Surname? Vintage? Organic? Handsome.

Boy Names
1

Okay really needing some direction when it comes to boys names. We already have a baby girl named [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and I am so stuck on the boys name Alder. BUT IT IS SO SIMILAR. I obviously can’t choose it. My husband really would like to use a family name, but I am not a huge fan of any he comes up with, [name_m]Paul[/name_m] or [name_m]Eugene[/name_m]. HELP! I love surnames and tend to get attached to ones like that, especially with a strong, vintage feel but also a organic feel as well. I’d like to have a boy name that stands alone.

Currently liking but unsure/can’t use:
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
Alder
[name_m]Turner[/name_m]

Any guidance would be so appreciated!

[name_u]Calder[/name_u] comes to mind. One letter off from Alder, but seems to eliminate the matchiness with [name_u]Arden[/name_u]. [name_m]Thayer[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] also came to mind.

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_m]Tanner[/name_m]
[name_m]Olin[/name_m]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]

Ohhh, I really love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] but I just didn’t have the guts to use it.

I also like the suggestion of [name_u]Calder[/name_u], it seems like a nice fit.

Agreed: [name_u]Calder[/name_u] is a great suggestion! From your list, [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] is lovely and sounds great with [name_u]Arden[/name_u].

[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Bowman[/name_m]
[name_u]Walker[/name_u]
[name_m]Flint[/name_m]

I like [name_u]Calder[/name_u]! [name_u]Walker[/name_u] is also a great suggestion. If you’re feeling this new one you’re a girl after my own heart, it’s a fave of mine and also a tree name: [name_u]Cedar[/name_u].

I too am a huge fan of [name_u]Calder[/name_u]. It is unusual. Great artist Alexander Calder - Wikipedia

Cool name.

I like that one a lot too. But Im afraid its too close to the name one of my best friends chose!

10

I really think [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m] fits the description you gave.
::hides from person who said that I say it too much::

[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]

12

I love [name_m]Turner[/name_m] on your list. Suggesting [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] or [name_m]Ridge[/name_m].

Haha, I’m really sorry! No offense meant - I hope none taken? It is a fine name and definitely meets this brief :wink:

15

Ha, I was curious after this and checked your post history - girl, you’re obsessed! If there were lobbyists for names, I’d suspect you as a [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m] lobby shill! Too funny.

Surname-names are not generally my thing unless they have some history as as given names, but here are some that might fit your bill:

[name_u]Walker[/name_u]
[name_m]Hart[/name_m]
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
Ames
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Alban[/name_m]
[name_m]Fraser[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]

16

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Asher[/name_m]? Or [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] and call him [name_u]Grey[/name_u]?

17

I vote for [name_u]Calder[/name_u] too!
