I’m trying to fund some boy names I really like, and I might have found a few. Maybe tell me what you think of them? [name_f]TIA[/name_f]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m]
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
My favorites are [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] and [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] are really nice too. [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] might fall into middle name category for me, I’d just worry about what it could get shortened to other than [name_f]Bella[/name_f]. ?
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] are handsome!
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] - I don’t particularly like this for a boy or a girl, but I’ve only ever heard it on girls and it feels feminine as it is a mix of two feminine names ([name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_f]Amy[/name_f]).
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - I like this a lot. Handsome and not over used.
[name_m]Truman[/name_m] - I tend to not like presidential names, but I don’t mind [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. It feels less tied to the president than [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], or [name_u]Reagan[/name_u].
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] - A solid classic that you can’t go wrong with.
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m] - hmm… Not sure about this one. Not really my style and I don’t know how I feel about the [name_u]Angel[/name_u] of Death thing.
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] - This just feels a little too much like a last name to me. I could maybe see it working as a middle, but I don’t care for it as a first.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] - I love this. I slightly prefer [name_m]Augustine[/name_m], but [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] is great too!
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]- I like [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]. It’s nice.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]- [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is classic and a solid good name
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]- This is the only one I don’t really like. I’m not a big fan of president names.
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]- Good solid name.
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name and spelling
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]- Currently growing on me
Augustu- love this name
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] - I love this name’s meaning and the pretty, musical sound it has (too rare in boy’s names, I think).
[name_m]Truman[/name_m] - so handsome and retro.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] - I prefer the succinct [name_u]August[/name_u] (we’re considering it for our own little bean), but this full Latin form is regal.
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Aldous[/name_m] [name_m]Huxley[/name_m]'s books, so I love this literary name. I like Hux as a nickname, too.
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m] - as a previous poster said, it’s hard to get over the [name_u]Angel[/name_u] of Death connotation.
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] - underwhelming because of its popularity, but I’m warming to the nickname [name_u]Kit[/name_u] (maybe because of [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_m]Harrington[/name_m]; what can I say?)
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]: quite like for a girl, but not for a boy. [name_u]Bell[/name_u] is quite a nice nickname, but again might feel a bit girly. I quite like similar Bettany though.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]: love this! By far my favourite here. It’s so classy and strong.
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]: really dislike this. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like surname names generally and this is no exception.
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]: nice, and beginning to feel fresh again.
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m]: I like this one, as well as [name_m]Israel[/name_m] and [name_m]Ishmael[/name_m].
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]: OK, not my favourite but not the worst surname name around. I agree that Hux is a cool nn.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]: I like it but it seems a bit overblown. Maybe [name_u]August[/name_u] or [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] for something more wearable?
I like:
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]- I love this on a girl but I really dislike it on a boy
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]- love it
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]- its OK, don’t see it aging well
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]- nms but good strong name
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m]- I don’t see this as usable
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]- I really like it in theory, but I would worry it wouldn’t age well
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]- seems very trendy right now, nms either
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Trueman[/name_m]!
Is there a masculine nn for [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] I’m not aware of? Bem, Bam, [name_u]Bell[/name_u], [name_m]Lemmy[/name_m]? I’m really loving [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] as a combo though.
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]- Definitely like.
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]- Very strong and not too popular, and ages very well.
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]- Reminds me of [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Truman[/name_m], but I think it would be a good middle.
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]- Not a fan of the nickname [name_u]Chris[/name_u] or [name_m]Topher[/name_m] but I like [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m]- Not sure?
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u].
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]- So handsome.
