Throw some boys' names at me?

Boy Names
1

Lately I’ve had trouble really liking any boy’s names. I just don’t feel as strongly about them as I do about girl’s names, and my boy’s list is half as long!

So if you’re so inclined, I’d love some suggestions based on my list. It would also be great if you could tell me why you love a few of your favorites.

[name_f]My[/name_f] list (minus family names) :

Alastor
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]

I just posted about boy names yesterday, maybe there will be a few you like on this list :slight_smile:

Well, based on your list (and also a few names I can’t help but suggest to every other person, sorry about that), I’d suggest:

[name_m]Adriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Altair[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] (though if you like [name_m]Emrys[/name_m], I suppose this one would be out)
[name_m]Aragon[/name_m] (absolutely love. Would use in a heartbeat if I could get away with it. Sounds dashing and handsome to me)
Aslan (too Chronicles of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], but so handsome)
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]

[name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffith[/name_m]
[name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I see it has already been suggested, but it’s one of my favorite boy names of all time. I love the way it sounds like heart but has a very masculine image. It’s like the best of both worlds, soft and strong. I don’t even know what I’m saying haha)
[name_m]Hector[/name_m]
[name_m]Igor[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lars[/name_m]

[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Scorpio[/name_m]
[name_m]Sherwood[/name_m] (another one of my favorites. I’m not sure it would work in the real world, but I love it so. So romantic and handsome)
[name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m]

I don’t know why, but I really like woodsy names. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] it helped you!

Thanks, guys! I’m adding [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Cato[/name_m], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], and [name_u]Orion[/name_u] to the list.

From your list, I like [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_u]August[/name_u] sounds feminine to me.

Anyone else?

Also, any suggestions of one-syllable nickname names (a la [name_u]Jem[/name_u], [name_m]Tad[/name_m], [name_u]Cal[/name_u]), O ending names, or names containing Z and/or X? I seem to like a lot of those.
