]William[/name_m] is a little more classic that your other middle choices, [name_m]Otto[/name_m] fits right in and it’s a lovely combo
I love these names! We have very similar taste it seems.
Hugo [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]: Perfection. I love both names and they go together brilliantly.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]/Arlo [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]: Both are fantastic but I prefer [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], mainly because I prefer [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] to [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]. If it were [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] it’d be a tougher call. But anyway, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] is a really great combo, although unfortunately, as you said, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is getting more popular.
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u]: I like this combo a lot, even if I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Ezra[/name_u]. If you feel you need a longer middle, then how about [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finnian[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] or [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finbar[/name_m]?
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]: I don’t think it feels out of place at all. I love the name [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and I think the classic [name_m]William[/name_m] suits the more unique [name_m]Otto[/name_m] well. I also like the idea of [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m].
I really like [name_m]Otto[/name_m]! And while it might not be as modern and chic as the other names, the o ending kind of ties them in together. Also, I think that [name_m]Otto[/name_m] will become a little more known in the next couple of years. That might solve the issue of the name feeling a little out of place.
But [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and your favourite, [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], fit really well I think. [name_m]Even[/name_m] more so than [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] or [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], in my opinion.
Hugo [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- I love!! [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is so adorable and it has that funky ‘o’ ending. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] once seemed unusable to me, but now it seems perfectly fine (particularly in the middle) and I dig it! This is my favorite of your combos— the flow is also impeccable, and I can see it working with a surname of basically any length.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]- [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is very cute! It has always seemed a bit incomplete to me, but that’s just personal prefrence. [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] is nice, but I don’t love the flow with [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]— the ‘r’ sounds seem to run into each other. [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] is perfection!
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u]- if it seems incomplete to you, [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_m]Finnian[/name_m], or [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Finlay[/name_u]/Findlay are other options!
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] a lot! [name_m]William[/name_m] is a solid choice for a middle and the flow is nice.
