Restructuring: Better or worse?: Boys Edition

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! ,

I realized the other day that half of my list on each side is unisex names I like on both lists. So I decided to add a unisex list and have three lists instead of two. I’d love thoughts on how you think these names work with each other , if they work for both lists and any changes you’d make.

breaking things up is great, i think having a unisex list is also very useful

my favorites:
booker, fox, shep, whit, hart, hawkins, quest, zenith

it’s a no from me:
bing - bingley maybe, bing by itself is a bit … much
bond - a word with no stellar meanings, this could be very awkward
fielding, fielder, hutchins, wheeler, fields, gates, sutherland, townes & co. - these are very surnamey surnames. it’s great if there’s a family connection, but otherwise it’s too much. it’s likely the kid’s name would sound either like a company, or cause a lot of confusion. is your name backwards? where is your first name?
wake - sounds… funerary.
roper - i think i said this last time, but it’s too close to disaster
chapel - as a religious spiritual middle, maybe, but too much as a first, honestly
denim - you have such great and interesting names, please don’t name a kid after pants

sets:
hart, fox, holt, shep, whit :wood: :axe: :muscle: :evergreen_tree:
hawkins, kodiak, hartford, foster :evergreen_tree: :cityscape: - riverdale / twilight town vibes
crawford, dashiell, dutch, gaines, kipton, manning, noble, steele, ferris, chord - rich boy vibes
auburn, cypress, booker, fox, granger, woods, diem, hart, north, yardley - one with nature vibes
auburn, knightley, diem, cypress, merritt - kick butt girls

I think it works! I can still see a lot on the exclusively boys working just fine with the unisex ones as sibs :slight_smile:

A few that could work on both lists for me (as in, they could fit on the unisex list, but could easily stay on the boys too):

  • [name_m]Conway[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Garner[/name_m]
  • [name_u]Vegas[/name_u]

A few that I think would work best on the masc list (for me):

  • [name_m]Hawkins[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Portland[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Slater[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Thorne[/name_m]
  • [name_u]Zeppelin[/name_u]

[name_m]Brewer[/name_m], [name_m]Gaines[/name_m], [name_m]Kipton[/name_m]
[name_u]Slate[/name_u], [name_m]Thatch[/name_m], [name_m]Holt[/name_m]
[name_m]Booker[/name_m], Hutchins, [name_m]Redding[/name_m]

I like the sibsets above with girls- [name_u]Chapel[/name_u], [name_f]Joplin[/name_f], [name_u]Kansas[/name_u], [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u]
or for either sex, [name_u]Merritt[/name_u], [name_u]Knightley[/name_u], [name_m]Dover[/name_m]

I’d add Gambrell, [name_f]Mabry[/name_f], [name_f]Atherton[/name_f], [name_m]Walsh[/name_m], [name_m]Ruston[/name_m], [name_m]Selden[/name_m], Croft, Linen, [name_m]Smith[/name_m], [name_m]Worth[/name_m], [name_m]Deveraux[/name_m], [name_m]Somerset[/name_m]
