I’m looking for boys’ names that evoke bare-footed, grass-stained, tree-climbing, prank-playing kinds of imagery. Names that smell of fresh air and summer evenings.
Not necessarily names that would have been used in [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] itself, but that capture the spirit of the book.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Berries can come up with

@morning_glory - I’m really glad you mentioned [name_m]Timothy[/name_m], as he was actually the name that inspired me to think about this kind of imagery! I really like how he combines this adventurous, outdoorsy feel with a soft sound.
I think I have plenty of food for thought here to start compiling a good repository of [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_m]Sayer[/name_m]-style names, but if anyone has any more ideas I would be glad to hear them.
For me those names would be:
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]/t
