I have been working so hard on my girls' list that I've completely neglected my boys' list! I'll share the names I currently like:

Henry: My favorite boy name ever. I like the combinations Henry Elliot and Henry Connor.
Charles: I love this name. Charlie is okay, but I really prefer just Charles. I like the combinations Charles Ellery and Charles Arlen (family name).
James: I like this one better as a first name because it sounds like a filler middle. I like James Blackwell (family name)... and that's about it. XD

If you have any opinions about those three names, let me know. Also:

Please suggest any boy names you think I'd like. I'm open to any suggestions, but I tend to prefer classic names. Thanks guys!

Oh my goodness, lately I've been so fond of Henry! But all my friends are like "Echhh its so plain and boring" :/ Oh well, I like it anyways.... <3 But its so handsome. And both Henry Elliot and Henry Connor are handsome. I especially love Henry Connor, its on my top 3 names!! [Connor is, lol]. And Elliot is really handsome... <3

Charles-- so handsome! I especially love Charlie, but Charles is really nice! It's a family name for me, actually. So I'm the opposite lol, Charles is okay but I prefer Charlie <3 I normally don't like Ellery [for whatever reason it makes me think Celery hehe], but Charles Arlen doesn't seem to flow well. Like, the -arle in both Charles and Arlen seem to conflict :/ So I vote Charles Ellery!

James... well, I have had personal experiences with James's that put me off from the name but otherwise it's okay. Classic. But I definitely prefer it as a first name, cause as you said, sounds very filler-name-y. James Blackwell is nice, and a great way to honor family! Maybe James Arlen? That'd sound darn handsome!!

What do you think? More? Am I on the right track?

I like Charles Ellery just because the -arle sound in Charles and Arlen throw each other off.
I change my minda about Henry every other day but overall it's a good name, I definitely like Henry Connor.
James is definitely a filler-y middle but I know a James that has seriously thrown the name off for me so I normally think of it as a middle. I actually have James Arlen on my list but James Blackwell is a nice combo too.

Thank you both so much! Remy: I like William, Mark, Patrick, Thomas, Jackson, and Matthew. Seriously love Jackson, Thomas, and Patrick right now... XD

To both of you: Thanks for pointing out the whole Charles / Arlen dilemma... I totally didn't see that! I like James Arlen; that sounds much better. Do you think Henry Arlen sounds all right? Henry has an "r" too, but it's not quite the same sound as Charles and Arlen...

Anyway, thanks for your help!

[Remy Hadley]

I'm so glad you like so many! And glad you seriously love a few as well!

I think Henry Arlen sounds much better than Charles Arlen, I think it works, even with a slight r and all... When I say it out loud, the r doesn't clash enough to make it sound bad... <3

Glad to help!
