August [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]. I’m in love with [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]
[name_u]Atlas[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] is super cool.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] (you listed it twice)
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Reeve[/name_u]. [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] is good. I also like the mix of syllables. Not all two two.
Atlas [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - This name is amazing! I love [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] and the meaning behind the name. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] complements it beautifully and I love how it gives the name a classic and almost aristocratic vibe.
Barnaby [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] is kind of a guilty pleasure for me, but it’s just so handsome and vintage! [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] makes it a little more useable and modern and the repeating ‘a’ sound is really pleasant imo.
Hugo [name_u]Fox[/name_u] - [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is a fantastic name! I usually don’t like [name_u]Fox[/name_u], but here it makes the name so spirited and handsome. The name is just so vivid and lively to me.
Ezra [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] - I love both names and the combo is just flows so well. I would definitely steal this one
Rory [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - This seems like a very useable but characterful name. I love how the names complement each other and while different in style each add something to the vibe of the name.
honorable mentions (because I’m so bad at decisions, and your list is so amazing, sorry!!):
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Endymion[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
sholto felix - a fresh, interesting and spunky sounding name
shiloh barnaby - handsome, meaningful, classic yet timelessly cool. i l o v e it
rafferty ezra - rafferty deserves more love, ezra balances it well. i think both names have the same happy vibe
murphy silas - i was convinced into liking murphy after meeting a little one bearing the name. it wears well and is quite cool! kinda vintage, kinda cool, good for all ages. i personally also love the nickname efi!
jesse peregrine - a classic, soft jesse with a balancing opposing force of the adventurous peregrine. so cool, so sweet, so handsome, what’s not to love!
on tristan - the meaning puts me off, especially as in most romance languages the word for sad has the same roots and sounds quite the same.
on bodhi - i so hear that it’s actually offensive as a given name
([name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are others I like)
Orion [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - A elegant and original name that’s not too out there plus [name_u]Orion[/name_u] goes well with a much more formal and vintage [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! And it’s distinct enough that [name_u]Orion[/name_u] will go well with any popular [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] while still standing out!
Barnaby [name_m]Issac[/name_m] - I have a guilty pleasure for the name [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] but love how it incorporates a popular and well meaning name like [name_m]Issac[/name_m], this combo might be my favorite, so sad I didn’t think od this!
Gideon [name_m]Silas[/name_m] - Something about this name makes me adore it, I’m not usually a fan of the name [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] but I can’t help but love this combo it goes well and flows well
Shiloh [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - I love both names and together I feel it makes for an interesting combo! It’s unique enough but goes well to the point we’re no one would question it but maybe even compliment it!
Sholto [name_m]Felix[/name_m] - I never heard of [name_m]Sholto[/name_m] so I have to put this on the list just because it’s an introduction and I love it, it goes well with [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and I love how you pair unthought of or not used vintage names with more popular ones already used as firsts!
Overall you’re list is good! I feel you should settle on contenders as there’s a lot of repeats and that often helps you take out the maybes and the uncertainty! Some of them should be edited! [name_u]Forest[/name_u] instead of [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] because though while [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Gump is who I think of, he’s named after someone very problematic, I would also change [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Reeve[/name_u] to [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]/Reece, as it’s what I intentionally thought the name was gonna be, and in general I feel it flows better, overall the list is so well done, makes me realize I have to work harder on mine
You have so many amazing combos! However, I think when it comes to loving them the only person that can do that is you. For me, anyway, no matter how much love or criticism people have of a name my own opinion usually won’t budge, but I hope you find some that you love soon!
