My husband and I have agreed on this shortlist of names, but we’re having trouble narrowing it down! We have middle names picked for some but not all. Any thoughts on favorites??
I think [name_m]John[/name_m] works in the middle spot for each name except [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. For him, I might suggest [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
Congratulations!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite of your options is by far [name_u]Milo[/name_u].
It sounds so lovely, warm, gentle, quirky, and bold.
I also like [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], with its lovely nature meaning. I like its option of the funky nickname [name_m]Rocky[/name_m].
[name_u]Miles[/name_u] is nice as well, but doesn’t do as much for me as [name_u]Milo[/name_u].
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is lovely, but feels very “country boy” to me, compared to your others - this isn’t my style, but it may be yours.
My overall ranking would be:
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] > [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] > [name_u]Miles[/name_u] > [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]
Roscoe is my favourite, it’s cool & familiar but not overused, and [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] is a sweet nickname! I like the idea of [name_u]Miles[/name_u] with [name_u]Milo[/name_u] as a nickname too. [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is my least favourite, I think it is a little bit feminine, how about [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] or [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] “[name_m]Cash[/name_m]”?
My favourite is [name_u]Miles[/name_u], then [name_u]Milo[/name_u], then [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], then [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
Miles - I LOVE [name_u]Miles[/name_u], it’s recognisable, unlikely there will be any spelling/pronunciation issues and works for a person of any age.
Milo - pretty much the same as [name_u]Miles[/name_u], only slightly more childish sounding? I think [name_u]Miles[/name_u] nn [name_u]Milo[/name_u] could work if you want, but there’s no real issues with it
Cassidy - I like the name, and [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] is a lovely combination but my issue is that [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is a lot more popular on girls currently, and if I hear of someone called [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] I would assume they’re a girl. [name_u]Cass[/name_u] is a very handsome nickname however. If you don’t see it as an issue in your area, then there’s no reason not to use it
Roscoe - honestly, just not my style. I like nn [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] though!
Miles [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] could work if you like both names? So could [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]?
Miles
[name_u]Milo[/name_u]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
I’ve never hear [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] for a boy? I don’t think I could ever name my son that. I would never guess it was a unisex name. I know 5 [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]’s that are girls from my tiny hometown and college town so I’d imagine that would be the case in other areas. [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], or [name_m]Casper[/name_m] could work? [name_u]Cass[/name_u] sounds less feminine. [name_u]Miles[/name_u] I don’t think will ever go out of style, it’s pretty popular but I’d use it. I think it ages really well. [name_u]Milo[/name_u] is a close second but I think as an adult, [name_u]Miles[/name_u] would be better than [name_u]Milo[/name_u]. [name_u]Milo[/name_u] could be a nickname for [name_u]Miles[/name_u]? [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] isn’t bad, it’s pretty uncommon I think I’ve only met one [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] before and he’s in his 30’s. [name_u]Rocco[/name_u] or [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] would be a good nickname.
I actually really like all of these, but I think [name_u]Milo[/name_u] is sweet and combines parts of [name_u]Miles[/name_u] & [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], so it feels better than either of those to me, and [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] nn [name_u]Cass[/name_u] is so refreshing and spunky on a boy!
I love [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] and [name_u]Milo[/name_u] equally, but I think [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] edges just ahead for me because of its uniqueness.
I love [name_u]Miles[/name_u] most, [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] being my second pick. Not a fan of [name_u]Milo[/name_u] or [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], personally.
This is tough, these names are all incredible [name_u]Love[/name_u] your laid back, old school style.
I absolutely adore [name_u]Cass[/name_u], and it’s refreshing to see [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] considered for a boy again, so I’m going to rank that first. [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] “[name_u]Cass[/name_u]” gives me super cool, slightly bohemian, [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Kerouac[/name_m] kind of vibes.
Second [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. It’s smart and handsome, with the cool jazz connection. Something like [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] or [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u] would be awesome. ([name_u]Or[/name_u] yes, even [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_m]Kerouac[/name_m], since I’m getting that vibe from your list!)
Third [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] “[name_m]Rocky[/name_m]”. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], it’s charming and rugged and mischievous and cool. [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] is a fun nickname.
Milo last. I really like it, but it’s cuter and less effortlessly cool than your other names to me, it feels perhaps a little trendy and definitely younger than the other names on your list. But it’s still a playful and slightly quirky choice.
Cassidy is my absolutely favourite. It’s lovely and very refreshing to think of it making a comeback for boys. It gives me very nature and surfer boy vibes
Milo-This name is really adorable. Smart, quirky, simple, not too terribly popular. Rising up the charts a little bit.
Roscoe-I’m usually not into this name or [name_m]Rocky[/name_m], but it’s so interesting & unexpected that I like the idea of it if you do. It’s kind of artsy & macho at the same time.
Miles-This is fine. It’s not as fun as [name_u]Milo[/name_u], & I hear it a lot.
Cassidy [name_m]John[/name_m]-I like [name_u]Cass[/name_u]. It’s cool & simple & fresh. [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is used too much for girls though. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspar[/name_m]?
Miles - spunky and fun!
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] - also fun
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] - this one is cool and quirky
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] - I’m not a fan of its sound
