Sterling and Greyling

I love these two names.

Sterling suggests a sterling character, of my favorite descriptors and is a lot more subtle a tribute than [name_m]Fortitude[/name_m]. :slight_smile:

And Greyling, is I believe, a fish, but a beautiful name I much prefer to [name_u]Greyson[/name_u]/Grayson.

Any thoughts? I usually love color names.

I like the sound of [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]! It reminds me of [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], fun and adventurous. I might slightly prefer [name_u]Starling[/name_u], like the bird, but both are nice.
Greyling sounds more like a creature than a name to me to be honest, sorry!

I would like [name_u]Starling[/name_u] except they mass together in a bit of a nuisance. I tend to like animal names in general though so I don’t mind the fish association (I love [name_m]Kenelm[/name_m] [name_u]Trout[/name_u] as a combo!).

Sterling is wonderful!

Sterling [name_u]Archer[/name_u] is my one [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] association and let’s just say he definitely does not have a sterling character! I guess I also like sterling silver.

Starling is also fun! [name_u]Starling[/name_u] [name_f]Marte[/name_f] is one of my favorite baseball players. He has a son named [name_u]Starling[/name_u], and Smerling (??)

Smerling? Now that really does sound like a fish!

Greyling sounds like a creature from Scooby-Doo. [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] is handsome.

Scooby-Doo! :slight_smile:

Sterling is cool and fan! I never heard Greyling before, but it’s interesting.

Sterling is nice. [name_f]My[/name_f] immediate thought though is the pound sterling currency. It’s not a bad thing but the name feels a bit heavy.

I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]. Not a big fan of Greyling. I think just [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is very nice though. [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]!

I like [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]… but i personally like [name_u]Greyson[/name_u] or [name_u]Grey[/name_u] compared to Greyling.

If [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] were paired with Greyling as a potential sibling, it might be a bit much imo.

What about:
[name_m]Viridian[/name_m]
[name_u]Crimson[/name_u]
[name_u]Jett[/name_u]
[name_m]Rusty[/name_m]
[name_u]Silver[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Navy[/name_u]

Don’t worry, not naming a baby, just exploring names.

Hmmm… I might have to add [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] to my list! :slight_smile: It’s such a great name! Greyling is definitely more unique than [name_u]Grayson[/name_u], and I could see myself growing to like it! It’d work well as a middle name.

I love [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]! Has such a shiny silver imagery, and is quite rare, but also very usable.

The fish is actually spelled [name_m]Grayling[/name_m]. As fish go, they’re very beautiful.

Greyling kind of sounds like a species of alien. I like grey by itself tho. I knew someone who named her son [name_u]Gray[/name_u] and I thought it was very cute. [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] isn’t my cup of tea either, but I think it sounds nice as a duo, “sterling and grey.”
