Some new middle ideas for Caedmon and Brynmor?

Boy Names
1

Hi all!

I’ve been looking at my list and while I love Brynmor and Caedmon, I’m not super loving the combos I’ve made for them:

Caedmon Jesse - not really sparkling to me

Brynmor Felix - I do like it, but Sholto Felix is my Felix combo and it feels wrong

Feel free to suggest middle names of your choosing/your style, or taking inspiration from:

my other top masc combos

Tristan Rafferty - Sholto Felix - Caspian Jude - Forrest Henry - Linus Robin - Otto Peregrine - Cosmo Julian - Ozias Lorcan - Quincey Shepherd - Wystan Hugo - Everett Storm - Tay Leander - Tadhg Sebastian - Omri Sasha - Isidore Franklin - Waverly Roscoe - Keats Nathaniel - Rowan Amadeus - Nevan Silas

some current, unpaired crushes

Caradoc - Murphy - Dawson - Ro - Rufus - Azarias - Balthasar - Flynn - Ralph - Marlo - Ignatius - Joss - Mack - Raphael - Bobbie - Tobias - Amos - Soren - Cosmos - Atlas - Clyde - Cormac - Oscar - Rory - Tez - Ezra - Cyrus - Beau - Brody - Bram - Fergus - Clancy

some names that are not my thing

James - William - Thomas - Ryan - Lawrence - Edward - Edmund - Robert - Jack - Jackson - Harry - Harrison - Oliver - Leo - Caleb - Theo - Roman - Lucas

What would you use as middles for Caedmon and Brynmor? Or would you reserve Brynmor and Caedmon for the middle spot? Is that why they’re not working as they’re more ‘middle names’ for me? You’re welcome to say so!!

Thank you everyone :heart:

Wow I love both! I honestly think [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] is probably more of a middle IMO but I think [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] is definitely strong enough to stand on its own!

Taking these thoughts and your preferences into consideration, here are a few suggestions!

From your list:

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]
[name_u]Joss[/name_u] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]
[name_f]Ro[/name_f] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]

[name_u]New[/name_u] maybes:

[name_m]Hannibal[/name_m] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] (unless you’re afraid of the [name_m]Hannibal[/name_m] the Cannibal reference)
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] (totally understand if this is too traditional for you!)
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]

Random: The only middle I can really think of for [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] is [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] for some reason so [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_u]Rhett[/name_u]

From your list:

[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Azarias[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u]

[name_u]New[/name_u] maybes:
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Justus[/name_m]

I could see it paired with [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] or with [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] [name_m]Brynmore[/name_m] though!

Hopefully this helps :slight_smile:

Ooh, such great names! This was a very fun challenge… Here are some ideas! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] is so fantastic that I think it needs to go first, rather than in the middle. Here are some options, based on your unpaired faves…

If you are okay with two Cs together, I really like both of these combos:
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
There’s just something unapologetically historical & Celtic about those pairs!

Other great options:
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Or[/name_u] if you wanted to put [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] second, I like [name_u]Marlo[/name_u] [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m].

As for [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m], if it goes in the middle, I like the sound of it with names ending in “s”:
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m]

There are also several intriguing combos that have an “echoed” / rhyming sound, but these may or may not be your cup of tea:
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m]
[name_u]Marlo[/name_u] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m]

As for other suggestions that aren’t on your list…

For [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m], I like the “frame” effect of a name that ends in “c” or “k”, e.g.
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Eric[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Rook[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Warrick[/name_m]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] another idea would be to go with the meaning (“warrior”)… so I thought maybe either “strong”, or perhaps “gentle”, for contrast?
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Tero[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Gareth[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Clement[/name_m] / [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Clemens[/name_m]

As for [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m], since it means “hill”, there are various nature names that might work:
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Thorne[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Birch[/name_u]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] something short & simple, but very Celtic:
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Coll[/name_m]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Conn[/name_u]

Alternatively, since you initially had it paired with [name_m]Felix[/name_m], maybe another name ending in “x”?
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_u]Lennox[/name_u]
[name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] [name_m]Knox[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you like some of these! :slight_smile:

And [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m] is very cool!!
