Need new boys' names

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

So I have come to the conclusion that I need to find some more boys' names that I really love. Most of the ones that I like aren't names that I like as much as the names on my girl list, so I was hoping y'all could suggest some based on the girls. Basically I feel like I need some new ideas for boy names. I figure when you find yourself going through your list going "... Why is that on there again?", something is wrong. I've nymblered a lot, so I'm mostly looking for suggestions from elsewhere, but nymbler is okay, too. =) Not having kids now and won't be for a few years; mainly just trying to have a substantial-ish "list" so as to increase the odds of agreeing with a potential SO on something from said list.


ETA: If you'd like to give your opinion on the girl list, feel more than free. =)

Genevieve (Evey)
Matilda (Mattie)
Jane
Delilah (Lila)
Adelaide (Addie)
Juliet
Lucretia (Lucy)
Amelia
Fiona
Josephine (Josie)
June
Penelope
Violet
Claire/Clara
Lydia

There are others, but they tend to be more random with regard to the style, so hopefully that gives you a decent idea.



I guess I like classic names with a little bit of vintage thrown in? I think I like my girl names a touch more flowery than my boy names. The names I like best tend to seem both aesthetically-pleasing and "strong" to me. Definitely not a fan of the trendee and kry8tv.

My favorite boys' name right now is Alexander (Lex), but I think I'll stop there because I don't feel like I love the other names on my list as much as that one. So -- help me re-vamp my list? =D

You have very similar taste to some of my favorite names (Matilda, Delilah, Juliet, Amelia, Josephine, Violet, Lydia; I also have Louisa, Eliza, Harriet, Margaret, and Anne on my list). Anyway, these are some of the names I have on my list, and some names from Nymbler, and just some ones that I think fit that style:
Julian
Casper
Emmett
James
Henry
Jasper
Foster
Forrest
Hugh
Vincent
Adrian
Linus
Felix
Oscar
Louis
Simon
George
Leo
Russell
Graham
Saul
Curtis
Silas
Cormac
Joel
Gideon
Frederick
Giles
Calvin
Philip
Dexter
Ansel
Miles
Gene

Haha, why am I not surprised? ;) ILU. And I know I've said this before, but I love Harriet and think you should screw what your mom says and use it if you want to!

From your suggestions I like:

Julian (had this before, but obviously could not use it with Juliet, heh)
Henry
Vincent
Adrian (LOVE)
Felix
Simon
Leo (I love this, but it sounds like a nickname, and I don't like any of the obvious full names)
Saul
Silas
Joel
Miles
Gene (also sounds nicknamey, though, and Eugene just makes me think of taped glasses, haha)

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA. Oh my God. I need to start looking at usernames before I comment because I totally didn't even realize this was you posting until now.

I hear you on Leo, and same with Gene. I'm glad you like Adrian, Felix, Silas, Joel, and Miles, though: they're some of my favorites, too :)

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I will try to use icons more typical of me. xD

Miles has possibly been ruined for me because it's the name of a horrible fundamentalist preacher I know, but I think it's possibly redeemable. I have great associations with Adrian, although he was my assistant coach so if we continue to be friends, that might be odd, heh.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

See, this helps;) Kidding. I actually don't ever pay attention to icons, really, so I still probably wouldn't have noticed. I'm just dumb sometimes.

Miles and Adrian would make such awesome brother names, so that SUCKS.

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I like that, though! I think I could potentially get over Miles-the-preacher if my SO liked that name. He's just this person who (along with a Jesse, an Eli, and an Evan) came to my school shrieking about how people who engage in "premarital kissing" are going to hell. And occasionally his mom remarks that I would be such a nice, godly wife for him if I only weren't a heathen. >>

(And I know I use this icon a lot, so...)

Thanks! Glad you like them! =D

I like:

Oliver
Edward (Twatlight has stolen this for now, but it's my dad's middle name)
Luke (trying to decide if I like it better on its own or as a nn for something)
Miles
Jesse (unfortunately, Miles and Jesse are the names of some insane fundamentalist preachers I know, so I'm pretty sure those names have been ruined for me =()
Era
Liam
Asa
Jude
Eliot
Henry
Leo
Nico (I think it would probably be inappropriate for me to use Nikolai, as I have no Russian heritage, but I love it.)
Noah
Nathaniel

So basically you were right that we have a lot in common. xD

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Nico (I think it would probably be inappropriate for me to use Nikolai, as I have no Russian heritage, but I love it.)

I knew a little boy named Nicolas who went by Nico...doesn't have to come from Nikolai!
:-)

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know it can be for Nicholas, too, but I've loved Nikolai and have had a strange fascination with Russian culture since middle school. This may be one reason why I'm considering adopting from Russia. =)

And I knew a little boy named Nicolas who was called Nickles. xD

Benjamin
Nicolas
Andrew
Adam
Charles
Glenn
Stuart
Lawrence
Thomas
Gerald
Geoffery
Gregory
Samuel
David
Daniel
Christopher
Maximillian
Isaac
Zachary
Leon
Anthony


I've no idea if you'll like those... or if they even fit in with your taste, but that's what came to me. =)

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Andrew is one of my favorite names, and I am cursing myself for using it on a character. It probably suits him better than any future child I'd have, but it's sadly off limits because that would be just too weird for me, haha.

I really like Isaac and Samuel, and the following are starting to grow on me:

Benjamin
Nicholas (Nikolai is my favorite variation of this, but alas I am not Russian)
Charles (I love superhero names way too much. Harvey would totally be on my list if I didn't totally want to call a child Lex.)
Thomas
David
Anthony (see Charles, haha)

[apathykisses.livejournal.com]

I love all of your girls names! ♥

I'll list some of my favorite names for boys (some have already been suggested, so I left them out).

Quincy (Quin)
Owen
Parker
Warren
Clyde
Bennett
Kenneth
Tristan
Ciaran
Sebastian
Dean

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

Well, if you like superhero/villain names (I love Lex too), use them! Let me see what do we have here...

Bruce
Richard
Jason
Timothy
Alfred
Clark
Joseph
John
Arthur
Kyle
Harold
Wallace
James
Logan
Scott
Charles
Robert
Henry
Victor
Steve
Peter

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

*loves you* I think I recognize waaaay too many of those names. Clark is another one of my favorite names, but obviously I couldn't use that with Lex because even I am not that crazy. I would totally love to use Harvey, though (the guy in my icon and Milk, really).

Also love:

Bruce
Timothy
James
Logan
Scott
Charles
Henry
Victor
Peter

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

Clark and Lex would make a really cool sibset. Who knows, maybe they could be friends like in the early seasons of Smallville and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

But back to the topic. How could I forget Daredevil? Matthew is really nice name, don't you think? Also, there are Nathan, Sam, Kurt, Calvin, Kevin, Bart, Conner...

But take a look at these, I'm sure you'll love them:
