Arlo, [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m]

Rufus in particular - the name is certainly masculine, whilst the nickname [name_u]Rue[/name_u]/Ru/Roo is lovely and soft.

Jules is my favorite. But I also have sons others call R0ry and Sa$ha so both of those fit the bill.

I also love [name_m]Joel[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], Loïc, [name_u]Mica[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], and so many more.

@TeaJay [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], yes! I love that name. Definitely soft. I had it on my list for a while, but Americans tend to mispronounce a lot of names, so… :sweat_smile:

@elle123 I love [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]! I haven’t heard [name_m]Laith[/name_m] before, but I like it. Definitely fits soft, but masculine.
