I’m looking for names for my boys list, I have so many girls names but I have a hard time finding boys names I love. My favorites are [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Callister[/name], but after that I’m lost! I can find problems with every boys name I like and consider adding to my list. So far I’v considered
[name]Boone[/name]- only one sylible, and [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Callister[/name] are already different styles, [name]Boone[/name] doesn’t seem similar at all!
[name]Rueben[/name]- ends with -n like [name]Gideon[/name], too similar to my ears
[name]Malcolm[/name]- [name]Mal[/name] is to similar to [name]Cal[/name]
[name]Alaric[/name]- same as [name]Malcolm[/name], plus it starts with “A” as does my second favorite girls name
[name]Ambrose[/name]- seems soft to me and starts with A, plus there’s no good nn
[name]Ezekiel[/name]- starts with E as does my favorite girls name
[name]Evander[/name]- starts with E, ends with r like [name]Callister[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]- starts with A, ends with r, popular right now
[name]Everett[/name]- starts with E and seems trendy
So any suggustions? I also want names that have easy nicknames, like Gid for [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Cal[/name] for [name]Callister[/name].
I’ve only heard [name]Alaric[/name] pronounced Uh-lar-ick. So it wouldn’t start with that [name]Cal[/name], [name]Mal[/name], etc sound. And it could have [name]Rick[/name] as a nickname if you like.
We have a [name]Gideon[/name] and soon to have a [name]Calvin[/name], here are some of the names we have tossed around, don’t know if it’ll help.
[name]Atticus[/name]
[name]Dashiell[/name] ([name]Dash[/name])
[name]Dexter[/name]
[name]Mordecai[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name] ([name]Finn[/name])
[name]Love[/name] [name]Alaric[/name]!
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Byron[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Troy[/name]
[name]Lorcan[/name]
[name]Leonidas[/name]
Thanks for the ideas!
mamabear87 - I like [name]Atticus[/name] but I think the first sylible is a little too close to [name]Adelheid[/name]. I like the idea of Mordicai, ([name]Esther[/name] is one of my favorite Bible women) but I’m not crazy about the sound and I can’t think of a good nn to go with it. Thanks for the correct pronunciation of [name]Alaric[/name], that definantly makes me reconsider it.
mbrow222 - I knda like [name]Thaddeus[/name], it’s one I shall have to ponder. I like [name]Beckett[/name] too, but it seems tredy to me.
Any more suggustions? Any ideas of nicknames for Mordicai?
I really like the nickname [name]Kai[/name] or [name]Cai[/name] (pronounced [name]Ky[/name]) for Mordicai.
