I’m having a little boy in [name_u]June[/name_u] and I’m really stuck for names right now. I have a short list so far, and I don’t really love any of them:
Esca [name_m]Charles[/name_m] - I’m not sure if it’s too strange or outdated.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] - [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] was my dad and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] was my grandad. I love them both, so out of everything this one is my favorite
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]/[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] - too girly? I just really love the sound of it on a boy, and I’ve never really heard of anyone called [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] so maybe it could work? I’d rather have honest opinions from you guys before making an actual decision on these two names.
[name_m]Zane[/name_m] - [name_m]Zane[/name_m] is my current favorite boys name, but I’m kind of worried about the references to Zayn from One Direction. I mean, I love the guy but he’s not why I love the name, you know?
I prefer [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]. [name_m]Zane[/name_m] is a fine, just not really my style. I would worry about Esca being constantly asked whether he said [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] sounds quite girly to me. I realize that spices are genderless, but I would definitely raise my eyebrows if I met a boy named [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]. I would have a similar reaction to [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] with an added curiosity as to whether the name was a nod to an author I rather dislike. And I can’t bring myself to suggest you spell it [name_f]Safire[/name_f], which would bring to mind a truly magnificent writer and also seems slightly more masculine.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] is a very nice name. I like Esca and [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] better than [name_m]Zane[/name_m]. [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] is very feminine.
I vote for [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], it’s such a handsome but not very common name. I am sure every boy would like the great [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] reference. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any other middle name ideas? I don’t really like how [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] flows with [name_f]Frances[/name_f], honestly.
Esca is unusual, could you tell me more about it? [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is fine.
I feel that [name_m]Zane[/name_m] is very It-sounding. It’s a name as cool as you can get though, I know a cute little [name_m]Zane[/name_m] and he is is so adorable.
I don’t think [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] is too girly. I can see a handsome smarthy eastern prince, a la [name_m]Aladdin[/name_m] with that name. [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], though, is definitely more suitable for girls.
