Sweet, cozy, and slightly magical

[mellona]

I have recently been trying to grow my boys list, and I have come to the conclusion that my style for boys names is becoming very different from how it used to be. For reference, the names that I am liking these days for boys consist of usually two syllables (though this is not a requirement), and are a bit softer, endearing, and somewhat obscure, such as

[name_m]Armas[/name_m] (“beloved, darling, dear”)
[name_m]Corcan[/name_m] (“little heart”)
[name_m]Faolan[/name_m] (“little wolf”)
Oghie (“horseman,” all credit for this name idea goes to the original poster for bringing this name to my attention!)
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]

I don’t really know where to go from here! If anyone knows of any names similar in style to these, I would be very appreciative if you would help me. Much love, and have wonderful days/evenings!

Though not that obscure, [name_u]Corban[/name_u] and [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] came to mind.

[mellona]

I absolutely love how those two sound, thank you so very much! [name_u]Corban[/name_u] especially. [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] is so sweet too!
