Up for a challenge? I'm so picky!

Boy Names
1

I can’t find enough boys names I love.

I for sure love:
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m] (bay-sil not baz-il)
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
[name_m]Pan[/name_m]
[name_m]Phoebus[/name_m]

Names I like but am unsure of:
[name_u]Loki[/name_u] (I don’t know enough about Norse mythology)
[name_m]Aries[/name_m] (love the sound, love astrology, but I don’t usually get along with [name_m]Aries[/name_m]! Haha!)
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] (used to be one of my favorites but now is a bit boring to me)
[name_u]Salem[/name_u] (love the sound and meaning, unsure of the witch trials association)
[name_m]Homer[/name_m] (love this but is too associated with the Odyssey? Confession:I haven’t read it either)
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] (too dog-like?)
[name_m]Floyd[/name_m] (after [name_f]Pink[/name_f] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]. But it kind of reminds me of the word “fluoride” for some reason)
[name_f]Ffion[/name_f] (love the meaning and how the name looks written down, Foxglove is my favorite flower, but not sold on how it sounds)
Nimbus (love it’s sound and meaning, but it’s a broom in HP)
[name_u]River[/name_u] (just not sold)
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] ([name_m]Harry[/name_m] potter again. Sigh.)
[name_m]Silvius[/name_m] (I want to love this but I’m not sold yet, sounds too serious I think)

[name_m]Just[/name_m] to get a better idea of my style my favorite girls names are: [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_f]Harmonia[/name_f], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Mercy[/name_f], Silverstra, Rosebud, [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f], [name_f]Dianthe[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Golda[/name_f].

I want something handsome that feels a bit mystical. I like nature names as well.
Thoughts, opinions, ideas?

Idk if you’ll like it or not but I like a lot of the names that you do too, and one of the names that I really like is [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]. It’s not super popular, but is familiar so it wouldn’t have too many pronunciation problems.

3

I love [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] as far as mythology goes, but I also think of the City and the band and it kills it for me.

4

I love your unique taste, and I’ll give it my best shot!

Thanks amf, I forgot about [name_u]August[/name_u]! One of my long time favorites! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
Everything else on your list is just not my style.

6

I love [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], [name_m]Pan[/name_m], [name_u]Loki[/name_u], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. Have you considered [name_m]Ares[/name_m], as in the Greek God?

My suggestions:

[name_m]Arrow[/name_m]
[name_u]Cato[/name_u]
Nym
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_u]Gale[/name_u]
[name_m]Ivar[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Bertram[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_u]Corin[/name_u]
[name_m]Theseus[/name_m]

Great call on [name_m]Ares[/name_m]!! Thanks ribbons. I didn’t like anything on your list though unfortunately.

8

As far as the zodiac I also like [name_m]Taurus[/name_m], [name_f]Libra[/name_f], and Pisces for a first name. [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m], Sagittarius, [name_u]Gemini[/name_u] and Virgo would be nice for the middle spot. Cancer is unusable to me. These would all depend on the baby’s birth month :slight_smile:

9

Can’t put my finger on your naming style so I’ll just toss some names at you.

[name_m]Talon[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraxas[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m]
[name_m]Coy[/name_m]
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m]
[name_u]Oberon[/name_u]
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_m]Merlin[/name_m]
Zenith
[name_m]Mordecai[/name_m]

[name_m]Drago[/name_m]
[name_m]Geronimo[/name_m]
Hawke

Thanks Jj. [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] is ok. But I don’t love it. The rest I’m not into unfortunately. I don’t exactly have tangible style!

11

No problem. If I come across a name that I think belongs here,I’ll pass it on. Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m] in your quest!

Hey, [name_m]Quest[/name_m] isn’t too bad…LOL

12

Ariston…ancient Greek poet, and also a ruler of Sparta.

13

What about [name_u]Rigel[/name_u]? It’s the brightest star in [name_u]Orion[/name_u].

14

I’m glad I found one you liked, haha I had to use that namehunter thing because I was at loss for ideas and then I just started with some random nature and word names!

15

[name_u]Navy[/name_u]
[name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_m]Tide[/name_m]
[name_u]Royal[/name_u]
[name_u]Frost[/name_u]

I got a little carried away but maybe youll like some on there

16

[name_m]Demetrius[/name_m]?

17

I don’t like quest, ariston, [name_u]Rigel[/name_u] :frowning:
Mommyofsage, love your sons name! But I don’t like any of your suggestions unfortunately. I like [name_u]Asa[/name_u] but I don’t like biblical names. Same with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], love the name but it’s too biblical.
[name_m]Demetrius[/name_m] is ok! Not sold though, maybe it will grow on me.
Also I’ve been trying to use the Namehunter but it doesn’t work for me on my iPad. Anyone else having that issue?

18

Putting [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], [name_u]Onyx[/name_u], [name_m]Pan[/name_m], & [name_m]Phoebus[/name_m] into Namehunter you get:

Adding [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] (first 3 on your girls list) adds [name_u]Cedar[/name_u], Sa’Id, [name_u]Pax[/name_u], Gabbin, [name_m]Aladdin[/name_m], [name_m]Yusuf[/name_m], [name_m]Yasir[/name_m], [name_m]Daoud[/name_m], [name_m]Sulaiman[/name_m], & [name_m]Saladin[/name_m]

Using the names from your “like” list that you said you loved (minus Nimbus which isn’t recognized so [name_m]Aries[/name_m], [name_u]Salem[/name_u], [name_m]Homer[/name_m] & [name_f]Ffion[/name_f]) Namehunter suggests - [name_m]Aodh[/name_m] [name_m]Selig[/name_m] [name_m]Talcott[/name_m] [name_u]Fife[/name_u] [name_m]Buster[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u] [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u] [name_u]Teal[/name_u] [name_m]Laramie[/name_m] [name_u]Cyan[/name_u] [name_m]Heron[/name_m] [name_m]Cymbeline[/name_m] [name_m]Night[/name_m] [name_m]Crane[/name_m] [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] [name_m]Balthasar[/name_m] [name_m]Shlomo[/name_m] [name_u]Roux[/name_u] [name_u]Sacha[/name_u] [name_m]Rick[/name_m] [name_m]Parish[/name_m] [name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m] [name_m]Lamar[/name_m] [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] [name_m]Caio[/name_m] [name_m]Kanye[/name_m] [name_m]Spiro[/name_m] [name_m]Caliban[/name_m] [name_m]Arturo[/name_m] [name_u]Macon[/name_u] [name_m]Arsenio[/name_m] [name_u]Dacey[/name_u] [name_m]Terrence[/name_m] [name_m]Duane[/name_m] [name_m]Waldemar[/name_m] [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m] [name_m]Jenkin[/name_m] [name_m]Piet[/name_m] [name_m]Umberto[/name_m] [name_m]Dwayne[/name_m]

Did Namehunter pick any winners?

19

I love [name_f]Ffion[/name_f]! I think it’s meaning fits very well with your girls’ choices, and I do like the sound.

[name_u]Loki[/name_u] is nice, although he pretty much caused the destruction of the Norse Gods… It would be cute on a dog, but that’s some serious baggage on a human… :wink: Plus, I can’t imagine an old-man [name_u]Loki[/name_u]!

I love [name_m]Phoebus[/name_m] as well. You have great naming tastes.

20

[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
No [name_m]Homer[/name_m]
[name_m]Ajax[/name_m]?
