Alistair Peregrine Larkspur XXXX

Artistic, manly and floral!
No I didn't use it.
Hope someone does have a surname to do it justice.

Thaïs, Anouk, and Tamar. I didn't use any of them though as partner at time didn't like them.

Kit and Lysander

IDontWantToBeAPie · 11/03/2023 16:28

Sivus

Or perhaps Aemon

A lot of love for James. It's ok, and I Jamie. I also find the S at the end clumsy for using the possessive. "That's James' toy" etc.

I like Malachy, Callum and Thomas (admittedly same s ending issue as James but I just prefer the name so can overlook it. Also love Tommy and Tom).

Also love the Irish girl names

The name I'd have loved to use is Ravi (I am white british) I just love it, it means the sun (as in the sunshine of my life) and every Ravi I have ever known has been an absolutely lovely man. But I think it would have been cultural appropriation.

Dyslexicwonder · 11/03/2023 06:02

I like names where you can have a variety of shortenings so:
Robert - can be Rob, Bob, Robbie, Bert or Bertie
William- can be, Will, Bill or Billy as well as Wills
Theodore- can be Theo, Ted or Teddy

For girls I love
Elizabeth- can be Liz, Lizzie Beth, Bessie or Eliza
Charlotte- can be Lottie, Charlie
Isabella- can be Izzy, Bella or Belle
