Abel - I like this one. Plus, Amy Poehler used it for her son and I luh her, so this is, by extension, very cool
Atticus - The name that everyone trying to be "unique" chooses
Ivan - Milat or The Terrible
Otis - Milo and Otis
Luther - I know a guy named this (and his middle name is also strange, this Balthazar but not quite), and it couldn't be more obvious that his parents are both drama teachers
--
Valiant - No. Incredibly try-hard
Valour - See above
Valentine - See above (funnily enough, though, I like Valentina for a girl)
True - See above
Rohan - Lovely
Zion - Not awful, but not fantastic either
Zephan - No
Art - Prefer Arthur, but this could work depending on the first name
Cass? Cassius? Cassian? Caspar? - I like Caspar and Caspian, but not Cass (girl's name - reminds me of Mama Cass/Cass Elliott) or Cassius
Red - Cool, like it
Orion - Fine, could work with the right first name
Phoenix - River Phoenix (worked for him, but I've yet to see another River or Phoenix who suits the name)
Boyd - I like this one
So, these would be my picks:
- Abel Rohan (my favourite)
- Abel Red
- Abel Orion
- Abel Boyd
