Fox-7/10 love how it sounds but worry about the practical use of it
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]-9/10 love this one too! But also worry about it feeling very attached to the literary character
[name_u]Milo[/name_u]-6/10 never been to attracted to this name but understand the appeal
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]-5/10 It feels like a dog’s name to me and I don’t see it aging well! I know that it’s an old name but it feels trendy to me
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]-7/10 I like this one a lot but with my lisp, I struggle to say it! I think it’s such a familiar but unexpected name
[name_u]August[/name_u]-9/10 love this one a lot!
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]-6/10 Very neutral to this one but understand it’s appeal
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]-6/10 I think it’s nice but see it feeling like a very biblical name
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]-7/10 I like this one a lot! It feels like a nice twist on short names but isn’t just like an [name_u]Avi[/name_u] or [name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]-6/10 a nameberry favorite but makes me think of the bad guy in The Vampire Diaries lol!

Fox - 10/10. one of my favorite names! It’s so sweet, handsome, and cool. I think it fits in nicely with other currently popular nature/animal/word names! Also it sounds familiar thanks to similarities with names like [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_u]Pax[/name_u], [name_m]Dex[/name_m], etc!
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - 8/10. I love the literary association. I also really love the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. It’s just been getting very popular and a bit too trendy for me lately.
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] - 10/10. another one of my favorites! I think [name_u]Milo[/name_u] is the absolute sweetest. It makes me smile everytime I hear it.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - 9/10. cool, cute, sweet! I love the sound of it too!
[name_u]Seth[/name_u] - 8/10. I’ve always really liked [name_u]Seth[/name_u]! there’s just something so soft about it.
[name_u]August[/name_u] - 10/10. I love this name so much, it’s also one of my favorites! It’s handsome and sweet, and I think any type of person can wear it well!
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] - 6/10. not my personal style, but I can see the appeal. It’s a very strong name! I like nicknames [name_u]Solo[/name_u] and [name_u]Sol[/name_u].
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] - 7/10. I realllly like the sound [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]! It’s such an adorable, cool name. A bit too biblical sounding for my tastes though.
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] - 7/10. such a soft, sweet name!! It’s both handsome and adorable!
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] - 6/10. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] is nice, I like the nature connection. There’s just something stopping me from loving the sound though!

I really like silas, atticus and [name_u]August[/name_u] are on my short list, and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] is my absolute favorite boys name I think you have great taste and may also like [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], or even [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] as they are also some of my favorite soft boy names

Randomdude555 · August 5, 2020, 10:43am

Fox 1/10 not my style and I can only think of the animal.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] 9/10 I think it’s cool
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] 5/10
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] 2/10 not my style
[name_u]Seth[/name_u] 5/10
[name_u]August[/name_u] 7/10 I like it but I prefer [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] as [name_u]August[/name_u] makes me think about the month
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] 4/10 in Finland where I live there is a clothing brand named [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] so I only think of that
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] 1/10 very weird to me, I have never heard it before
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] 5/10
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] 7/10

Fox - 6/10 super cute but hard to imagine on a grown man imho. Maybe best as a middle.

Atticus- 7/10 lovely, handsome and charming. Maybe a little too tied to To Kill a Mockingbird but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Milo - 7/10 cute but also smart, i really love [name_u]Milo[/name_u] although it’s getting pretty popular :((

Arlo - 4/10 despite it’s similar sound to [name_u]Milo[/name_u] I just have never been a massive fan of [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] it sounds like a brand name or something to me.

Seth - 7/10 i love [name_u]Seth[/name_u], I think it’s absolutely charming. It feels a bit nicknamey though.

August - 10/10 love love love this name!!

Solomon - 5/10 not really my style but i think its a smart, handsome name.

Boaz - 2/10 i just don’t like the way this looks written down, i see Boat or Boar it just doesn’t look like a name to me personally.

Asa - 7/10 I really like [name_u]Asa[/name_u] it’s got such a sparkle to it.

Silas - 8/10 i feel like [name_m]Silas[/name_m] gets a lot of hate but i actually really like it, i think it’s familiar without being too out there. The only thing that puts me off is that it sounds a bit like [name_f]Silence[/name_f].
