The List That Took Forever

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], berries! I’m posting this as a very proud namenerd who has finally (finally) created her very first top ten boys’ list! I’ve had certain names I’ve liked for a while, but I’ve never really attempted middles because, to be honest, boys names usually don’t excite me as much as girls names. But wow, am I excited now! So, without further ado: my top ten boys’ list, in order.

[name_u]Micah[/name_u] [name_u]Haley[/name_u]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Reece[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_u]Niall[/name_u] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_u]Roan[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_m]Noble[/name_m]
[name_m]Finnian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m] [name_u]Porter[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]

Voila! Opinions?

I actually like all of them quite a bit. [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Reece[/name_u], [name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] are my favorites. Good list!

My faves are [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] (glad to see someone likes [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] as well as me), [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], and [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_u]Roan[/name_u].

[name_u]Micah[/name_u] [name_u]Haley[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Micah[/name_u] but not with [name_u]Haley[/name_u] (back-to-back h’s).

[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Reece[/name_u] - I think [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] would look better with [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]. I like the sound of these two names together but I prefer one surname per combo.

[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] - I much prefer just [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. Too much “ew”.

[name_u]Niall[/name_u] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] - This sounds like a heavyweight boxer

[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] - lots of exotic European flair

[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_u]Roan[/name_u] - I love [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] but it’s so Russian that it seems oddly mismatched with [name_u]Roan[/name_u]

[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_m]Noble[/name_m] - This sounds like a Russian aristocrat but I like it.

[name_m]Finnian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] - [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] has spunk but [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] is “dated”.

[name_m]Tobin[/name_m] [name_u]Porter[/name_u] - the b and the p are a bit harsh together. Again, I don’t care for two surnames in a combo

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] - This is my favourite combo on your list. Strong but spunky.

I really like [name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]!

[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Reece[/name_u] - love, though I much prefer [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]. Sounds great though.
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f].
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] - nms but flows very nicely.
[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_m]Noble[/name_m] - same as above.
[name_u]Niall[/name_u] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] - I like both of these names, and they look good together. Not sure how they sound though.

Those are my top 5!

My favorite is definitely [name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]! :slight_smile: [name_m]Judah[/name_m] is a GP of mine - my husband hates it, unfortunately. :frowning:
