What Would You Suggest?

Boy Names
1

I think I need to freshen up my boy names list, kick it up a notch. You know the drill.

The Criteria
2 syllables or more (4 syllable limit), nickname flexibility, not too safe ([name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] etc). No virtue, word names.

Now you do not have to follow the criteria to a T, I’m willing to drop the nickname flexibility part to an extent.

For reference, here is my current list:

[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Kian[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Tavish[/name_m]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Tam[/name_m]
[name_m]Ragnar[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
Wilkin
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]

I’m interested to see your suggestions.

Thanks!
