I’m looking for ideas for boy names that are two syllables and have strong consonant sounds, one of them being a strong “r” sound (which would tie our family’s names together). I tend toward distinctive traditional names. Some I like that fit this criteria are: [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_m]Gordon[/name_m]. DH likes [name_u]Percy[/name_u] (???). I also have always loved the feel of [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], though it feels too common and obviously doesn’t fit the bill. Thanks!
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_u]Percy[/name_u] are two of my favorites! Such handsome choices. Also:
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] {[name_m]Law[/name_m]/[name_m]Lawry[/name_m]}
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] {[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]}
[name_m]Orson[/name_m] {[name_m]Bear[/name_m]}
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] {[name_m]Tor[/name_m]}
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] {[name_m]Cy[/name_m]/[name_m]Russ[/name_m]}
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] {[name_u]Rue[/name_u]/[name_m]Rip[/name_m]}
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
Some great names! You can never go wrong with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and I really like the names [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. Some suggestions if you need inspiration:
[name_m]Ryker[/name_m]

[name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]

[name_m]Harlan[/name_m]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_m]Hiram[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Oran[/name_m]
[name_m]Carlton[/name_m]
You guys are definitely in the right family! Keep it coming. [name_u]Love[/name_u] so many of the suggestions, especially [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] and [name_m]Soren[/name_m] (though I think that’s on a close friend’s list).
A close friend has a [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] as an ex, so as much as I like that name, I can’t imagine naming a baby that because he wasn’t such a great guy. I hate how much stuff like that ends up coming into play!
I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and I absolutely love [name_m]Roman[/name_m]!
The first name that came to my mind when I was reading your post was [name_m]Richard[/name_m]! The second name that came to my mind was [name_m]Robert[/name_m]. They are two syllables, strong and have two r’s. Some other names that fit your criteria:
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m]
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m]
