Using these names as inspiration

Boy Names

what would you suggest?

I’m extremely happy with the majority of my boys’ list ([name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Zane[/name_m], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u], [name_m]Judah[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]), but I’m stumped after that. I’ve been aiming for a top 20 for each gender, but while I have too many girls’ names, I have the opposite problem for my boys’ list! While I adore these seventeen, I can’t seem to come up with three more names to round out my boys’ list.

Taking these seventeen as inspiration, what names would you suggest that you think I might like? I have some in mind that I like ([name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_u]Pax[/name_u], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Darby[/name_u], [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Cristiano[/name_m], [name_m]Amias[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]/[name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Theo/name_u, etc.), but I can’t manage to get excited enough about them to actually add them to my list.

I’m eager to see what you all come up with!

Thanks, Berries!

Thank you, everyone!

@christabel! [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is lovely, but I already have it as a MN, mainly because it’s way too similar to my little sister’s name to actually use up front ([name_f]Natalie[/name_f]). I like using [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] as a middle name to honor her. :slight_smile: I love [name_m]Philip[/name_m] as a middle (or even the [name_m]German[/name_m] form, [name_m]Philipp[/name_m]), and this is causing me to reconsider [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and [name_m]Leo/name_m. I’m really liking all three right now!

@ashleyjuliette and @faefae - Thank you for your ideas! I liked [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]/[name_u]Reese[/name_u]/[name_u]Reece[/name_u], and [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] the most. I’m not sure I’d use them, but they might be MN contenders. I think [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is too close to [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u], and [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] might be a lot for the same list, but I do think they’re all rather cool. Maybe [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] or [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]. I’ll have to think about it. :slight_smile:
