Looking for inspiration.
Ranging from long-time favorites to newer picks, realistic-for-me options to ones that are more outside my personal comfort zone, here are some on my current long list! In no particular order…

I would say the boys name I like are a mix of surname and classical. I don’t like names that are too out there or strongly associated with something. I also appreciate subtle themes so I feel when I consider sibling sets I try to tie in that. Here is my top contenders
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Ben[/name_m]( really any [name_m]Ben[/name_m] name I love ,[name_u]Bennett[/name_u],[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] , [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], etc.)
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_u]Clarke[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m]
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_m]Waylon[/name_m]
[name_u]Micha[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_u]Wendell[/name_u]
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
