The softer side

Boy Names

Good [name_u]Day[/name_u] Everyone!

Once again, I’m upheaving part of my list. [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m] [name_m]Erich[/name_m], [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Alden[/name_u] are all staying.

I just need some opinions and ideas. I have a lot of questions so please, bear with me.

*What middle names would you pair with the name [name_u]Alden[/name_u]? I currently have [name_u]Blake[/name_u], but for some reason it’s not sitting well with me.

*[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_m]Declan[/name_m] or [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]? Why?

*What middles would you pair with [name_m]Declan[/name_m]/[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]?

For middle names I’m kind of looking for something softer and romantic maybe. I have used the family names that were most meaningful to me and my hopeful future husband, so it’s really an anything goes.

Thank you for all your help!

What a great, well thought-out response. Thank you for all of the great suggestions, particularly [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]!

Part of my problem is that I love names with Ls with N at the end ([name_m]Callan[/name_m], [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_m]Dalton[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Alan[/name_m], etc.). I’m finding it so hard to find swoon-worthy names without the N ending.

First off, I really like [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m], and [name_u]Alden[/name_u] is pretty handsome.

Secondly, I agree [name_u]Blake[/name_u] after [name_u]Alden[/name_u] doesn’t work. Maybe too much of the “L” sound.

Third, I would use [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] rather than [name_m]Declan[/name_m], mostly b/c I love nickname options and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] seems to have more of those, and it is classic, and in this case, I actually prefer the classic name. I love the nn’s [name_u]Nico[/name_u] and [name_u]Kai[/name_u]-I also love [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m], a variation you may like.
