*[name]Zander[/name] -new favorite! (don’t like [name]Alexander[/name])
*[name]Devlin[/name] -also another new favorite, something really catches my eye on this one, also love the meaning (fierce, brave)
*[name]Damian[/name] -love this name, but one of my fiancés friends little boy has this name, is it off limits? any suggestions of names similar to [name]Damian[/name]?
Old favorites, but help needed…
*[name]Oliver[/name] -still love this, wondering if the last letter ® would run into our last name ([name]Wright[/name])??
*[name]Elijah[/name] -like this name, but we are not religious, so not sure I want to use a name associated with religion.
The ‘r’ at the end of names like [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Connor[/name] is subtle–I don’t think it’s a major problem if they’re followed by [name]Wright[/name]. But a name like [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Allegra[/name] would definitely cause a bit of a stumble. Since you’re focused on boy names, you shouldn’t have many problems.
[name]Zander[/name] is an interesting one. It’s the type that people might ask if it’s short for [name]Alexander[/name] a lot though, so you’d have to be prepared for that.
[name]Devlin[/name] isn’t my style, but I prefer it to the ubiquitous [name]Declan[/name]. What about [name]Devon[/name]?
[name]Damian[/name] - what about [name]Darien[/name] or [name]Darius[/name]?
I love [name]Liam[/name], though it is getting popular, same with [name]Oliver[/name], just depends on how much it bothers you.
I love [name]Elijah[/name], but I like [name]Eli[/name] more. Does the simpler version also read as too religious to you?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Evander[/name] ([name]Vander[/name])
[name]Damian[/name] - [name]Damon[/name], [name]Damien[/name]
[name]Devlin[/name] - [name]Devin[/name], [name]Bevan[/name], [name]Kelvin[/name]
[name]Connor[/name] & [name]Oliver[/name] sound fine with [name]Wright[/name], don’t think you need to worry.
[name]Liam[/name] & [name]Oliver[/name] are very popular in my area, both great names but for me I prob wouldn’t use because of this.
[name]Zander[/name] – Not my swag. I love [name]Alexander[/name] so much more. [name]Zander[/name] doesn’t feel like a grown-up name.
[name]Devlin[/name] – Feels a little feminine to me. I think it works fine as a boys’ name, but in my mind is sounds like a scary devil vixen with a barbed tail. Yeah I know I make no sense.
[name]Damian[/name] – I like it! A lot. A little more [name]Wall[/name] [name]Street[/name] than fun and boyish, but I like it.
[name]Oliver[/name] – I like it, but I wonder if it grows up well. It keeps me from loving it, but I still like it.
[name]Elijah[/name] – [name]Don[/name]'t care about the religious ties. It’s a beautiful, wonderful, amazing name. Absolute favorite on the list. It just sounds perfect. It’s got a warmth and weight to it that I just love. Perfect.
[name]Connor[/name] – Classic and sweet. A very good name, but I’m not head over heels.
[name]Liam[/name]
