Love names like Theo, Leo, Tristan, Dylan, Valentine and Ewan. The proper soft sounding masc names. What are your favourite soft masc names.

Sue?

Boris?

If you mean boy, and more gentle sounding names, how about Dylan, Lyndon, Ashley? The word boi is fucking ridiculous BTW.

PursuingProxemicExactitude · 08/02/2021 13:07

Fuck. I am too old to live.

But - having dutifully read the Guardian article - why would anyone want their child to be identified with these manipulative wastrels?

gottakeeponmovin · 08/02/2021 13:09

I literally have no clue what this is about

Fembot123 · 08/02/2021 13:10

You what 😂

Help I think I fell into netmums

Cos no idea why you would want to call your kid this type of boy name?! Grin

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 08/02/2021 13:12

What's going on here!?

Bluesername · 08/02/2021 13:14
Hmm

Seriously. There’s no such thing. People become who they’re going to become and their name takes shape around them.

Am I drunk or are you?

LadyCatStark · 08/02/2021 13:18

Are you wanting this kind of name for an actual, real baby or for yourself be use you want to be one of these “softbois”? If it’s for a real child, stop putting your woke values onto them and just give them a name you like, preferable one that fits with their gender or a gender neutral one if you must.

Morph?

KaptainKaveman · 08/02/2021 13:21

Shirley? I believe that's suitable for both genders.

Glenchase · 08/02/2021 13:21

What does boi mean? Perhaps change your autocorrect settings to assist with your spelling.

CandyLeBonBon · 08/02/2021 13:23

Soft boiled?

Bluesheep8 · 08/02/2021 13:23

Soft boi means a feminine man name. Ffs it's not hard to figure out.

It is if you've never heard of it and haven't got a clue what the op is on about!

TopTabby · 08/02/2021 13:23

What the?? Sounds like soft boiled.
Soft masc?? I'm older than I thought obviously (& glad).

LucasLeesEyebrows · 08/02/2021 13:24

I was looking to see if I had gone on to the doghouse board but nope.

Thebusiness · 08/02/2021 13:24

So is it for a boy or a girl? Or is that the whole point?

HolyMusicalBman · 08/02/2021 13:24

Sorry I put in boy and it changed it to boi 🤦. Basically a soft sounding, boy name. Masc means masculine name

Sorry I put in boy and it changed it to boi 🤦.

😂 yeah, sure!

borntobequiet · 08/02/2021 13:26

The only people I have seen spell boy like this are “too cool for school” teens who swagger a lot and pretend to be drug dealers. Is this your aspirational image?
