Could I please have thoughts on each of these names?
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_u]Finlay[/name_u]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] - I love it! One of its meanings is believed to be “full of goodness”, and I love that. I love the [name_m]Declan[/name_m] in Leap Year, and it’s just so cool and almost rugged, to me? I love the Irish feel to the name.
[name_u]Finlay[/name_u] - I also love [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] and its meaning, although I flipflop between [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_u]Finlay[/name_u]. I think, in general, I prefer [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. I think it’s SO handsome for a boy; I adore it.
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] - I like it a lot. It used to be on my top 5, but somehow it fell out, and I’m not sure why. I do love him a lot, though.
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] - I want to like it, but I can’t help thinking of this goofy guy in my sister’s class in high school who called himself [name_u]Remy[/name_u] (I think his real name was [name_m]Brandon[/name_m]?). He kind of destroyed my desire to ever use it, haha, even though it is a cool name.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] - I like it, but I wouldn’t ever use it as a FN. I met, no joke, around 25 in the span of one or two years a few years ago. I mean, I’m prone to exaggeration and melodramatics, lol, but that’s in all seriousness–I legitimately kept a tally. I’ve never met as many people with one singular name as much as I’ve met Elijahs. I might use it as a middle, though. I do like it a lot, and the Biblical namesake.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - I like him a lot, and am considering [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], but I like [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and [name_m]Gaspard[/name_m] even more.
Good luck!
