You have a very interesting list with a variety of styles. I was going to choose my names based on the style of your other 8, but it seems so random to me. I like that.
I ended up choosing my own favorites from your list: [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Declan[/name].
I love [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Jude[/name] with some of my other favorites from your list - [name]Jack[/name], [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Brody[/name] !
The only “new” names I don’t really like are [name]Spencer[/name] ( just bugs me for some reason) and [name]Boaz[/name].
[name]Boaz[/name]! Biblical like [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Asher[/name], B name like [name]Brody[/name] and [name]Bailey[/name].
Also voted for [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Tobin[/name], and [name]Zane[/name].
Thanks, ladies! I think I’ve decided that [name]Leo[/name]'s out. I like it, but I can’t exactly imagine using it… and a horrid former boss of mine had the name [name]Leo[/name]. I liked it because of the image of a lion and the fact that I could easily use it to honor my grandpa (who was just L. B., no actual name), but I just can’t get past that, I don’t think. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the future…
And I’m leaning more and more toward making [name]Spencer[/name] number 9, but I can’t quite commit to it quite yet… all the others are up in the air atm, but I think I am liking [name]Boaz[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], and [name]Zane[/name] the most today (in addition to [name]Spencer[/name]…).
[name]Spencer[/name] and [name]Tobin[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name]. I love the nicknames [name]Spence[/name] and [name]Toby[/name]. [name]Both[/name] so cool! [name]Both[/name] are on my list.
Thanks! I think I’ve decided for sure that [name]Spencer[/name] is number 9. That leaves me with one more spot, and I have no clue which one to use for the last spot!
I think I’ve decided for sure to drop [name]Zane[/name] and [name]Judah[/name], though–[name]Zane[/name] is one of my MN’s for [name]Asher[/name], and I just can’t see using [name]Judah[/name]. And I think [name]Elijah[/name]'s out because it feels more like a MN than a FN to me right now (I’m thinking maybe [name]Spencer[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] something or other). And [name]Leo[/name]'s still out. So that leaves [name]Boaz[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] ([name]Sam[/name]), and [name]Tobin[/name] ([name]Toby[/name]). Which of those five goes best with [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Grayson[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Brody[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], and [name]Spencer[/name]? Which is least Biblical/Hebrew or surnamey? I feel bad for [name]Jack[/name], he’s kind of all on his own, style-wise…
