Forester is my fav!

I don’t really love any of the names because I don’t think they feel too fresh - which is what you wanted. They’re all ok names, just NMS. My favourite -er name are [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] & [name_m]Adler[/name_m]. They are fresh, spunky and fun.

Thanks waverly123! Maybe “fresh” wasn’t the best word. I like traditional somewhat preppy names with history, but I’m looking for something that’s not too common. Names ending in “-er” really go best with my last name, hence the reason for the search!

My favorite from your list is [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]. Second choice is [name_m]Miller[/name_m].

I voted for [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], but I also like [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] and [name_m]Miller[/name_m]

[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] is one if my all time favorites!

I voted for [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], I think [name_u]Spence[/name_u] is a really cute nickname.

My favorites from your list are [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m], and [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]. Maybe you’d like [name_m]Thayer[/name_m]?

I like [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], and [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] best, probably in that order. I also like [name_m]Fielder[/name_m] as a GP, but probably wouldn’t use it.

My favorite -er name, though, is [name_m]Casper[/name_m]. Followed by [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], Kuiper ([name_u]KYE[/name_u]-per), and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (does [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] count?). [name_m]Glover[/name_m] and [name_u]Mercer[/name_u] also intrigue me a lot.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback! Interestingly, [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] is a family name so I’m glad to see that’s a top choice! [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] is my personal favorite (and another family name), but it doesn’t seem to be too popular among this group or those I’ve polled in real life. Could anyone tell me why they don’t like (or do like) the name [name_m]Fraser[/name_m]?

[name_m]Macallister[/name_m] is inspired! Fabulous as a full name, but lots of wonderful nickname possibilities - [name_m]Mac[/name_m], Allister, [name_m]Al[/name_m]…
