eames fletcher
sullivan bishop
penn campbell
macsen hayes
boone shepherd
tillman rhett
huxley wilder

and an honorary mention 🪕

shepherd cole, jennings clarke, rhett asher, hyland crew, waylon rivers, roscoe burke, sutton eloise, and shyla mabel

my favorites are:
macsen hayes macsen is great! I love the idea of nn mac and hayes really balances and softens macsen
huxley wilder always a fan of wilder, of course. huxley is so fun and versatile!
magnolia bea two names I admire! they make the sweetest combo :face_holding_back_tears:
luella scarlett this is perfect. perfect in every way possible. she’s playful, cuddly, warm and adventurous all in one
remington hazel remington on a girl is everything! and hazel is such a perfect anchor
prairie opal maybe a bit wordy but I can overlook it because they flow together so perfectly
