Thoughts on These Boy Names

Hello everybody, these are some of my favourite boy names, I would really appreciate it if you took the time to share your thoughts and opinions on the names. Also if you wouldn’t mind telling me what I could do better to fix the names. I also wouldn’t mind if you answered my question below and checked out my other threads. Thank you.

Question: What would you say is my naming style?

Thanks again!!

I love [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m].
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] is so handsome.
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] I also like a lot.
I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m] but wouldn’t pair it with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. It sounds too clunky. [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] sounds better.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites, in order, are [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m], [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m], and [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]. [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m] (although I prefer [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]) and [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] could really grow on me. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]/[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m] is very handsome.

Thank you, what would you suggest to use with [name_m]Callum[/name_m] then?

Thank you!! What do you like exactly about the names? Would you mind checking out the rest of my names?

[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] ([name_u]Andy[/name_u]) - like both names, not sure about [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] in the middle, but nice
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] ([name_u]Ash[/name_u]) - a bit on the trendy side, but sounds great
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u]) - love
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] ([name_u]Cam[/name_u]) - least favorite. not a big fan of [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] or the flow of the combo. plus both names feel a bit dated.
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u], but [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] is nms
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] ([name_u]Danny[/name_u]) - very nice
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m] - nice
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - nice
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] - nms but nice flow. feels preppy
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]- love
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] feels a bit dated to me, plus it has been a dog name in my family, on both sides coincidentally.

Keepers [name_f]IMO[/name_f] are in bold. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] and [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. Good luck!

I would call your style “preppy masculine.” You have a lot of surname-y names, which tend to make me think of country clubs and smoking jackets. The non-surnames ([name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]) are also Biblical names, which lend a good-guy who gets stuff done familiarity to their stuffier counterparts. I don’t mean that as any sort of insult, I like of lot of names in this style too!

Wow thank you, it truly means a lot that you took time to leave comments on each of the names. I really appreciate it.

Thank you, don’t worry I dint take anything as an insult. In fact I take it as a stepping stone. To see what I can do as progress to mike these better. That is the main reason why I post my names.

[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]- [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] is handsome, it works nicely with [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]- this is a little too unisex for me
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]- I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m] but I am not a fan of [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. Maybe [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]?
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m]- this is ok, I don’t think the flow works with [name_m]Adam[/name_m] in the middle.
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]- nice
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]- handsome name
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m]- this is alright
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]- i really like it
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]- too surname-y, I prefer [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] or [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]- this works
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]- its alright, not a big fan of [name_m]Tucker[/name_m]

These were the ones I like the most. You have a real knack for FN MN combos.
[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] ([name_u]Andy[/name_u])
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u]) - I’m tempted to suggest [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]; [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is the only one that feels like the flow is a tad off balance. I do like [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] though.
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] ([name_u]Danny[/name_u])
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]

I think my top three favorite are [name_m]Anderson[/name_m], [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]. I would also suggest [name_m]Tanner[/name_m].

[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] ([name_u]Andy[/name_u]) – [name_u]Andy[/name_u] is cute. I think [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is a pretty cool nickname, too. I know an [name_m]Anders[/name_m] in real life.
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] ([name_u]Ash[/name_u])–I really only like [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] as a way to get to the funky-cool nn [name_u]Ash[/name_u]. [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] sounds like a girl’s name to me: [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Ashlynn[/name_f], [name_u]Ashton[/name_u], [name_u]Ashtyn[/name_u]…
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u])–eeek, I feel like I’m being so negative, and for that I am sorry, but [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is really not my style. I know it is a nameberry favorite, but I always hear Gollum. I also don’t like the m-ending followed by an n-ending. Sounds too close to being rhyme-y to me. [name_u]Cal[/name_u] is a super cute nn though–what about [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]?
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] – ([name_u]Cam[/name_u]) Same n-ending then m-ending thing. [name_u]Cam[/name_u] is a great nickname, though.
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]–Adorable. You seem to be a fan of surname names. [name_m]Coop[/name_m] is a cute nn.
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] ([name_u]Danny[/name_u])-- A+
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Graeme[/name_m]-- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. Great name.
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]-- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one too. I love the name [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]. Too bad my husband nixed it. Any way, it sounds great with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m].
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]-- I like it. I hope you nn him [name_m]Lando[/name_m] :slight_smile:
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]-- nn [name_u]Quin[/name_u]? or [name_m]Quent[/name_m]?
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]-- nn [name_m]Tuck[/name_m]? It’s cute, and I love it paired with [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], but [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] does make me think of a pet name. Like you have a dog named [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] and a cow named [name_f]Bessie[/name_f] and a pig named [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m]…

Your naming style seems east-coast-[name_m]New[/name_m]-Englandy to me. Like [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m]/Connecticut area. I don’t know if that helps, but I hope it does.

Thank you so much for your thoughts!! It is much appreciated. Also thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately I have bad connections with the name [name_m]Tanner[/name_m].

Thank you so much, it truly does help. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t worry you were not too negative, just stating your opinion. I don’t understand the east coast style because m not from there but I do like surnames. Thanks again.

  • [name_f]Mady[/name_f]

Thank you for your thoughts. Unfortunately I do not like [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] because I have bad associations with [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. Thank you though.
