Keep, toss, add boys names

Pepper6 · June 2016

This is round 2 so far with our boys list, so let's play keep, toss, add. Last name starts with R, needs to coordinate with big sister Gwendolyn, tend to like longer name w/nn options, and we prefer older/classic names that aren't too trendy/popular.

Current list is:
Wesley
Nicholas
Silas
Jasper
Felix

Names we liked, but have tossed for various reasons:
Oliver
Sebastian
Dexter
Mitchell

I would toss Wesley and Silas. Nothing particularly wrong with them, they're just NMS and don't seem like there are good NN for them (other than Wes, which just reminds me of an old unsavory man).

I'd bring Oliver and Sebastian back to the table if possible, and would also add Oscar, Benjamin, Theodore, and Augustus.

Wesley- like
Nicholas- like
Silas- ok
Jasper - toss
Felix- toss

I don't think Jasper and Felix fit as older/classic names. They feel much more modern/trendy.

I would second adding Benjamin and maybe Alexander and Nathaniel as options too.

To be honest there is not a bad name on either list. I guess toss Felix it's just my least favorite.

Jasper or Silas are probably my favorite. Classic but a little spunk like Gwendolyn

add

Walter
Marshall
Clinton
edward or Edmund
Russell
Benedict

I love every name on your list. I'd probably keep Felix and Jasper.

kmvisioli · June 2016

Wesley- toss. Don't like it paired with Gwendolen (Gwen and Wes are too matchy or something).
Nicholas- keep
Silas- keep, this is my fave from your list.
Jasper- toss
Felix- I could go either way with this one

add: Declan, Atticus, James, Alexander, Bradley
