My girl’s lists seems to always be growing, but I struggle with boys names. I have a couple that I really love, but other than that, the rest are just names I sorta like.
So, I would love your help growing my list! Please comment your all-time [name_m]FAVORITE[/name_m] boys name! And if you’d like, include 2 additional names that you’ve been loving as of recently.
Excited to see everyone’s name taste and possibly discover some new names!
Three boys names I have adored for a long time, and most likely will never stop adoring are; [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_m]Piers[/name_m].
Within the last 5 years or so I have added [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Soren[/name_m] to my short list. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_u]Gray[/name_u], and [name_m]George[/name_m] being ones that I could add to the list with [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_m]Piers[/name_m].
I find boys names very easy. I have a lot of trouble with girls names. I love a lot of girls names, but truly adoring them and a name I would give my daughter, I have a very short list.
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] names. I do quite like [name_m]Jack[/name_m], but can’t seem to get DH on board. Oh well! [name_m]Piers[/name_m] is nice, too. I like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], as well. This could be one that grows on me more.
Too funny that we’re the opposite with our names in being that you can easily find boys names and struggle with girls!
Oooh, so hard! Especially since I haven’t had the same favorite boys’ name my whole life.
Right now it’s technically [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], although at times I seriously doubt it and get bored with it, too. I don’t know that I’d actually use it if I had a baby tomorrow. I’m starting to wonder if I might use [name_m]Casper[/name_m] instead. I love the ties to [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]/the [name_f]Magi[/name_f], and I love the nns, I love everything about it. I might use [name_u]Everett[/name_u] instead, too–he’s also a huge favorite. I’m rather torn, I guess. But I can, with almost certainty, say he would be either [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], or [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], names I adore with all that is in me, and I swoon just about every time I see them.
My current favourite is [name_m]Otto[/name_m] I think, as a name that has really grown on me and I’m currently loving [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] as well. But in terms of long-term favourites I’ve always loved [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Abel[/name_m] as well.
My favourites change a lot but right now my top name is [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] nn [name_u]Drew[/name_u]. I like it because it is a strong name with rich history and it sounds good in both English and my native language. Other names I’m crushing on right now are [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m], [name_u]Emmet[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Eric[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m].
My favourite boy’s name by a very long way is [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. I adore it - it’s strange actually, I didn’t know until recently that my name would have been [name_m]Henry[/name_m] if I was born a boy! It’s a beautiful name, with history and class and it’s easily worn at any age, which is really important. I’m a huge bookworm, and there are so many wonderful book characters with the name: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Tilney (Northanger [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]) and my favourite book character ever, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] DeTamble from the Time [name_u]Traveller[/name_u]'s Wife It’s a name that’s always just felt right to me.
My second and third favourites right now are [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] - a completely different style to [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but I think they’re beautiful. The other name I’m really loving as a combo at the moment is [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Laurence[/name_u]. I’m not sure what it is about that, but I love it!
My boys’ favourites are pretty constant. My absolute favourite boys’ name of all time is [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] has been a long time favourite, unfortunately I don’t think I’ll actually use it.
I can’t give you just one… but I’ll give you the most recent favorites
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] ([name_m]Walt[/name_m])
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] ([name_m]Coby[/name_m])
[name_m]Callahan[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u])
That’s not in any specific order either… It’s so hard to choose!!
My favorites change so often that it’s hard to choose one. I’ve been loving [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] for years, though. It sounds nature-y without actually having a nature connection. It’s modern and unique enough, although it’s been rising in popularity since Twilight was released. [name_u]Kai[/name_u] is a close second.
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] and [name_m]Alec[/name_m] (or maybe [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] instead?)
I guess [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] wins top though. He’s consistently been my top name for the past 3/4 names and the others have been up there even longer (I’m just a little more on/off with them).
My favorite is [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], and is what we named our first. Our second born is [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]. Though I was rooting for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] so we compromised on his middle: [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].
I don’t really have and all-time favorite boy name. My favorites are constantly changing.
Right now, though, I am really liking [name_m]Edward[/name_m].
Others I like right now: [name_u]Gale[/name_u] and [name_u]Sage[/name_u] (and [name_u]Antoine[/name_u] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and [name_m]Johann[/name_m] :))
