[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering what vibe people get from this name, and what siblings you would expect him to have.
I have a feeling that it’s the type of name that people’s impressions will vary greatly on.
For me, the shakespeare connection is strong and it seems somewhat adventerous (probably due to an explorer namesake). It gives me a similar vibe to [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- old but strong and handsome.
I love the name [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]! I definitely associate it with adventure. [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] would make great sibling names. Other suggestions -
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Lazarus[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m]
[name_m]Julius[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
I’m sure it would be a perfectly lovely name but all that comes to mind is the start of World War 1.
omgoodness, I adore [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]! It seems so historical, and international. I met a [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] (or [name_m]Ferdinando[/name_m]?), who went by [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], which I thought was perfection, too. I do think of [name_m]Franz[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], but the history surrounding both world wars (especially in Europe!) really intrigues me, so it just reminds me of a period I love (even though his death was tragic and marked the beginning of a lot of violence and death and evil). I’m not sure I’d have the guts to use [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] as a FN, but I’d love to meet a little [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], and I might consider it as a middle name.
I’m not sure what other names it reminds me of? Maybe [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] or [name_m]Johannes[/name_m] or something.
Thank you for the positive replies! I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes it
I love [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]! <3
Thank you all for your replies!
I love [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]. For sibs, I’d imagine long names like [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m], [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_m]Sebastien[/name_m], and etc
I like nat108’s ideas on sibling names. I really like [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]. It does feel strong and handsome. I love [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] as a nickname. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is more of a hipster name to me (I see a lot of little Atticuses running around these days) thanks to TKAMB being so popular.
