Re: Alternatives To The Top 20 Most Popular Names - Male Edition
in reply to a message by EsmeLily
1 Leland - it feels stronger, like the NN Lee, dislike Liam
2 Noah - dislike Joah, it feels like Noah and Joe combined
3 Franklin - like both, Franklin is less common
4 James - Ames feels like a NN for Amy
5 Elijah - dislike both, Elijah sounds slightly better
6 Tadeo - dislike both, Tadeo just because it's less common
7 Isidore - again, like both, but I don't know a single Isidiore except the hurricane. Would be cool to see it on a human.
8 Henry - both are OK but not my favorites
9 Lucas - it feels stronger and doesn't cause pronunciation issues
10 William - William; Winston feels too preppy
11 Benjamin - like the sound better, and Benedict feels too religious
12 Levon, but I prefer Lev to both
13 Sebastian, but August would win over Sebastian. Augustus is too stuffy.
14 Jack; Mack feels too nicknamey and old-fashioned
15 Ezra - prefer the sound to Ira
16 Michael - always liked the sound and look, even though it's always been very popular
17 Daniel - same as with Michael. Michael and Daniel feel rather timeless while Oliver and Theodore feel rather vintage/trendy.
18 Leo - like both as NNs but neither as a full name. Leo just because of the sign.
19 Lowen - not a fan of either. Owen is too vowel heavy, it sounds like a sigh. Prefer Lowell to both.
20 Samuel - no strong feelings toward either
