Re: My Boys Short List from High School
I also liked Hezekiah when I was in high school. I still think it's kinda nice. The overlap with Kai makes it accessible.I don't think Tristan or Milo are particularly conservative, unless it's artsy-adventurous-conservative. Tristan sounds nice but reminds me of the similar word meaning "sad", and Milo seems like a cat name. I prefer Myles.I like Leo and Joseph ok but not really the combo. Leo seems classic/trendy, and Joseph is reliable. Edward's so staid; I never liked it. I never liked Wesley either although Wes by itself is nice enough. I find Matthew really dull but also associate 90s/00s nostalgia so am slightly fond of its dullness.I hate Roman.I think Elias is my fav of the group. It's like the perfect blend of the rest.ETA: my fav of the combos is Tristan Matthew, the middle child. And Leo does seem like an older brother name somehow.

Ohh, it's like he-ze-Kai-a. I was pronouncing it he-zee-ki-a, like Ezekiel.
Yeah, same type of thing as Jeremiah, Zechariah, etc.
(speaking in a traditional English context anyway)
