Whimsical, earthy name for our son

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], everyone!

I posted yesterday in the [name_f]Girl[/name_f] Names forum about the name my husband suggested for our baby if it’s a girl: [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]. It’s very much our style, and we’re really loving it.

However, we are having the hardest time coming up with a boy alternative. This will be our 6th child, so we’ve really exhausted our arsenal, and I always find boys to be so much more challenging to name. We have been kicking around the names [name_m]August[/name_m], [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_f]Wren[/name_f] (which we love, but can’t use because our last name is Ross), [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], and [name_m]Odin[/name_m]. We’re all over the map for boys. Could you guys help us come up with a boy name with a similar feel to [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]?

OMG, [name_m]Soren[/name_m] & [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] go so so well together imo, if you were for a sibset.
But how cute is [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] plum? [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] has a bit of a sharpness and mysterious vibes, and then [name_f]Plum[/name_f] just makes it so cute.
I love the idea of [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Leaf[/name_m], it’s so cool I want to steal it. :leaves:

You could have [name_m]Soren[/name_m] as the actual first name and use [name_f]Wren[/name_f] as a nickname if you want? He’d probably still end up best known as [name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_m]Ross[/name_m] if you go with that but my dog is referred to as [name_f]Hollie[/name_f] Holl- at the vet so it’s not as bad as it could be? Middle name wise I’m not quite so sure, but that’s kind of just me being bad with middle names in general.
