I’ve been a namenerd for almost all of my life now, but it’s time to get a bit more realistic…
We’re expecting our first child together in [name_f]April[/name_f], and we haven’t figured out a name yet. We know we’re having a boy. I’m just gonna post our list here, these are the names we agree on, but it’s still very long. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to comment, rate or suggest more names.
My favourites are:
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] with nn [name_m]Moss[/name_m]
[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
Here are some ideas for combinations
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]- [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] makes a great middle name

[name_m]Moses[/name_m] [name_m]Constant[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

[name_m]Eustace[/name_m]

I like…
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] (on my GP list, but with the nn “[name_m]Moe[/name_m]”)
[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
If you don’t mind, could you either share the surname or describe it (the number of syllables, what it starts and ends with, what sound are prominent)? Not trying to be nosy, but I know I can often rule out/make suggestions based on the surname.
I’d use these as first names
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] (but not [name_m]Moss[/name_m])
[name_u]August[/name_u]
maybe [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u], depending on the surname
maybe [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], depending on the surname
and any of the rest as middle names. I especially love [name_m]Clement[/name_m] as a middle name - it’s so handsome and uncommon, but personally I really dislike the nickname [name_u]Clem[/name_u], which I fear would be inevitable if it was a first name. [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] is so handsome too, but I could see it being potentially a hard one to carry as a first name depending on where you live and whether for example his classmates would have encountered it anywhere else before.
Great names!
My favorites are:
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] (love the nn [name_m]Chuck[/name_m])
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] (love this name, but it might be a bit hard to pull off)
[name_m]Warren[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] (love the nn [name_m]Zeek[/name_m])
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Neville[/name_m]
I like:
[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] – my favourite. So handsome and underused.
[name_m]Neville[/name_m] – handsome!
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] – its popularity is very discouraging, though. I love the nn [name_u]Nico[/name_u].
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] – see [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m].
[name_u]August[/name_u] – handsome!
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] – see [name_u]August[/name_u].
I love [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] or [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is a great name. Handsome and classic.
Some great names.
