I’m not sure if a thread already exists for this but…
What are some names like [name_m]Sevastian[/name_m] and Lexander that have twists on classic names?

I would recommend searching for international variants of classic names.
[name_m]Olivier[/name_m]
[name_m]Tolliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Simeon[/name_m]
[name_m]Zevadiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Laurent[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonty[/name_m]
[name_m]Jesper[/name_m]
On my list I have:
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] - twist on [name_u]Joseph[/name_u]
Olivander - twist on [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] (I also have just [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] on my list of girl names)
[name_u]Edison[/name_u] - twist on [name_u]Edward[/name_u]
[name_u]Evren[/name_u] - twist on [name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_f]Arlet[/name_f] - twist on [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_u]Graycen[/name_u] (f) - kind of a twist on Grace/twisted spelling of [name_u]Grayson[/name_u]
[name_f]Winnet[/name_f], [name_f]Winry[/name_f], [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] - twists on [name_u]Win[/name_u]- names like [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
I also have a few “nickname” names, especially on my girl list, like just [name_u]Theo[/name_u] for a girl instead of a longer version like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] or [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f], and [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] instead of the full [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] is awesome! i also thought of [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Eddard[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodoric[/name_m]
[name_m]Artin[/name_m]
[name_m]Franco[/name_m]
[name_m]Henrique[/name_m]
Thanks for all the suggestions these will be fun to go through with my bf!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] looking at them quickly I love [name_m]Tolliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] but not sure if he’s a fan
[name_m]Maxence[/name_m] would be perfect but bf isn’t sold on it, it would be an honour name for him and also honours our french heritage
Thank you love these suggestions!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] Olivander but it might be too harry potter?
[name_u]Edison[/name_u], [name_f]Arlet[/name_f] are [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] adorable
But i prefer names with nicknames over nickname names!
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is amazing
Thank you! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Eddard[/name_m] and [name_m]Henrique[/name_m]
I am a big [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] fan so that just adds to my love of Olivander, but I think it’s also kind of a less obvious HP reference so you could probably get away with using it without people thinking it’s purely because you’re a big fan. It’s not like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] or something. I’m not sure how many people would actually make the connection but that’s just my guess.
Ooh i see! I wouldn’t call myself a fan, i’ve only read the books when i was younger and haven’t watched the movies (yet)
I agree it’s probably not as noticeable as [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] for sure! Maybe i’ll have to test and see if people make that connection or not
i know right? underrated name! plus it’s kinda a mix between [name_m]Evander[/name_m] & Lexander
i just came up with a few more so i’ll also suggest:
twist on [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] or [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]:
[name_u]Lionel[/name_u], [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_m]Leander[/name_m]
twist on [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]: Sebastion, [name_m]Sebastien[/name_m], Sebastain, Sebetian, Sebatian, Sebouh, [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Sebas, Sebi, Seba, [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
twist on [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]: [name_m]Oliverio[/name_m], [name_m]Olivier[/name_m], Olivery, Olivern, [name_f]Olive[/name_f], Olivio, Oliv, Oliven, [name_f]Olivea[/name_f], Olivar, [name_f]Olivet[/name_f], [name_m]Oliwer[/name_m], Olivee, Oliber, Oli, Olimar, Olindo
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is definitely underrated!
Thanks for all of your lovely suggestions!
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] is my boyfriends brothers name
