I once knew a little boy named Dorian. I honestly never quite loved it until I read The Picture of Dorian Gray, which sounds weird because Dorian Gray isn't a great character. But recently I've started thinking about it again. I am thinking of adding it to my GP list as a middle name.

 

Oscar Wilde did have a charming combo; Dorian Gray. But I think I'd want a different one. My go-to is pairing it with my beloved Ezra, Ezra Dorian. Hmm. Jasper Dorian, maybe? 

 

What are your thoughts? What combo would YOU put it in?

The flow is a little off with Jasper Dorian. Think it's the close R sounds?
Dorian Jasper is more my style. I do like Dorian though! You might also consider Darwin or Deacon.

Wilde and Oscar are also wonderful IMO :wub:

I do love Dorian Jasper <3

 

I wish I could use Darwin, but as someone who doesn't like Charles Darwin I think it is kind of unusable.  :( Deacon was actually on my list until it became characterized as a "country" name where I live. That's not a bad thing, but I am definitely not country. lol.  :D 

 

I absolutely adore Wilde. It's been on and off my list.

Mm.. maybe Declan or Donnal? Dean, Dexter, Darcy.. my brain is a little mushy.

I love Wilde. And Wilder too. Mostly as a middle though.. don't think I would be brave enough to use it as a first name.

Yeah, I just don't know. I do love Darcy. Thanks for the ideas!

 

I would definitely keep Wilde as a middle, it seems a bit more tasteful that way? Wilder isn't for me, though :P
