This is my boys addition of my name list.I have absolutely no combos at all. Just a crazy list of boy's names that I like/love. Please feel free to leave comments on the names, list your favorites and least favorites, make combos using names on my list or names off my list that you think I might like, or help in any other way that you would like. I understand that not all of these names may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I like all of them, though some more than others. If you have any concerns about a certain name, I definitely want to hear them, for this list as well as on my girl's name list.

Bracken
Hayes~ most likely only a mn unless I can find an amazing combo that I love it as the first name in
Simon~ my newest crush
Henry~ fn only. It is my brother's, dad's, and grandfather's mn. This tradition goes back like seven generations or something. I asked if I could use it as a first name because I love, and was given the okay. I can't use it as a middle name though, because my brother will already be using it as his oldest son's mn andI feel like I should only use it asa fn. It is obviously an hororing name.
Neal
Caden
Calvin~ prefer as a fn but am open to it as a mn
Cullen~ prefer as a fn but am open to it as a mn
mn
Clark~ prefer as a first name but am open to it as a mn
Callem
Emmett
Jasper
Elijah "Eli"
Isaiah
Roland "Ro"
Sawyer
Theo
Holden
Hayden
Lincoln
Liam
Logan
Decklin~ I don't like the 'Declan' spelling. Every time I see it my mind mentally says (DEE CLAN) Then I get confused and remember how it actually sounds and I love how it actually sounds. I have never mispronounced it or had any trouble with the 'Decklin' spelling. Help?
Harrison~ Would just call him Harrison. I hate the nn Harry.
Gray
Graham~ pronounced like you would pronounce it in 'Graham Cracker'.

LOVE:

Hayes - This is one I've loved for a while. Kind of trendy with a classic feel, it's great.

Henry - A nice, strong classic. Bonus that it's a family name.

Jasper - Love it! I'm also a fan of Caspar.

Elijah - Super handsome! I love Eli names (Elias is another good one).

Hayden - Another great one that I just really like and also have a good association with. Hayden and Hayes sort of piggyback on my liking for one another.

Gray - Love it! It's on my list as a middle.

 

Like:

Simon - This one's been really growing on me recently after reading a book with a Simon in it. I think it's classic and cute. 

Neal - I don't know particularly why, but I've really liked this name for a while.

Calvin - I like this one, and the nickname Cal is cute (or even Vin). 

Clark - This one's been growing on me recently too, it's an underused classic.

Emmett - I've been a fan of this one ever since watching Switched at Birth. Another underused but handsome classic.

Sawyer - I'm iffy on Sawyer, but it's been growing on me lately as I've heard it around more.

Theo - I prefer it as a nickname for Theodore instead of a standalone, but it's still a good mix of handsome and cute.

Holden - I like the literary association to Holden Caulfield, and it's close to Hayden, which I adore.

Lincoln - This is another one I'm iffy on, but I put it in 'like' because I think it's nice with the nickname Link.

Liam - It's handsome, but I've grown up knowing people with this name, so it's hard to be completely objective to see whether I really like it or not.

Logan - I think this is really handsome, though I wouldn't use it myself, so I'd love to see it on someone else's little boy.

Graham - I think it's really handsome, but I wouldn't use it personally just because of the association with the crackers.

 

Dislike:

Bracken - I'm just not a fan. It kind of reminds me of thorny bushes for some reason.

Caden - I'm not a fan of -aden/aiden ending names, especially as they've been becoming more popular.

Cullen - I actually met a teenage boy with this name as is first, and I thought it was interesting, but in my mind it associates with Edward Cullen from Twilight as well as the word "coven," so I wouldn't ever use it myself.

Callem - I like Cal- names in general, but Callem/Callum I don't particularly like. I think it's just because it's kind of awkward for my to say since it ends with an M.

Isaiah - It's just not my cup of tea. I do like Isaac, though.

Roland - I can't get past a negative association with an antagonist in a book I really like, but I'm also just not a fan of this name in general.

Decklin - I don't really like this name or the variation Declan, but I don't think Decklin is too bad spelling-wise, so use whichever you're most comfortable with.

Harrison - Not a fan. I dislike the nickname Harry as well, but it's also hard for me to picture a child with such a proper-sounding name like Harrison.

 

Combo suggestions:

Simon Gray

Henry Lincoln / Henry Graham

Jasper Hayes / Jasper Callem / Jasper Lucas

Isaiah Lucas

Clark Theodore

Elijah Graham / Logan Elijah

Neal Ezra / Ezra Neal / Holden Ezra / Ezra Holden

Hayden Felix / Felix Gray / Liam Felix

Jude Emmett

Jonah Hayes

Sebastian Graham

Bracken - Horrible

 

Hayes - This is a surname....

 

Simon - This is one of my favorite boy names!! 

 

Henry - This is my fathers name, and I have always loved it. It also makes me think of prince Henry from the movie 'Ever After'.

 

Neal - Hmmm...I actually quite like this... *adding it to my list*

 

Caden - Oh goodness its one of those names. Kayden, Jaden, Ryden, Brayden, Hayden.....Blah blah. Don't like it. 

 

Calvin - Not bad. Its has a nice sound to it. 

 

Cullen - Atomatically I think of the 'Twilight' series. I was obsessed with those books when I was in middle school. Team Edward forever. 

 

Clark - This name is on my Faves list, and for a long time was in my top ten! Love it. Also Superman's name is Clark Kent....Good Stuff.

 

Callem - This would be a no for me. 

 

Emmett - Its ok.  I think of the character in the Twilight series, and he was a great brother.

 

Jasper - I see a twilight theme here. Jasper is a great name and is on my fave list. The stone is beautiful, and so is the vampire. 

 

Elijah -  I know this is a complete boys name, but it just sounds so girly to me. The name Eli on its own is great though. 

 

Isaiah - Another one of those all male names that just sounds girly. 

 

Roland - Nice

 

Sawyer - I knew a Sawyer in elementary school, he was a jerk. But other then that I think the name is rather nice. Tom Sawyer comes to mind.

 

Theo - I like the full name Theodore with Theo as a nn. 

 

Holden - Texas Holden poker...I know its Holdem, but this is what comes to mind when I hear the name, along with images of western decor, and old men in cowboy hats spitting chew in a jar while they sit in rocking chairs on a porch...

 

Hayden - See Caden. Also first thing I think of when I hear this name is a Hayden Panettiere. 

 

Lincoln - Love this name! its on my faves list. I also love the nn Link.

 

Liam - Its a nice boys name.

 

Logan - I know 6 Logans. They are all really nice and outgoing. 

 

Decklin - I love the name Declan its on my name list. Decklin just looks terribly strange to me. I've never had issues with pronouncing Declan correctly. Decklin looks like Duckling. 

 

Harrison - This is a surname. Also if you hate the nn Harry then don't ever use this name, because there is a 80% chance they'll end up going by Harry/Harris in school, with friends and so on. 

 

Gray - Sadness, Rain clouds, S&M books.....NOT GOOD

 

Graham - Gram is a unit of measure, and also what I call my Grandmother...  Graham -- Grey-em Is how I would pronounce it.
