Re: Opinions on my boys'
in reply to a message by Ninor
I'd keep:
Phineas - just because it's an old fave of mine :) nn Phin is very modern
Evander - very modern sound, while still a unique name
Callum - Cal is a great nn
Ian - I've always had a soft spot for Ian
Roan - like it, and Rowan
I'd remove
Aison - sounds like Mason with no M. Kinda out there.
Albert - a little too old fashioned
Aimes / Ames - this sounds pretty cool, I am on the verge of keeping it... but it might be too surnamey
Cassian - sounds made up
Devin - this is okay, just not a fave of mine
Gaston - not even the good guy in Beauty and the Beast
Hayden - this is on the cusp, makes me think of Hayden Christianson
Indi / Indie / Indy - Indiana Jones
Isaiah - just not a fave of mine, sounds too religious for me
Jethro - sounds too hillbilly for me
Kaelan (KAY-lən) - this is on a cusp. My husband has a cousin by this name, spelled Cealan
Kelan (KEE-lən) - it doesn't flow well off the tongue. The similar Keagan feels more natural
Ludwig - too old and German
Matteo - it's on the cusp, just nms
Raphael - it's on the cusp, just too religious for me, being an Angel name
Sidney - I actually LOVE Sidney, but I can't see it coming back for boys any time soon
