[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

Any opinions on my below list, or any further suggestions, would be massively appreciated! Look forward to hearing them…

Naming style: classic, internationally-influenced and uber-boho/hippy!

My current top 4 as it stands:

Guto [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] - Guto is meant to be pronounced GI-taw in Welsh but I would pronounce it the English way, Git-oh

[name_m]Owain[/name_m] [name_u]Joss[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Joss[/name_u], but I would worry it would get mixed up with [name_m]Josh[/name_m] (which I dislike, just because of the popularity!) as a FN. I’m not sure how well [name_m]Owain[/name_m] (Ow-ein) would go down outside of [name_m]Wales[/name_m]…

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] - Does this sound too much like an adult actress?! I love [name_f]Eve[/name_f] as a MN too much to remove from my list!

[name_f]Effy[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - I love how made-up-but-not-made-up [name_f]Effy[/name_f] sounds and I love the way a modern FN and a classic/old fashioned MN come together here

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Nash[/name_m] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f] are the next in line!

All names have to pass the Dad-test! Nothing too ‘American’ or crazily out-there. Names like [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], etc. wouldn’t make it past my dad! I love super unusual names that sound beautiful when said and look sparkly when written down. Some examples I have seen: [name_m]Rowdy[/name_m], [name_u]Dusty[/name_u], [name_f]Bambi[/name_f], [name_f]Briar[/name_f] etc.

Also- I love a good monosyllabic MN as much as the next person!

I love my name ([name_f]Harriet[/name_f]), and so I would love to find a name that a child would grow up being happy they had!

The Welsh names could be difficult outside of [name_m]Wales[/name_m] for sure. [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Joss[/name_u] would be lovely. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is gorgeous and not porn-star-y. I like the [name_f]Effy[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] combo but not sure how [name_f]Effy[/name_f] would age over time.

I love even more of the names in your signature, like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_f]Fenella[/name_f].

Suggestions:
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Lev[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]

[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Petunia[/name_f]
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]!

My brother’s name is [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - I picked his name, so of course I’m partial to it :slight_smile:
