[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone, I was wondering if you could give me some opinions on my current boys list. I warn you, it is rather short so I would also be greatful for some more suggestions!
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] – I am partial to this name seeing as it’s a big family name for me. I do like it though. It is classic and masculine. I saw another person posted on here that [name_u]Ari[/name_u] was a nn she was going to use for [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. I really like [name_u]Ari[/name_u] as opposed to [name_m]Artie[/name_m].
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] – This name is growing on me. I tend to like more formal sounding first names that have an obvious nn option. This is a perfect example of that. It’s not my favorite name out there, but it is definitely a solid name.
[name_m]Hector[/name_m] – Not a fan of this.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] – I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], for the same reasons as [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is just the cutest nickname for a little boy too.
[name_m]William[/name_m] – I wouldn’t use it because it’s a little too common for my taste. But this name has stood the test of time, so it’s obviously a good choice
[name_m]Cyril[/name_m] – [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like.
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] – This name is ok, but I much prefer [name_m]Leonard[/name_m]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] have the [name_m]Leo[/name_m] nn, but [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] is much less cold than [name_m]Leopold[/name_m].
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] – No, don’t like.
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u] – I like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] if you use the full name [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. I’m not really a fan of nicknames as given names.
Some similar names are:
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Richard[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Webster[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]Morris[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] – love
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] – prefer [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], as it has less spelling variants
[name_m]Hector[/name_m] – could be really cool, depends on your last name
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] – like
[name_m]William[/name_m] – a classic
[name_m]Cyril[/name_m] – don’t like this one as well
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] – how do you feel about [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] or [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]? Like both of those a little better.
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] – my least favorite on the list
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u] – as a nn for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]? [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]!!!
ETA I don’t think your list is too short. You’ve got some great choices on there already!
I like your list a lot! I would just get rid of [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] because you already have [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] for which [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] could be a nickname. The rest of your names are all more formal than [name_u]Freddie[/name_u].
I love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Cyril[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], and [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m]. And [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]William[/name_m]. So that’s all of them except for [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. I love [name_u]Max[/name_u] but this version feels a bit hoighty-toighty to me…
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - I really love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] just makes me happy
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - very nice, great name
[name_m]William[/name_m] - love it, great classic
[name_m]Cyril[/name_m] - not my favorite I admit, I like [name_m]Basil[/name_m] and [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] but [name_m]Cyril[/name_m] sounds too much like cereal for me
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] - feels a bit pretentious to me though I do like it.
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Wil[/name_m] so I think it’s usable, but it’s not really my favorite, but if you like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] as well I can see it being a nice option
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] - I’ve never been a big fan of this one, it’s by no means terrible, just not my style
[name_m]Hector[/name_m] - really don’t like this one, all I hear is heck! I’d prefer [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], [name_m]Hubert[/name_m]
