Sweater clad, dimple chinned, mama’s boys

lateaugust · February 9, 2021, 7:21pm

I’m getting a lot of joy from my boys list right now. The imagery I’ve been going with is kind of like [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] brunch, cable knit sweaters, rosy cheeks, holding hands, jumping over puddles, just Cozy™️.

And so - instead of worrying about nameless daughters - I’m just reveling in the boys.

I would love any suggestions you have, whether or not you think they “fit” my style. I’ll take [name_u]Alex[/name_u] just as much as I’ll take [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m].

Some of my current “okay these work” list for a bit of inspiration:
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], [name_m]Sulien[/name_m], [name_m]Corwin[/name_m], Umbriel, [name_u]Endellion[/name_u], [name_m]Teilo[/name_m], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]/Hugh, [name_m]Ned[/name_m], [name_m]Grover[/name_m], [name_m]Bram[/name_m]

jadzianoel · February 10, 2021, 1:44am

@elanorelle I knew your comment was going to be excellent as soon as I saw [name_u]Casey[/name_u], [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], and [name_m]Clive[/name_m] right next to each other

@katkabet [name_u]Sully[/name_u] and [name_u]Tully[/name_u] ohmygosh I’ve never met a nickname for [name_m]Henry[/name_m] that I didn’t love also [name_m]Hart[/name_m]? [name_m]Digby[/name_m]? [name_m]Ike[/name_m]? [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]?? [name_u]Rafa[/name_u]??? Yes, please

@Loislyn I adore [name_u]Linden[/name_u], and I think a baby [name_m]Harold[/name_m] would be so sweet

@emarias22 these are all such “babies wearing glasses” names, I can’t even think of any other way to describe them haha

@jadzianoel I’m in love I can’t write this comment and not list every single one of your suggestions, but I’m going to reign myself in and just say [name_m]Oswin[/name_m] & [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] are beyond words (okay I can’t reign myself in, I have never met a -by name that I didn’t like)

@LoneStar These are just gorgeous!! [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_u]Lionel[/name_u], [name_m]Hamish[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - they’re amazing

@skylerros [name_m]Ralph[/name_m] and [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] and a boy called [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - thank you!

@Posielee Oh [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is lovely, also [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], and [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]? Perfection

@voughtlori I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u] for a boy, and [name_m]Eben[/name_m] is such a sweet name. These are all so cuddly haha
