I have a pretty extensive list of favourite names, which I really need to reduce. I’ve listed my Top 25 here. I know it’s heaps, but I’m hoping you’ll be able to choose your five favourites from this bunch - five names you’d love to see on a little boy. And if you wanted to put together a couple of cute sibsets, I wouldn’t complain. Thanks heaps, girls
Only 5? But there are so many great ones! My five favourites are [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. But for five brothers I’d have:
I struggle with middle names :s But I like how those five FNs are similar in length, are all two syllable and have a similar classic/vintage feel to them. You have a lovely boys list!
I don’t think I can do a Top 5, but here’s a Top 10:
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
Great list once again! I’ve narrowed them down into groups like I did with the girls.
Names I love and would use in the first name spot:
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] Almost a top 5…
Names I love and would use in the middle name spot:
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
Names I like but wouldn’t use:
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] - old man name, not a fan of [name_m]Al[/name_m] or [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] as nicknames
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - same as above
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] - again [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - great alternative to [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]!
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] - love Mr. [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], but his name is too feminine for a first name
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] - ok, but feels dull [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] - love, but hate [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is ok
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] - fuddy duddy [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - love, classic
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - ok, prefer [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] but connotations like p-u arent very good for a lil kid
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u] - prefer [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u], like the [name_u]River[/name_u], seems to be more prevalent spelling
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] - never like it, [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-is or Luee, feels old, but not even ‘old man’ name
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] - too trendy
[name_m]Marco[/name_m] - ok, but prefer [name_m]Mark[/name_m], see below
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] - with very culture specific names, it feels weird to be introduced to a kid with a different cultures and name and its glaringly obvious
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] - classic but too many bad conotations, skip [name_u]Reed[/name_u] - ok
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - fuddy duddy, Grint didnt bring it into modern times [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - trendy but nice
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] - sounds like a stuck up/rich kid name [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] - over the top, use as a middle like [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] Christensen lol
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - getting a lot of use right now
[name_u]Toby[/name_u] - like it, but feels too cute and cuddle for a man
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] - fuddy duddy, hate the [name_u]Wally[/name_u] nickname [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] - classic, [name_m]Wes[/name_m] is a good nickname
Great list, [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]! Not that that was a surprise… I love your style.
