I am feeling extremely ‘blah’ in regards to boy names lately, so I’ve been poring over lists on Nameberry to try and get some inspiration. Along with some older favorites, I found a couple of new, interesting names. Still not real warm to any one in particular, thus I’m hoping that seeing them in first/middle combos might help me get more attached.
If you have any comments on a particular name, or name suggestions, throw them at me. I am very much in a boy name rut. Thanks in advance!
I love many of your names! I literally just tried every first and middle combo possible from your lists and these were the names I thought worked best. It’s a long list. I put an asterisk by my very favorites!

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Armand[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Abram[/name_m]* (It’s so hard to find a middle name that goes with [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this!)
[name_m]Johann[/name_m] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]

[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Abram[/name_m]*
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Willem[/name_m]* (gotta love the nickname “[name_m]Wild[/name_m] [name_m]Bill[/name_m]”)
Bonus name: [name_m]Rainier[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] (I know you put [name_m]Rainier[/name_m] as a middle only, but I’ve been in love with this name for ages now and my husband doesn’t want to use [name_m]Rainier[/name_m] as a first since we are from [name_m]Washington[/name_m] state!)
Wonderful names I paired up my favourites, but I especially love [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Penn[/name_m] and [name_m]Thorin[/name_m]! (And Owl!) I love the classy with a shot of excitement feel in these names. They feel like world travelers.
@araminty: All of those combos do sound great together. Thank you!
@oftenoverseas: It’s funny you say that about [name_m]Rainier[/name_m]. I’m also a Washingtonian I might consider it as a first name though still living here does give me pause on it. It’s possible I might be moving states in the next few years though, so, down the line it could be more usable. And yes, yes, it is very hard to find middle names for [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]. I really like [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] a lot but I’d never been able to find a good combo for him. (Another issue being last name… which is also one syllable. [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] sounds fine with it as [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] LastName but the middle name is tougher).
@columbiacharm: Owls are my favorite animal, as anyone who knows me is (painfully) aware of. The house might have… a few owl things in it. I’m not sure if using it as a name is over the top but I thought it’d be a cute, meaningful middle. I am lacking boys names that have special meaning to me so at least I have that one. Thanks for all the combos! They do kind of have a world traveler feel like you say. Honestly that comment does make me feel warmer to them than before.
I want to say I love Owl for a middle! I just didn’t happen to pair it with any but I think it would pair well with a lot of your names. Great choices!
Thank you! It’s a bit funky but I think it’d be a creative MN. I love owls and always have… and well, they connote wisdom so I like thinking of that being in my son’s name somewhere as a good meaning.
