    My Boy's Alphabet Name List.

    Trying to make a boy's name list, based on a certain site, so names could change the more I look around. I thought I would do it alphabet style. I would like to read your honest thoughts on each name. Yes, some may be a bit out there, but I am seriously considering most them in some way (some are fillers for that alphabet). I have not specified whether it would be a first name or a middle name, because I am curious to see how open Berries are. Also, what combo's do you think will work well, if any? Any other suggestions?

    Side Note: Thanks to some Berries, I have realized some of the names are not the best. Honestly, I have yet to really research some of the information behind the names. I figured I would read Berries first thought, then I would continue to find more information about the name. When you first meet a person, normally, you don't think about the meaning, but the sound of it and that's what I was looking for. You guys are doing great so far and it is really helping me think of other options. Boy names are hard for me and always changing.

    Aslan - Yes, I know it's from Narnia, but I like that it means lion. And that it represents strength, courageousness, kingship, loyalty.

    Blaise/Blaze - Will it age well? Cool for a kid, but what about as an adult?

    Carlisle - Not sure why, but I have always like this name. It just moves up and down on my list. Maybe I have heard it from somewhere. Do you know any alternative spellings that might be easier to the eyes for those who may have trouble with it? I know Carlyle is one, but the 'y' bugs me a bit.
    Castiel - I just like it.
    Chandler - Homage to my eldest sister, but I am not too content on it going to the girls. It was on my list for the longest time. Kind of sad that it is losing it appeal.

    Dougray - (p. do Gray) Maybe because of the actor, but I like the way it just rolls off my tongue.

    Edmond/Edmund - Homage alternative to my dad's middle name. Which spelling is better? Plus, I really like the movies, "The Count of Monte Cristo" & "Mansfield Park".

    Felix - I like that it has a cool, classic, & quirky sense to it.

    Gabriel - Love the nickname Gable; which embodies masculinity, charm, & intelligence.

    Hawkins - Based on the site I am using to make this list. I am sure there is a better 'H' name that may appeal to me, but as G.P. I like it--cool nn too-- Hawk or Hawks.

    Ignacio - Okay, this one is a G.P. too ,but I just love the nn Iggy.

    Jupiter - Appealing and embodies force and creativity for me. But I wonder if there is "gas" teasing potential amongst students when they learn about planets.

    Kai - Likes that it means different things in diverse languages, i.e. ocean or little king. Usually would choose the 'c' spellings over the 'k' spellings.

    Leander- I just like it.
    Lysander - I just like it.

    Micah - Only this name really stood out.

    Nathan/Nathaniel - Hmm, maybe the show "One Tree Hill" influenced this one a bit. Not that bad, I went to school with a Nathaniel and he was very proud of his name and meaning. I always picture a tall (He was about 6'3 in the 8th grade and was taller when I saw him later.), dark, and handsome kid with this name.

    Oberon - I just like it, but could cause pronunciation problems.

    Phaedron - A bit romantic.
    Phelan (Fallon) - Recent crush. Is it a bit girly?

    Quill - Ancient and poetic.

    Ravi - I wondered why I liked this name, before I knew the meaning. But I believe I subconsciously liked it because of the font Ravie. But I like the meaning too.
    Rhys - I just like it.
    Rian - I just like it.

    Samson - Homage to grandmother, but feel it might be a bit too heavy.
    Sherlock - Homage to my maternal family.

    Talon - Yes, I know what it is, but I just like it.
    Tristan - Charming & Romantic.

    Uriah - Grew on me.

    Vaughn - I just like it.
    Viggo - rare and awesome.

    Because of my last name, this letter will be obsolete, but I did names anyway.
    Wicker - Sounds kind of Cool.
    Wolfgang - Another cool, loyal, & strong sounding name. Love the nn Wolf.

    Xerxes - Edit: The original place I saw this name made it seem like the person was a Hero that stood up for those who was weaker. Now, since Berries have said he was not that great, I have to figure out another X name.

    Yuri - I know a woman with this name, but for creativity reasons, I have thought about this name a couple of times.

    Zephyr/Zephyrus - Just love how cool and breezy it sounds.

    Aslan -- I like it, but I think it's so tied to the lion from Narnia that it should be a middle name.

    Blaise/Blaze -- I know a little boy named Blaze (he'd be 9 or 10 I think) I like Blaise/Blaze, and I think the Blaise spelling makes it work a little better on an adult

    Carlisle -- Well this is one I just don't really like. I don't know why, it's a fine name, but I don't like it. I prefer this spelling over the Y
    Castiel -- This is another one I can't get myself to like, sorry
    Chandler -- I actually really like Chandler. I think it has a cool sound and I love it!

    Dougray - (p. do Gray) - It's interesting, and I tried to say it doug-ray, but it is interesting and Gray is a good nickname

    Edmond/Edmund -- Love Edmund! It's battles for my favorite Ed- name with Edwin.

