Soft, surname-y boys' names?

EagleEyes · January 10, 2021, 7:25pm

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! I’ve recently fallen for the boys names [name_u]Alwyn[/name_u], [name_u]Alder[/name_u], and [name_u]Alden[/name_u]. I like how gentle they feel, and I’m wondering if anybody has suggestions for similar names in style! Some other names I have on my list that feel similar to me are [name_m]Eben[/name_m], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_m]Bowen[/name_m], [name_u]Lowen[/name_u], and [name_u]Riley[/name_u].

They don’t have to start with [name_m]Al[/name_m]-, but I think two-syllables and ending in N or R would be lovely! Also, while I know I put “surname-y” in the title, I’d rather not have anything too wordy or occupation-y.

Thank you!

I like the names that end in wyn too. I saw Aedwyn or Aodwyn the other day. Unsure if it sounds more feminine or unisex. Another surname fn I like is [name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]. Always loved the name [name_m]Ford[/name_m], but I ended up with someone who has [name_m]Ford[/name_m] in his surname.
