Really strong boys name

63 replies

Nightstar · 24/04/2011 19:06

I'm looking for a really strong boys name, one that could be a hero in a mills and boon novel. Nothing 'wet' or wimpy or geeky or too 'american' or too 'out there'.

So far I've come up with only

Damien
or
Luke

Any ideas?

Great thread. Duncan and Adam are my favourite underrated manly names.

Adam would be great - strong name, fits the character you've described

Hmm, what about Zeke? Or Quinn?

Why not go for something like Micheal Crawford..but everyone calls him by his last name..!?!?!?!

Or you could give him a cracking first name like: Harold, Orson or Malachi (which in the book he dislikes and therefore calls, himself by his surname)

This is extremely helpful to be honest! Apart from a few silly ones, there are some great names I wouldnt have thought of.

Its set present day, so a man who is 30 now probably wouldnt have a really 'modern' name.

The biblical ones are good as they stand the test of time, and I loved the Scottish name list, you are right they do sound strong.

Many thanks and please do add more x

Just trying to think of solid mens names...probably no help at all!

RueLaChesty · 12/05/2011 00:04

i think scottish names sound quite strong?

Angus, Lauchlan, Crawford etc but i think its from knowing farmers with they names.

Strong males i know

michael, matthew, john, craig, james, patrick, vinnie

but then thats probably more to do with the person being strong so the name conjures up strong images.

Atlas

Niecie · 26/04/2011 20:31

I was going to say Jacob too.

Also Jack
Zac
Steve
Eric (probably because of the Viking)
Sven to follow the Nordic trend.
John
Max
Jed
Ned

DS2 knows a little boy call Titan (or maybe Tyton, I'm not sure)

Damien and Luke aren't strong names imo.
