What are some short boy names that you consider timeless? I love names like [name_m]Dan[/name_m] and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] but don’t really like the longer full names. What are some names like this that can easily stand alone? I like names like [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_u]Neil[/name_u] but these feel a bit dated. I also don’t like names like [name_u]Pax[/name_u] or [name_m]Dax[/name_m] that feel too modern.
Edited to add: I’m open to two syllable names too. I’m liking Owen, Eli, and Roy.
I really love a lot of these but our last name is problematic. It starts with L and ends with S. I had [name_m]Joel[/name_m] on my list for a long time but it is just kind of a tongue twister with our last name. I adore [name_m]Grant[/name_m] but we have a close family friend with the name.
Heath, [name_u]Reid[/name_u] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] are some of my favorites but my husband says no to them. [name_u]Jay[/name_u] was his uncle’s name. I love it but he doesn’t feel comfortable using it.
I feel like there must be some perfect name out there that I’m not thinking of… it seems like all the ones I like don’t work with our last name or my husband dislikes them.
My sister’s fiance is [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] and my husband has a cousin named [name_u]Drew[/name_u]. And our last name is way too similar to [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. Our last name is similar to [name_m]Lewis[/name_m].
