Why is it so much harder finding a wonderful boys name than a girls name? I love girls names, but when I turn to Boys names, they just don’t seem to be as much fun.
I came to this conclusion: I just haven’t found the right boys names.
Berries I need your help! What are the most magical, wonderful, boys names that you know?
I like:
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] “[name_m]Eddy[/name_m]”
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] /[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] / [name_m]Milo[/name_m] / [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] (but I read a book with a character named [name_u]Kai[/name_u] so not sure if I like the name or the character)
Help me Berries! Show me the wonderful boys names that must be out there somewhere
My guilty pleasure is [name_m]Kian[/name_m] [name_u]Andre[/name_u]. I love it. I am a mom of boys and if our next baby is a boy I dunno what we would name him as we are running out on ones we can agree on.
That’s a nice name, but I know guys named [name_m]Kian[/name_m] and [name_u]Andre[/name_u] and both of them are awful. I like [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_u]Drew[/name_u] though!
I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] although I don’t think I’d be daring enough to use them!
Ones on my mind right now:
[name_m]Alastair[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
[name_m]Elihu[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
My favorites are:
Macsen - This has been my #1 for like 6 years
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]
Avens
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]

My grandpa’s name is [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Eddie[/name_m]! I think it’s a really cute name. I second [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]. Here are some others of my suggestions:
[name_m]Oswin[/name_m] or [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m])
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Alfie[/name_u])

I second [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], he’s my number one boys name! Other names that are exciting to me are
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]

Good luck! I have the same issue, then once I fall for a boys name I have a really hard time coming up with exciting combos!
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are great names, I love both of them! They both bear strong ties to literature, both great characters in powerful, magical, wonderful stories in magical, wonderful, intriguing worlds! These are great choices, I think, and it’s hard to find others that would fit in that category. Off the top of my head:
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]. I hear this name, I think a skinny, nerdy guy with pale hair and skin, big glasses, and knobby elbows and knees. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Thatch[/name_m], from Disney’s animated movie [name_f]Atlantis[/name_f]; this story is incredible, the character, strong and passionate and honest and humble and brave and willing to take a stand for a righteous cause.
I love the name [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]. I have no idea what it’s associated to, besides an adorable kid at my church, but this name rings so strongly of honor and passion and a rarely seen wild side. I especially love it pared as a middle name with first names [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], or [name_u]Jordan[/name_u].
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]. This is a Greek name, meaning dark-red, and definitely has that quality to it. A wild mixture of dark and light and cold and hot, this name is the name of a mythic bird that rose from the ashes, a symbol of immortality.
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]. I know this name only as the pale skinned dark-haired son of Hades/[name_m]Pluto[/name_m] in [name_m]Rick[/name_m] [name_m]Riordan[/name_m]'s two series of books revolving around Greek mythology and the many gods the ancient Greeks worshipped. Since reading the first couple of books in [name_m]Riordan[/name_m]'s [name_u]Hero[/name_u]'s of [name_m]Olympus[/name_m] series, I have loved this name, and several others I associate with it, such as [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f].
[name_m]Draco[/name_m]. I am not a [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] fan, but this name has me mesmerized; despite the association to the less than popular character in these books and movies, I’m still drawn to it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] recently I watched a rather dated movie, called Dragon Heart, in which a knight of the ‘old code’ gives this name to the dragon whom has joined the efforts to overthrow the wicked king Inan.
[name_u]Hero[/name_u]. What other name sounds more powerful, brave, or true? This name has associations to just about every good thing there is or has been.
[name_m]Zero[/name_m]. This name is incredible to me because of it’s association to the Disney animated classic [name_m]Hercules[/name_m] and the song sung by the muses. [name_m]Zero[/name_m] to [name_u]Hero[/name_u].
[name_m]Benno[/name_m].
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m], as in the dashing, rogue, and playful character in [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]'s Much [name_f]Ado[/name_f] About Nothing.
[name_m]Arrow[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], & [name_m]Beau[/name_m].
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Abram[/name_m], [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m], [name_m]Washington[/name_m], and [name_m]Jefferson[/name_m].
[name_m]Andreas[/name_m].
D’Artagnan, Athos, [name_m]Aramis[/name_m], [name_m]Porthos[/name_m], [name_m]Dumas[/name_m], [name_m]Monte[/name_m], & [name_m]Cristos[/name_m].
[name_m]Frederico[/name_m].
[name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], & [name_f]Lark[/name_f].
[name_u]Jude[/name_u].
[name_m]Ace[/name_m], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_m]Chasen[/name_m].
[name_m]Holden[/name_m].
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u] and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m].
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] & [name_m]Ryder[/name_m], [name_m]Striker[/name_m]/Stryker
[name_m]Jove[/name_m], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], & [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]
[name_m]Ward[/name_m].
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] & [name_m]Bruin[/name_m].
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Roux[/name_u]/[name_u]Rue[/name_u], & [name_u]Remy[/name_u]/[name_u]Remi[/name_u].
[name_m]Drake[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u], & [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]/[name_u]Blaze[/name_u].
[name_m]Marco[/name_m].
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m].
[name_m]Vince[/name_m]. [name_m]Virgil[/name_m]. [name_m]Victor[/name_m]. [name_m]Valor[/name_m].
Here are some of my favorite boy names:
Dodger (not many people like this though)
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
Pipsan (possibly better on a girl)
[name_m]Aldous[/name_m]
Thanks everyone! From these last few posters, I like:
[name_m]Oswin[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] “[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]”, [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] (which reminded me of [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] which I like), [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Ryder[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]/[name_m]Roman[/name_m].
@sadiejosephine About [name_m]Zero[/name_m], I was in a play once and I was the muse [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and I totally remember, “[name_m]Zero[/name_m] to [name_u]Hero[/name_u] in no time flat, [name_m]Zero[/name_m] to [name_u]Hero[/name_u] just like that!” About [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]: I’m actually in the middle of reading Much [name_f]Ado[/name_f] About Nothing right now! Thanks for all the names!
