So me and my SO can't come up with any boy names that we agree on,
I like names like Jackson, Rhys, Carter and he likes names like Algrenon, Hernest and Earl,
Which I would never even contemplate naming my child!!!!

Anybody think they can find some middle ground?

[Waxie]

Perhaps names like:

 

Mortimer

Carlisle

Jameson

Graeme

Marcell 

Norman

Earnest

Ned

Leroy

Leland

Howard

Drew

Clifford

Thoren

Alistair

Sameth

Fisher

Gunnar

Alois

Irving

Edgar

Harold

Keirnan

Killian

Claude

Tobias

Judah

Bernard

Paulson

Sorrel

Ransom

Romeo

Balthazar

Johnston

Rhoslin

Leigh

Castiel

Calcifer

Talon

Fallon

Calder

Brentlee

Edison

Martin

Carter

Magnus

Timothy

Fritz

Holden

Oakley 

Jensen

 

Perhaps one of those might inspire something for the two of you Best of luck!

Ahh I love Algernon! And Jackson and Carter, too.

 

It seems you have two options: making a combo of one name you like and one name he likes (preferably with you each pegging the other person's selection as "tolerable"), such as Jackson Earl, or finding a name that fits both styles

 

I'll suggest some ideas for the second option:

You seem to like well-known modern, trendier names and he seems to like uncommon vintage names with history. So I'll search out some vintage names with a modern-ish sound, with varying popularity.

 

Silas

Van

Digby

Jasper

Fergus

Audie

Vincent

Otto

Roscoe

Tobias

Montgomery

Ezra

Melvin

Archie (Archer)

Asa

Calvin

Thoreau

 

Like any? Want more?
