Preppy Boy Names

Clover315 · July 2012

I tend to gravitate towards preppy, usually one syllable boy names. What are ur thoughts on the below and any more ideas?

Brooks

Pierce/Pierson

Reid

Crew/Cruz - could this be nicknames for a more substantial name?

Carter

I love Reid. Pierce is ok. I do not really like Brooks, Cruz, or Carter. I strongly dislike Crew!

Here are some more suggestions...

Ames

Dean

Grant

Love them all except for Pierce/Pierson. I prefer Preston instead. And def Cruz- not Crew!

I never thought of Reid as a preppy name.

Lance, Preston, Blaine, Sterling... absolutely.

Reid & Carter are nice.

Brooks, Pierce/Pierson are NMS

and Crew/Cruz is just eh to me.

Other suggestions:
Lowell
Grant
Hugh
Dane
Finn
Tate
Graham

We have the same taste! I have two boys already... Reed and Pierce. If this one is a boy he will be Grant. We also liked Brooks, Dean, Seth, Graeme, and Noel

I like Pierce best.

Cruz has a religious connotation to me, not preppy.

Suggestions: Tad, Bradley, Chad, Blaine, any family surname

I agree with these. Preppy should lean towards classical, not trendy. These are classical.

I'm not crazy about Brooks, and Cruz is something that's done in a car. To me.

Blaine came to mind.

Preston is a great name!

My mil recommended Pierce the other night and I had a very intense negative reaction. Not a fan. I'm not find of most of these.

What do you think of Rhys or Reese? Heath? Brent? Trent?

I love, love the name Brooks. I would use it, but my nephew has that for his middle name. It was a family name on his Dad's side. I have a Preston and a Tyler, so I am looking for a preppy-ish name or unique name. I have a huge list, and of course, DH and I agree on nothing. He likes Dylan and Trey. Some I like (not nec. preppy) are Hayes, Auden, Ellis, Porter, Nash, Sawyer, Hudson, Lawson, Lincoln, Mayer, Pryce, Bretton, Creighton, Palmer, and Ledger. I have a list of about 20 more elsewhere:)
