You may have seen my similar post for girl names, but this is one for boy names. I have been struggling with names I like since most of the ones I did like I can no longer use do to various reasons (Benjamin, [name_m]Finnian[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], etc.). However, there are some new ones that I have found and have been considering. I would like them to sound okay with the name [Tessa] (older half-sister). I have six names and I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you think of them all and I would be happy to hear any suggestions or recommendations. I tend to struggle more with boy names. Thank you!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites on your list are [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] and [name_m]Lukas[/name_m]! [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] is unexpected, but still classic and familiar. Of all the names, I think [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] flows with [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] the best.

I think they all sound fine with [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], but I particularly like [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] - they share a bright quirkiness. [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is my personal favourite and I also think [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] is very handsome.

[name_m]Clayton[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] → handsome and charming - contemporary but solid
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] → sort of outdoorsy, rugged and adventurous-vibes but gentle natured too
[name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] → solid and sharp, a safe choice
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] → gentle but strong at the same time - something literary about it too
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Reece[/name_m] → distinctive and sharp, a hint of poshness but [name_m]Reece[/name_m] grounds it
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Wade[/name_m] → earthy and outdoorsy, love it!
A few suggestions (feel free to split the combos up):
[name_m]Wallace[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Landon[/name_m] a lot; [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is sweet! I would also love [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] is handsome, too; I think I prefer [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Reece[/name_m], though…. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] has a lot of L sounds close together? Also love [name_m]Wade[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] but [name_m]Russell[/name_m] and [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] don’t do much for me, sorry! I think I would vote for [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] (or [name_m]Reece[/name_m] or Alexander), but [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is lovely and classic.
Good luck!

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Elliott[/name_m] is a very charming and timeless choice! Sophisticated, handsome and friendly sounding.
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Wade[/name_m] is very interesting and cool. It reminds me of sports, for some reason. [name_m]Russell[/name_m] nowadays sounds quite refreshing.
[name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is a wonderful name! [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] is one of my favorite names, so I’m also very happy to see [name_m]Lukas[/name_m]. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is a great middle name, very strong and captivating.
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Reece[/name_m] is unexpected but a very elegant choice. The combo flows well. [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] is an excellent underused name!
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] sounds gentle and sweet. I believe it has a modern and charismatic vibe.
From your list, [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] in my least favorite first name, but its meaning is very poetic and pleasant. [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] flows beautifully.
In my opinion, with Tess@, I believe [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_m]Lukas[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] will create an amazing set.

I love actually quite a few!! I love [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] and [name_m]Quentin[/name_m].
Not sure if middles are family names or not? But, I personally think some of the middle names are off. Using the names you have I would do:
[name_m]Clayton[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m]
[name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Wade[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Reece[/name_m]

[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] are my favorites with [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I love [name_m]Russell[/name_m] but I feel it shares too many of the same sounds with [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] ( the double s).
