[name]Just[/name] getting a feeling of my style and other’s perceptions of my names.
[name]Gus[/name]- I think this is such a cute name! I know people are using it as a nn for [name]August[/name] or [name]Angus[/name], and I’m ok with those too, but not thrilled with them. If someone has a better suggestion, I’m all ears, but I think if you’re aiming for the nn, just go with the nn. [name]Gus[/name] has a lovely historical feeling and I used to work with someone with this name, so I know it’ll work on a 20 year old as well as a toddler.
I like [name]Gus[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Gus[/name] [name]Harrison[/name] or [name]Gus[/name] [name]Atticus[/name].
[name]Max[/name]- I am also a fan of [name]Maxwell[/name], but I really love just the short and sweet [name]Max[/name] for the same reasons as [name]Gus[/name]. Also, with my SO’s last name, it kinda sounds like a superhero.
[name]Max[/name] [name]Harrison[/name], [name]Max[/name] [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Max[/name] [name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]- I’m going to break my own rule and say I love the nn [name]Freddie[/name], but I genuinely like the long form of [name]Frederick[/name] and want both.
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Frederick[/name] [name]Jack[/name], ??
[name]Dexter[/name]- This name has the rare ability of feeling both cool and like it has some history to it.
[name]Dexter[/name] [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Dexter[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Dexter[/name] [name]Gale[/name]
I’ve also been feeling [name]Elliott[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Raiden[/name] (prn. [name]Rye[/name]-den), [name]Dashiell[/name], and [name]Hugo[/name] lately. I also love [name]Atticus[/name], and I know some people find it pretentious, but I love both its ancient and literary connections.
Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks berries!
