Hello all,
I'm still not decided on a name for my son, thankfully I have a bit more time to make up my mind !
For work reasons we're likely to live in various countries and I'd definitely like something a bit international (by that I mean a name that could potentially work in many european countries. Especially as we'll most likely all be multilingual.)
So, a few exemples of names I like but can't use for various reasons :
Elias
Matthias
Lucas
Max(ime)
Alexander
All of these work easily in France, Germany, some work fine in Russia, Scandinavia, etc.
Names that definitely will NOT work for me :
- nothing too specifically regional, no names that work ONLY in the UK or ONLY in a specific country (so no Rafferty, Bodhi, Grayson or Miles please)
- one syllable names are a no for me, please suggest 2-4 syllables ! (so no Luke or Jay)
- nothing too classic as I don't like them (names like Thomas or George)
- I'd prefer to avoid names overly popular but it's not a hard line for me if I otherwise love the name
- nothing made up or out there, but original is fine. I mean names like Joachim or Geoffrey, which are not so popular atm I think.
- names with an impossible orthograph lile Hephzibah for instance (I know it's a girl's name, just an exemple to illustrate my meaning !)
I know I'm being very specific but I feel like it's better to narrow it down from the start !
Thanks in advance !
