I’m looking for some naming inspiration for my baby boy due this summer. We’ve been having a hard time coming up with something we both like and I feel like I’ve looked at every name out there. Maybe by looking for unique inspirations from someone you’ve known I can get some good ideas. I’ll start…
[name]Tully[/name] - friend of my brother in school
Antares - even though its a boy name, I went to school with a girl named Antares and always thought it was a pretty name

[name]Jeston[/name]
[name]Ulysses[/name]
[name]Rohan[/name]
