Hello, just wanting to get some feedback on the following boy names for our second son. I love these names but they are pretty out there. What are your thoughts on:

Cub, Colt and Horizon (Rize nn)

Thank you!

Yes, Colton is a good idea.

How about
Heath
Orlando
Apollo
Caspian (as in sea)
Orion

Atlas is a fantastic name.

How about Ulric, Atlantic, Kalt?

You've got an obsession with baby animals so why not Ronan? It means little seal.

You don't need to call your children boring top 100 names, but out-there names will hinder your children in life. They will face discrimination and judgement, and they'll be passed over when applying for jobs.

How about Ulric, Atlantic, Kalt?

Or Ben Nevis?

FFS, you have to give your child a choice of names if you are planning to saddle them with something daft. Ocean richard or Strream Willam, let .your kids be normal.

Rhidian as pp is lovely
what about Corrie?

Loulou1712 · 07/08/2022 19:25

I think you've been talked out of your original suggestions so how about;
Phoenix
Fox
Raven (I used to work with someone called raven Hart and I thought it sounded like a superhero name!)
They're a little out there for me but I do like them!

How about Nicholas nn Cole?
or Atlas, which has a history as a name
or something like Blaise, Joel, Carey or Caleb.

Colt is a gun as you say, Cub will be unfortunate if he’s chubby, and tragic when he gets over 40. Horizon is just fucking odd, like calling your child latitude or temperature, his teachers will think you are pure mental, as indeed will everyone else he meets.
