Similar names?

hi!! my boyfriend and i are expecting our first baby together and we’re struggling finding a name for him.

some of our ideas so far are: westley, lincoln, salem, rowan, toby, or jasper but none feel completely right. our favorite from those is westley but my boyfriend thinks that wesley or weston would be easier than westley (i love the princess bride and am definitely more a fan of westley than the other two).

so we’re trying to find names of a similar style/sound/vibe?? to us our list feels very cozy and autumnal so that’s kind of what we’re going for. any names come to mind that we might like?

thank you!!

[name_m]Westley[/name_m] is very charming!! I don’t think it’s too hard to wear :slight_smile:

I personally like [name_m]Westley[/name_m] and he could go by [name_m]Wes[/name_m] or [name_u]West[/name_u].

I agree that [name_m]Westley[/name_m] is better then [name_m]Weston[/name_m] or [name_u]Wesley[/name_u].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the connection to the [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Bride[/name_f]

Would you consider [name_m]Weston[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Westley[/name_m]? It could be a good middle ground for you both and the nickname [name_u]West[/name_u] is really cool! I totally get the preference of [name_m]Westley[/name_m], though!

I like [name_m]Westley[/name_m]! I totally forgot that was from [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Bride[/name_f] but like the correlation.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I so feel you on [name_m]Westley[/name_m]. It’s more magical of a name than [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] or [name_m]Weston[/name_m] because of the [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Bride[/name_f]. But I also agree w/your boyfriend that [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] or [name_m]Weston[/name_m] is easier.
