Opinions on these names? Not needed anytime soon just would love open honesty about them.
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] because it honors my dad who was born during the [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] 11 mission and who passed away recently. Sort of like an indirect tribute. [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] because it was going to be my name if I turned out to be a boy.
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]-You know, [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is not my personal favorite. It’s a lot to live up to, and just a little bit too out there. That being said, I love the tribute to your dad and the flow of [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] is very stunning.
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u]- [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] is so charming. I kind of like it as a nn for [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], but [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] isn’t nearly as adorable as just [name_u]Alfie[/name_u]. I guess it’s fine on its own. I’m in the U.S, so I would be delighted to meet an [name_u]Alfie[/name_u]. It may be a little more tired in the UK. Not sure where you are.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]-Such a handsome combination! Although, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is just as nice. [name_m]Henry[/name_m], however, is so so over done. I love it w/the nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m] mostly, which would make it stand out a bit.
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]: I love the significance behind [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]! Like another poster said, it’s not for everyone, but there’s always the nickname [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]. Or if you gave him a J middle name, AJ. [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] sounds good too though!
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] - Really cute name! I like the edgier [name_u]Reed[/name_u] with the sweet [name_u]Alfie[/name_u].
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] - My least favorite, I love [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] but [name_m]Henry[/name_m] feels overused to me, I know way too many little ones.
Overall, my favorite is [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], though I’d prefer it with a J middle name to make it more approachable. Good luck!
Isn’t Aflie just to die for? I’m in the U.S. too, so [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] is almost unheard of in my experience. I love just [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] instead of [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], as I think [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] is just more modern.
My friend came up with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and I love it. I loved [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and then I found out it was pretty popular so I gave up and then she told me this name and I loved the mix of classic with a kind of bold middle name. I’m so sad to learn that [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is popular, too. I love your suggestion of [name_m]Hank[/name_m]. I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Oooh, I love [name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_u]Alfie[/name_u]. Although one of my friend’s is called [name_u]Reid[/name_u] so that may be too coincidental I suppose.
Where I’m from I haven’t met anyone named [name_m]Henry[/name_m] that I can remember, but it’s still popular in other places which makes me so sad.
I would love the nickname AJ if I didn’t have a friend and a cousin called [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Jr[/name_m], respectively. However, I have heard of one family calling their son [name_u]Poe[/name_u] as a nn for [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], which is cute imo. But I do love [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]! I wouldn’t have thought of it if not for you. Thank you so much for your advice!
