Too Many Name Options for my Boy!

My husband and I are in search of a name for our little boy. We don’t necessarily have any specific desires as far as names go, and like way too many things! We have several ideas and would like some help in narrowing the choices down. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to offer brand new names, change middle or first names, and share your opinions to hopefully help eliminate what we already have. Our last name is Lockwood and he will be joining a sister Luca Rae if that helps with your suggestions any.

Here’s what we have so far:
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Zephyrin[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Grey[/name_u] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] Dustin
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] Blake
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Jordi[/name_m] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u]

Our favorites at this point are:
Nickolai Andrew Lockwood-This is my husband’s favorite. With a nickname of “Nick,” this one might be a bit too popular for me. If there was a different nickname, I would like this one a lot more. I’m also open to a completely different middle name. I’m unsure about this one.
Alexei Dustin Lockwood-I LOVE this name. My husband says this name sounds extremely girly, but I like it and I think a middle name of Dustin makes it much more masculine. I would definitely love some opinions on the female-male qualities of this name. The nickname “Alex” is a bit common as well.
Jordi Kendall Lockwood-Luca says this is her favorite. Her dad and I both like it too. We are 100% open to a new middle name though. I don’t like it much at all.

Your help would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[name_u]Niko[/name_u]/[name_u]Nico[/name_u] is a possible nickname for [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]! I like that option. My next choices would be [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], or [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. [name_m]Alexei[/name_m] sounds solidly masculine to me, if very Eastern European.

As far as eliminating, here are my suggestions:

A lot of your choices are some of my favorites :slight_smile:
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] is my #1 name right now! If you spell it the original way, [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m], or [name_m]Nicolai[/name_m], i think people [name_m]Will[/name_m] gravitate towards [name_u]Niko[/name_u] or [name_u]Nico[/name_u] as a nn, not [name_u]Nick[/name_u]. Also i like [name_m]Kole[/name_m]/[name_m]Cole[/name_m] as a nn for [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]/[name_m]Nicolai[/name_m]. You like [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], and my top name is [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_m]Andreas[/name_m]!

[name_m]Zephyrin[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] is not my favorite. I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], (and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]) but [name_m]Zephyrin[/name_m] is nms

[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is a Nice name, but i have bad assosiations with both so it just doesnt work for me.

[name_u]Grey[/name_u] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] is cute. I like this name.

[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] i also like

[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_u]Rylan[/name_u] has too many repeated long I sounds imo.

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is Nice

[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] is ok, but i prefer [name_u]Finley[/name_u]

[name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] is adorable!

[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_u]Dustin[/name_u] is great. I absolutely love [name_m]Alexei[/name_m], i just dont really like [name_u]Alex[/name_u] (overused imo) as a nn.

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] also seems a bit cliché to me, with the [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] being born from ashes

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is nms. Im not a fan of [name_u]Blake[/name_u], and jonah is ok.

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is nice

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is also Nice

[name_m]Jordi[/name_m] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] seems a bit unisex. With either of these names they need a more masculine name to go with it.

I love the name [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Rae[/name_u]

I like
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]- what about [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m] instead?
[name_m]Jordi[/name_m] [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] - I like [name_m]Jordy[/name_m] but prefer it with a ‘y’ to make it more masculine. Maybe [name_m]Jordy[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Jordy[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] instead of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u].

I think [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] would sound good with your surname.

Charlie and Luca would sound good together.

[name_m]Zephyrin[/name_m] - maybe you could use [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] or [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] instead.

I love the name [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Rae[/name_u]

I like
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]- what about [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m] instead?

I actually hadn’t thought about the “[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] rising from the ashes” thing! I also love the possible nicknames for [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] that were mentioned. [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] will be moved up in my ranking for sure! I never thought of [name_m]Jordi[/name_m] as a girlish name, but I see it now that it’s been pointed out and I, too, prefer it with a “y” at the end to aide in the masculinity of it. I had never thought of that!

After these suggestions, my top 5 are:
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] “[name_m]Kole[/name_m]” [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Lockwood[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_m]Lockwood[/name_m]
[name_m]Jordy[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Lockwood[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] [name_u]Dustin[/name_u] [name_m]Lockwood[/name_m]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] “[name_u]Finn[/name_u]” [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Lockwood[/name_m]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Any further help from here would be greatly appreciated as well!
