Prefixes and suffixes

Boy Names
1

Looking for your help to build some lists of names related by either a common prefix or suffix. I’m mostly focusing on sound, they don’t necessarily need matching spelling.

Prefix example: [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_m]Finnick[/name_m], [name_m]Finian[/name_m], [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_m]Finbar[/name_m], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]

Suffix example: [name_u]Aiden[/name_u], [name_m]Kaiden[/name_m], [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Brayden[/name_u], [name_u]Raiden[/name_u]

Feel free to add to the lists I’ve started if I missed any names, and of course, create new lists! I’m just looking for boy names but anyone is welcome to start another thread for girl names if this interests you :slight_smile:
