I've been thinking of adding a few names to my boys list, but I wanted to get some opinions first.

Casey - I love love love this name! I know that people these days generally prefer it on girls, but it's all boy to me. I'd love to get your opinions on it, and also the middle name I'm planning on pairing it with, which is Jonah.

Sasha - Again, people are liking this name for a girl, but it just fits on a boy for me. It's definitely one of my favourites, and I really would like opinions on it please. Also, middle name suggestions are really appreciated as I have no ideas.

Okay, these are names that I have a few combos for but can't choose, and I would like opinions on which is your favourite and why please.

Felix Reilly or Felix Noah or Felix Brody - They all fit so well, I just can't decide which I like best.

Justus Lane or Justus Kerry or Justus Heath - I think I'm leaning towards either Lane or Heath as the middle name, but I love Kerry so much.

Theon Walker or Theon Fletcher or Theon Samuel - Walker would honor a great friend of mine, and Samuel would honor so many people that I love, but Fletcher just seems to fit.

Alcott James or Alcott Reid or Alcott Hunter - James honors my uncle, but I love Reid and Hunter too.

Opinions are truly appreciated, and I'm always grateful when you take the time to look through my posts and comment.

Thanks in advance!

Hannah ♥

Casey Jonah
Fabulous name. I really like Casey on a boy (kind of like how I prefer Avery on a boy...). The combination is awesome!

Sasha
I actually like it on a boy, I know a boy named Sasha. I think a very masculine middle would be perfect.
Sasha Mitchell
Sasha Benjamin
Sasha Michael
Sasha Christopher
Sasha Vincent
Sasha Richard


Felix Reilly | Felix Noah | Felix Brody
Felix Noah for sure! Although I absolutely adore the name Brody, I think Brody would be better as the first name with Felix. So Felix Noah (a name I also love).

Justus Lane | Justus Kerry | Justus Heath
I don't particularly like Justus, but the middle name Heath is quite nice!

Theon Walker | Theon Fletcher | Theon Samuel
Theon isn't my style, but pretty handsome! It was a tough decision, but because I love honoring names I voted for Walker (Fletcher was my second favorite).

Alcott James | Alcott Reid | Alcott Hunter
I definitely prefer James. I like the cool/classic first/middle combination. (:

I hope I was helpful! :(

Thank you so much Raven! It's nice to see that someone else prefers those names on a boy too! (:

From your suggestions I like:
Sasha Michael
Sasha Christopher (honors a best friend of mine)
Sasha Richard (honors my grandad and second cousin)

I think I'm leaning towards Felix Noah myself, though I already have Noah on my list (boo) but it goes amazingly with Felix!
Justus Heath and Justus Lane are neck and neck for me, though I do see Heath as a name I would probably use more than Lane (also Heath honors an amazing teacher I had at secondary school)
I prefer Theon to Theo or Theodore, I'm not sure why but I do :( And Theon Walker is my favourite actually, so yay!
Alcott James is handsome, and I think it fits well with some of my other combos, but I still definitely want to use Reid and Hunter (:

Thank you again Raven! (goes off to post in your topic)

I have to agree with everything that Raven's said.
Apart from Sasha, I much prefer it on a girl. [Maybe it's because the only two I know ARE girls.. :blush:]

Hee hee, thank you!

Yeah, I definitely like Sasha Richard. I actually think Sasha and Felix would make a fabulous sibset!

I like! Sasha Richard and Felix Noah? Do you think they work with Henry? Sasha, Felix and Henry?? I'm not so sure :/

Also, thank you Yas!

I like Sasha and Felix, and Felix and Henry, but I don't love all three together.
But I absolutely ADORE the name Henry. It's fourth on my own list. (:

Yeah, well I guess it all depends when it comes to the time I'm actually pregnant as to which I prefer.

Henry is my top name though, and it has been for a couple of years now. I definitely plan on using it one day, hopefully if my then partner agrees.

Casey - This to me is more girly, but Casey Jonah is quite handsome. :(

Sasha - I knew a boy named Sasha (nickname for Alexander somehow) in kindergarten so this is purely boy to me.
Sasha Colin, Sasha Daniel, Sasha Ryan, Sasha Michael. (I don't know your style, so sorry if these are totally off!)

Felix Reilly or Felix Noah or Felix Brody - I just honestly like the flow of this one the best. :)

Justus Lane or Justus Kerry or Justus Heath - Just because, the only Justus (spelled Justice) i've known is a girl, so I feel like it's unisex, and so are Lane & Kerry. Plus, Justus Heath sounds nice. ;)

Theon Walker or Theon Fletcher or Theon Samuel - I agree, Fletcher does seem to fit.

Alcott James or Alcott Reid or Alcott Hunter - Might be slightly biased, but I think the flow of Alcott James sounds the nicest.

:)

Thank you! I agree that in this day and age Casey is going to be seen as a more girly name, and I do know a girl named Kaycee (hate that spelling) but it just sounds so much nicer on a boy to me (:

I love Sasha Ryan and Sasha Michael, thank you!

Thank you for you opinions on the others too (: I believe Justus is a latin name meaning Just, whereas Justice is an Old French surname meaning judge or officer of justice, but I can see how they sound the same, and thank you for your opinion too. It's nice to see how others feel about names I love, because it brings up things that I'd never thought of. (Btw, if this sounded rude it truly wasn't, I didn't mean to offend so if I did then I'm sorry)

Also, I wanted to ask about Bellamy. I love this name for a boy, but it seems that many people like it for a girl (I can see how it would be considered girly, because of potential nns like Bella and Amy). What are your opinions??

No, I totally didn't think you were being rude! For Casey, I know a boy named Casey, but also a girl named Kacie (I hate this spelling :)) So I'm really split whether I want to think of it as a boy or girl name. Haha.

You're welcome for the opinions! I didn't know Justus was a whole different name, that probably makes me sound stupid but I just figured it was Justice but spelled differently. You learn something new every day. :( Haha.

To totally creep on this conversation, Bellamy is a wonderful name. I originally liked it on a girl, but when I found out it was a french boy name I can definitely see it on a little boy, paired with a masculine name....for some reason, John Bellamy and Bellamy Scott came to mind. (:

Shay ♥ - Thank goodness, and it's always great to learn new things! It doesn't make you sound stupid, I thought that until I searched it on Behind the Name, and I guess it's probably common that people will. I'm not sure I'll ever get it to use it though, and it may just stay as a guilty pleasure (:

Raven ♥ - Don't worry about creeping! :( Thank you! I love Bellamy Scott! Any more suggestions? (:

If anyone has any suggestions for Sasha or Bellamy feel free to leave those too! And opinions are always welcome, even if it's just to say you dislike the names (:
