I was bored in class and decided to make a boy name list. I have a good meaty girl one and I always have such a hard time with boy names! Here is what I came up with. The ones in bold are my absolute favorites, italics are ones I will probably not use but I like them still.

Jude
Jasper
Christopher
Travis
Thomas
Tobias
Edward
Lennon (though I would never put this with Paul or Jude)
Paul
Damien (which do you like better? Damien, Damian or Damion?)
Halvor
Osbourne
Zachary
Nathaniel
Elijah
Poe - Only as a middle name though

Thoughts? Name combo suggestions?

I love Nathaniel, and I like Jude, Lennon, Paul, Elijah and Zachary. Travis is nice too, and Poe is cute, but they're not names I'd use myself. As for Damian...I like this spelling!

I think Paul & Jude sound great with a longer name, so Nathaniel Jude or Jude Nathaniel, Paul Christopher/Christopher Paul. I also think Lennon Thomas sounds nice.

Honestly, the only name on your list that I don't care for is Halvor. I even really like Poe! And I'm quite a fan of the semi-Beatles theme you've got going on with a few of the names, be it intentional or not. :-)

Christopher Jude
Thomas Jude
Nathaniel Jude
Elijah Jude
Zachary Paul
Damian Edward

Just a few combos I like.

Sure thing!

I like Lennon a lot, too, I just had a hard time pairing it with other names on your list. I'm not sure what I'd use it with, though, as far as non-list names go.

I'm the one that asked if Poe and Eliot were too over-the-top for a sibset, so I m really glad to see that someone else likes it. :)

Jude Lennon is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. i'd use the name Jude, but will probably never pair it with Lennon :(

i tell my friends that i'm going to name my children after beatles songs. i love the names Sadie and Lucy.

I wanted to name our son Osborne (spelt without the 'u')
My OH wanted to name him Oz and Osborne is my grandad's original surname (He was adopted when he was 2 and his surname was changed to Rapley) It made sense to me but the OH vetoed it *shrug*

I've always thought of Jasper as a dogs name but I love Tobias (another name vetoed by the OH)

I would spell it Damian. It just looks right to me with an 'a'.
