Something plus Lok

Boy Names
1

My wife is Chinese and we’ve chosen Lok as a 2nd name for our son. It means ‘[name]Joy[/name]’ in Cantonese.

So I want a slightly less unusual first name, but still unusual enough that he won’t be likely to find another boy with the same name in his class at school. Ideally with 2 syllables as my surname is a single syllable name, so it will balance better.

In terms of character/feel, I’d like something that has a sense of purpose to it. A little bit of mystery but a bit of strength too.

Considering these:

My wife isn’t keen on [name]Soren[/name] (thinks it sounds too feminine) or [name]Reuben[/name]. We both like the feel of [name]Kai[/name], but of course it only has 1 syllable.

Would be interested in any other suggestions.

[name]Owen[/name] is a great suggestion with a great meaning! I also thought [name]Wyatt[/name] might interest you. Good luck! =]

Thanks for the suggestions. I find [name]Wyatt[/name] a little bit awkward to say – I wonder if it is a British/US thing… [name]Wyatt[/name] Earp.

I’m also now thinking about [name]Torin[/name].

Yes, perhaps. I mostly suggested it based on the meaning but I definitely understand what you’re saying. [name]Torin[/name] is great! It has all the nice sounds that I love from [name]Soren[/name], but definitely sounds much stronger. Or there’s Thorin… =]

callum?
colin?
killian

Yes, perhaps. I mostly suggested it based on the meaning but I definitely understand what you’re saying. [name]Torin[/name] is great! It has all the nice sounds that I love from [name]Soren[/name], but definitely sounds much stronger. Or there’s always the option of [name]Thorin[/name] as well… =]

From your list I think [name]Rowan[/name] and [name]Kieran[/name] are my favorites! I love both those names and they sound handsome with Lok! I also like [name]Soren[/name]. [name]Reuben[/name] reminds me too much of the sandwich, and I agree that [name]Kai[/name] is too short.

I am not a fan of [name]Owen[/name] and depending where you like it might be very popular. Where I live it is incredibly common amongst the under 10 crowd.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Torin[/name] and [name]Kieran[/name]. [name]Torin[/name] Lok sounds really cool! Have you looked into other names that have “[name]Kai[/name]” in them? Such as Enakai (means glowing sea in hawaiian).

Looked at a good few names starting with [name]Kai[/name], but hadn’t thought about ones ending in kai. Enakai is definitely a new one on me!
