Why are boy names so hard

Please let me know your opinions on all the names we have currently.

[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Preston[/name_m]
[name_m]Logan[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]

I don’t feel particularly strongly about any of them currently. It’s so hard to find names that aren’t too common. I’ve spent hours looking and nothings feeling right :tired_face::tired_face:

What a great list of names! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_m]Otis[/name_m] & [name_m]Felix[/name_m] :yellow_heart: They have a really distinct, handsome sound and timeless feel which I love! I also quite like [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] (although when it comes to Ru- names I slightly prefer Ruben!). I’m not a fan of surname names since I tend to go for more classic options, but I think the sound of [name_m]Preston[/name_m] is really sweet and friendly. [name_m]Logan[/name_m] is my least favourite on the list - it’s a perfectly fine name, but it feels a bit less interesting than your other choices?

[name_m]Otis[/name_m] - adorable and very cool with many amazing musical namesakes!

[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] - sweet and strong. I love the caring connotations in [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m].

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] - really shining at the moment. I feel it’s becoming a modern classic, by that I mean having a surge in popularity but it feels timeless (like Theodore).

[name_m]Preston[/name_m] - sounds very smart. I don’t think I’ve ever met a [name_m]Preston[/name_m] so it also feels “very American” from my [name_m]Brit[/name_m] POV.

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - another adorable. I love that the nn [name_m]Roo[/name_m] is an option.

[name_m]Otis[/name_m] and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] are by far my favourites!

Otis → quirky, cute-but-cool, with that lovely O sound

Shepherd → gentle but rugged with a handsome vibe

Felix → cheerful and bubbly but stylish too

Preston → it’s not a favourite - I think it’s that ‘press’ sound, but I can also see how it is cool

Logan → solid and foresty

Rupert → clunky cute and preppy

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] is my favorite name from your top choices! [name_m]Felix[/name_m] has a distinct sound. It’s traditional but unexpected at the same time. The meaning “happy, fortunate, lucky” is wonderful.

[name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]. I belive it is really for a comeback. Ru is the cutest nickname. It’s strong, charming and elegant.
