HelpSome boys names
Replies
Adam is nice but I wouldn't use it.
Frederick is a mature, reasonable name but Fredrick is less complicated on the tongue and pen.
I love Graham inexplicably.
Henry is nice. It sounds really British to me for some reason.
I love Kit. Kind of a guilty pleasure.
I love Owen. It's one of my favorite Gaelic names if not my most favorite.
I am not fond of Wilbur although I love the pig from Charlotte's Web.

Adam - Good name if you're Christian, but otherwise, it's much too biblical to use.
Frederick - Not bad. It's a bit dated, but I think it deserves more, to be honest.
Graham - I hate this name, I'm so sorry. It sounds and looks so unpleasant to me.
Henry - A classic you can't go wrong with. Try Henri or Hendrix for a unique twist.
Kit - This reads as a girl name to me due to the American Girl doll.
Nicholas - Another classic you can't go wrong with. I would again recommend a more unique spelling, like Nicolas or Nikolas, or even Nikolai.
Owen - I think the "Ow" at the beginning is just ugly, sorryyy.
Wilbur - AN UNDERRATED NAME THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK RIGHT NOW (I love this name!)

Adam: I really like it, but probably wouldn't use it. Still, I find it strong and robust. There's a reason why it's so common.
Frederick: Neutral. It doesn't do anything for me, but I also don't dislike it. Just one of those names that's just there really. I'd probably use it for a character if it suited them.
Graham: I don't care for it that much. I mean I don't despise it; far better than some names out there, but at the same time it just doesn't really do it for me. It reminds me of some guy our family used to know who was a ragging alcoholic and just overall bad news. It also of course brings to mind the crackers and of words like telegram and gram. Still, I far prefer Bram.
Henry: Neutral. It's decent but at the same time overrated, which is why I'm still surprised it made it's way into the top 10's. Like it's a nice respectable name and all, but it isn't that nice. It's at least better than "Hank" which I don't find attractive at all.
Kit: My least favorite from this list. I don't necessarily hate it though. I just find it insubstantial. Short names certainly exists, but Kit just seems like it's missing/lacking something. I'm also not sure how I feel about it on a boy. I guess I can't really see it working as an actual name rather than as just a nn.
Nicholas: I like it, but not enough to use or to even add onto my list. Maybe one day though. It's certainly decent. I just wish I didn't think of the word, ridiculous every time.
Owen: Same category with Henry: Both decent yet overrated. I know so many who named their sons this in recent years, both online and in real-life, but I'm just rather nonchalant towards it. I like it more than Henry though.
Wilbur: This is a particular one for me. I'm of course reminded of the pig from Charlotte's Web, but it's also a name that I have a deep connection to, only with a slightly different spelling. I like it, but then I'm probably extremely biased. I also like the old time-y and old fashioned vibes that that it has.

Adam - very boring indeed.
Frederick - amusingly dated, but I don't mind Fred and could really enjoy Derek, so why not Derick?
Graham - family name, which I like a lot. ETA where I live and how I speak, it's two syllables: GRAYum.
Henry - limp and flabby.
Kit - only as a nn for Christopher, and probably not even then. Very feline.
Nicholas - I like it; DH refused to consider it, saying 'I won't send a son of mine out into the world without underpants.'
Owen - OKish if it's left alone; I met an Owie once and it spoilt my day.
Wilbur - as in Smith? No: there are better ways to achieve a son known as Wil or Will: William obviously, and Wilfred. Wilbur is too dated.

Adam: Reminds me of He-Man.
Frederick: The long way to get to Freddy/Freddie. Kind of stuffy in that overstuffed-leather-chair-in-an-old-library kind of way.
Graham: Patty's useless, cheating husband from "My So-Called Life". Graham sucks.
Henry: Classic, strong, royal. Also boring.
Kit: I love it. I wish it was more popular than Chris.
Nicholas: Charming, but also kind of devious. I don't know why.
Owen: Why did this become so popular? It's okay, but it's also pretty dorky. I guess that's what people like about it.
Wilbur: This is a pig who is saved by a spider. Sweet story, though.
