HelpBill, Beck, Thom, Clem...
Lately, I've been really into tough-sounding, Western-feeling boys' names. For fns, I like old-fashioned nns, and for mns I like surnames. I really like the sound and look of these, but probably wouldn't use them because, for the most part, they aren't related to family names/important things to honor, etc.
WDYT of...
Bill Brewer or James Brewer "Bru"
Beck Kenzeth - I realize the K sounds blend on this, but I love how it looks
Clemente Frank "Clem"
Lawrence Lynn "Larry" or "Lynn"
I'm also looking to pair Thom and Dillon with a fn and a mn, respectively. I like the combo Thom Dillon a lot, but I think it's too similar to Dylan Thomas.
WDYT?

Bill Brewer -- I'd like Brewer if it were a family name for you. Otherwise, it looks like the parents are alcoholics. Bill is a nice nn, but I wouldn't use it without William, Willem, etc.
Beck Kenzeth -- Kenzeth? Again, only if it's a family surname for you. Beck is nice. Refreshing.
Clemente Frank -- I love Clement for a boy. But Clemente reminds me of San Clemente, the prison. Frank is great to see. But aren't these two names together reminiscent of the gunfight at the OK corral? I could be wrong on this, but it's ringing bells.
Lawrence Lynn -- I'm not into repeated first initials, but I love both names. It's nice to see the nn Larry being considered again.
I wouldn't put Thom and Dillon together. Dylan Thomas is too distracting. The Thom spelling is OK for a nn, but the, "Where is the -as at the end?" thing makes me eyes itch. Thomas Evan, Thomas Owen, Thomas Morgan? The only spelling I like is Dylan; Dillon looks too surname-y to me.

I really like Clemente Frank and Lawrence Lynn. Or maybe you could try Beck Brewer? :)
