Pending adoption, it's a boy!

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Just[/name_m] learned the baby I’m waiting to adopt is a boy! Of course, I was set on a girl name…

So boy names!!

I like names with strong meanings. I especially like biblical names for boys. Nothing too common or simple. Prefer longer names and nicknames.

A few favourites:
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m]

Thoughts? Suggestions based on my likes above?

I adore [name_m]Judah[/name_m]! The others are nice, but none of them appeal to me like he does. :slight_smile: He’s one of my favorites.

I’m not sure I can think of others along that vein? [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Henrik[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]/[name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]/[name_m]Gavriel[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] are coming to mind, but I’m not sure they really fit? I also like [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] from your list, and I think [name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] is really cool.

Good luck, and congratulations on your adoption!
