Ozias - thoughts, opinions and pairings

Boy Names

Hello everyone!

A while back I posted after some thoughts on the name [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]. Our journey to baby is still an ongoing process and in that time we’ve had some other names come across our radar that we’re interested in hearing others thoughts on :blush:

So, with that being said, we have a little guy who is nearly 3 named [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. We LOVE his name. We love the meaning and it suits him to a tee. We had the name [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] as our second for a very long time, but now I’m not so sure. I keep thinking about the name [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] and I’m wondering what others think of it? It’s less heard of than [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] and I’m not sure if it suits [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] a bit more being a rarer name.

As for middles, again I’m drawing blanks. Some names I like for this this spot -

[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Micah[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]

Open to other suggestions for this spot too, or even just some other first names you would pair with [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] as a sibling :blush:

Thank you kindly!

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Ozias[/name_m]! Definitely more rare than [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] (and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] for that matter), but I think the sounds are quite familiar. I also think [name_m]Oz[/name_m] / [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] makes it more approachable.

For middles, I quite like [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] helps to ground [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] a bit, while [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] adds to its flair!

Other middle names:

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Elliot[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Florian[/name_m]
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Clement[/name_m]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Ozias[/name_m]! Distinctive, cool, sharp, and unexpected - and literary too (Ozias Midwinter from Armadale - a fave character). Plus, it gives you nicknames [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m], Zye, and [name_m]Oz[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] are brilliant!

I’d suggest:

[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Ralph[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Jude[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Rory[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Drew[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] is super cute! [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] is interesting; I wasn’t familiar with its connection as a variant of [name_m]Uzziah[/name_m]. [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] has a much more positive story than Ozias’s ending, and I admit I like [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] or [name_m]Josias[/name_m] more than [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] myself; I’m not a big [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] fan. [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_m]Amias[/name_m], I’m a big [name_m]Amias[/name_m] fan, and [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] and [name_m]Amias[/name_m] remind me of each other a lot.

I do think that [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] go together really well, though (I also think [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] would be a brilliant brother for [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and I love [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] nn Mac!). [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] is nice; so is [name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. I’m a big [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] fan!

Good luck!
