What do you think of my name list?

Question

These are all for a boy, BTW. I don't want "alternate spellings", or suggestions of different names, or to hear your name list - just what you think of these, as they are.

Answer 6

I only like Sebastian sorry.

Answer 7

I don't care for any of them.  I don't tend to like any name that you'd term unique.  Some old-fashioned ones, yes; but "unique" no.

Answer 8

Ooooh lots of those are cute!!

My faves are Alban, Rowan, and Seamus.

Answer 9

I like Antony, Devin, Orion, and Silas.

Answer 10

dont like

Answer 11

I love Conan, Devin, Sebastien, and Rowan. They are nice and masculine. Those are the only ones I like out of your names, sorry.

:)

Answer 12

I think Rowan is the best. Classic, unique, and no one will struggle to pronounce it or spell it. I like Silas too. Devin is nice. It's your baby, but plz don't name him Conan. It is a very strong name, but is it worth a lifetime of teasing? Kids are cruel! Ooh, Corvin is cute. I've never heard that name before, but it's cool! Good list, good luck with baby!

Answer 13

You're right, children can get teased for any reason. To avoid certain names because they are "teasable" seems silly. Anything about a person can be teased.

Homeschooling is a great way to let your kids learn at their own pace, not to mention keep them active past age 5. If I ever have kids, I'll homeschool them.

As far as your names go, here are my favorites:

Alasdair - Lots of nickname potential, different but not too out there.

Antony - I prefer the sound of this to the sound of Anthony.

Devin - Take this name back for the boys!! I hate that it's becoming unisex. It's a great name.

Seamus - A cool name that's gaining in popularity.

All your choices are good. If I were you, I'd choose a name not ending in the "in" sound because those names are so common lately.

Answer 14

Hate most of them, I guess Devin and Sebastien are ok.  

Answer 15

Well i think this is a great long long list and i am sure ur little boy will be amazing. Are u looking for middle names too cause i was looking at:

Conan Silas

Devin Rowan

Orion Seamus

Sorry for that if that isnt what u wanted

LOved the names

Congrats on baby

Answer 16

Alban or devon. maybe anthony? IDK u want a safe name for kids so they dont get teased/ bullyd

Answer 17

i think devin and silas are very nice names... silas especially

Answer 18

Alasdair: I think of a Harry Potter Character Alister

Alban: It sounds old-fashioned, cute as a middle name though.

Antony: Sounds italian and distinguished, however, its not my favorite name.

Atticus: The father or Scout and Jem from To Kill A Mockingbird

Claran: Never heard it, it's alright but as a middle name.

Conan: Cute, uncommon, sounds athletic.

Corvin: Sounds like a brand of car, not necessarily a name in my opinion.

Devereux: I couldn't even begin to tell you what I think because I have no idea how to pronounce it. Hoever, there are too many 'e's and I don't personally like the way it looks.

Devin: I don't like unisex names, but its better than some of the others you've listed.

Gareth: Different, old-fashioned, creative.

Orion: I think of onion, just word association but since you asked...

Rhom: Like a CD-Rom?

Rowan: Cute, I like this name for a girl or a boy, its one of the few unisex names that's sophistocated.

Seamus: I nice twist on Shane and Sean. Cute and uncommon.

Sebastian: I don't like this name and never have.

Silas: Don't know how to say it but it looks decent on paper.  

Answer 19

Atticus

(sorry ik to many girls name Devin so id like for a boy lol)

Sebastien is really cute too  

Answer 20

my initial thought is " POOR KID ". I mean you have to remember how  children tease when it comes to names.

Answer 21

I like Rowan, Devereux, and Sebastien.

Dont pay any attention to the insults.  I think you picked a lot of cute names and I think its always nice to come across something different and unique.  Who wants to be in a classroom with 5 kids all having the same name?  Most of us grew up in a time where everyone was named Mike or Joe or Katie or Jenny.  These days more people are picking unusual/unique names and people are adapting to it including the children making it less likely that they would be made fun of.  Good Luck and Congrats!

Answer 22

I like Sebastien, Atticus, Ciarán, and Rowan

Answer 23

I like

Antony

Rowan

Silas

Devereux

Atticus

Devin

I don't like generic names either. I like them when they are different but not like 'Co Captain of the Ship'.

My two favorite boy names [just saying you dont have to read]

are Luca and Jude.

but yours are really cool and different.

Answer 24

I like:

Antony

Ciaran

Corvin

Devereux

Devin

Gareth

Rowan

Sebastein

Wow those are some great beautiful unique names! I really like them!

Answer 25

they sound like alien baby names or maybe a pirate- argh I be Seamus of the Baltic Sea

I AM AWESOME

Answer 26

i love the name gareth!!! i think those names are unique.

Answer 27

I'd say, with all seriousness and respect, that Devin and Silas are the only two names that won't get the kid's butt kicked in school.  Silas is still a little iffy.

My advice is to stay away from names that the kid will have to pronounce for people, such as Devereux or Ciaran.  Ciaran will come out as "Sharon" to people of Irish heritage?

Answer 28

i like Antony, love Atticus, like Conan, Corvin, and Devin. Rowan is unisex and i don't like unisex names. like Silas a lot.
