This is so my style! Or at least, a good chunk of it—my boys’ list is very eclectic lol. I have on my list, as either firsts or middles:

Avery
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_m]Torin[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u]
[name_u]Schuyler[/name_u]

I also love [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Addison[/name_u] (!!!), [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], [name_u]Courtney[/name_u] (grew up knowing a couple of these—[name_u]Courtney[/name_u] is so great on a guy!), [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] (MACKENZIE!), etc., too. [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] are great, too, although I’d use them as nns for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u]. :heart:

With the help of some people here my boy list recently got narrowed down to:

Astronomical: [name_u]Skye[/name_u], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], ([name_u]Aquila[/name_u]),
[name_u]Science[/name_u]: [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_u]Nature[/name_u]: [name_u]Bay[/name_u], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f],
Literary: [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Bronte[/name_f], [name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_f]Virtue[/name_f]: [name_u]Honor[/name_u], [name_u]Haven[/name_u],
Classical:
Middles only: [name_m]Alexander[/name_m],
Under consideration: [name_f]Kerrin[/name_f],

A lot of names did not make the list, not because I don’t like them but because I had too many. I love [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] for a boy, [name_f]Jade[/name_f] would be cool (I can picture a male musician with that name).

I adore soft names on boys… they’re such a dream.

From your list I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u]!

Arden is a personal favourite of mine for a boy. I also like [name_u]Arlen[/name_u] (which is sliiightly more masculine but also gives me the same vibes)

My favourite girly boys names:
[name_u]Fallon[/name_u]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] (I don’t understand why this is gendered in the first place, it’s a season! I think it should be unisex and it’s so beautiful on a boy :heart_eyes: )
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] (if you like [name_u]Blair[/name_u]!)
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]/Piper
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u] (especially as a nn for [name_m]Evander[/name_m])
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]

I think a lot of these I don’t consider unisex but I see them as soft boys names. I love the soft boys names anyway :heart_eyes:

Softer names are definitely my style for boy names! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites (not necessarily leaning feminine or unisex, but just what I consider gentler, more romantic names):

Nikolai (my son - I love it because it has the romantic, European feel, but can equally be the casual, familiar [name_u]Nick[/name_u] or [name_u]Nicky[/name_u])
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u]
[name_u]Basil[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]

[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Johannes[/name_m] (“[name_u]Joss[/name_u]”)
[name_u]Kristian[/name_u] (“[name_u]Kit[/name_u]”)
[name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] (“[name_u]Perry[/name_u]”)

I love [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_u]Sascha[/name_u], [name_u]Eden[/name_u] & [name_u]Jules[/name_u] from your list!

[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]

Rowan waaaay too popular for me now and know way too many girl babies with this name born recently so it’s off the list for a boy. Also [name_m]Roman[/name_m] with an M getting popular at the same time. One to avoid.