    Felix -- Love Felix too, but a lot of people think of the cartoon cat. I think it's handsome and spunky

    Gabriel -- I like Gabriel but I think it's really popular. I've known 4 Gabriel's and Gabrielle's in the daycare alone, I've known more outside the daycare too

    Hawkins -- I really like it as a first name and not just as a GP. It makes me think of Treasure Island and I love that literary connection! Hawk is a cool nickname and I just love it!

    Ignacio -- this is one I don't like. It sounds very ethnic for anyone not Hispanic/Italian

    Jupiter -- I'm sure gas could be a teasing potential, but it makes me think of the Roman version of Zeus ^_^ I would keep it in the middle though as I think it's a little much for a first name

    Kai -- I like it, but i've seen it mentioned a ton of times on here. I prefer Kaia for a girl

    Leander -- LOVE the Greek mythology connection and Love this name
    Lysander -- Love this a lot too! We considered it but found others we like better. LOVE it

    Micah -- I don't like Micah a lot because I've seen it on more girls and it seems strange on a boy (though I have met boy Micahs)

    Nathan/Nathaniel -- Love Nathaniel! We considered this one too. I think it's handsome and strong and I also sort of picture a tall, dark and handsome type. I also think the nicknames make it more sporty feeling so anyone can wear it.

    Oberon -- I don't think it can be mispronounced to much, o-ber-on, now if it were Auberon then i could see pronunciation problems. I love Oberon. It's one of my more liked Shakespeare names.

    Phaedron -- sounds a bit girly to me, like Phaedra
    Phelan (Fallon) -- Is it pronounced fay-lon? If so then yes I think it's a bit girly, but I do know a little boy named Faelon

    Quill -- I love Quill! i'm using Quillon with the nn Quill. I love it because I write and it's so handsome!

    Ravi -- i don't like it too much. Sorry
    Rhys -- Love it but only really as a middle name for some reason
    Rian -- Is this like Ryan? If so, then it seems like just a misspelling to me (and I don't like Ryan either)

    Samson -- it's okay. I've never felt strongly either way on this name
    Sherlock -- I actually really really love this. He was a cool character (even if he had some terrible flaws) but I think it might be better in the middle

    Talon -- I like it too in a GP kind of way. There's was a cool Talon in a book series I used to read. I would only use it in the middle
    Tristan -- I agree, romantic. I love the story of Tristan & Isolde, so I think Tristan is great

    Uriah -- dislike the sound sorry

    Vaughn -- I like it too, but my husband says it makes everything sound like German royalty
    Viggo -- I do really like Viggo, but I think it's really tied to the actor (whom I love!)

    Wicker -- I don't really like this as a given name
    Wolfgang -- I like it too, but more in the middle, and Wolf is pretty cool (i prefer Amadeus ^_^)

    Xerxes -- I like the way it sounds, but Xerxes was an evil Persian emperor so that kind of puts me off

    Yuri -- it would seem really ethnic on anyone not Germanic/Russian

    Zephyr/Zephyrus -- LOVE! i'm using Zephyrine for a girl ^_^ I also know a man named Zephyr. It's a very cool name

    Aslan - I like the sound, but I think it might be better as a middle.

    Blaise/Blaze - I like it, but I would spell it Blaise to make it more wearable.

    Carlisle - To me, it evokes kind of a preppy image. I'm not a fan.
    Castiel - I like it, but I like other Cas names better.
    Chandler - I like it, and it's used far more for boys that girls.

    Dougray - (p. do Gray) I like it.

    Edmond/Edmund -I LOVE this one. One of my favorite names. I like the Edmund spelling.

    Felix - LOVE. Edmund and Felix would make great brothers.

    Gabriel - Love, and I love the nn Gable.

    Hawkins - Love, and not as a GP. It sounds perfect for a little boy, but it could work for a grown man.

    Ignacio - Not a fan.

    Jupiter - The gas teasing potential could come up. I love the name, though. And the nn Jupe would be adorable. It could be a lot for a kid to wear, though.

    Leander- Like it.
    Lysander - Not a fan.

    Micah - Love!

    Nathan/Nathaniel - Love!

    Because of my last name, this letter will be obsolete, but I did names anyway.

    Aslan - ass land, sorry, I love the meaning/connection too, but I don't think it's usable irl
    Blaise/Blaze - I know a woman in her 20's named Blaise, it fits her well

    Phaedron - I don't think I'd want the word "fade" in my name

    Thanks Berries!

    Lol, your comments are great-some are kinda funny! Some have made me think of the name in a whole new light--whether it is bright or dark. I just love reading your thoughts on each name. I just wanted to get a feel on what others would think when they hear the name on a child/adult.

    Not all the names I have on list are considered first name. I am just having a rough time falling in love with a boy name and you guys are giving me wonderful help.

    Thanks again,
    natural.

    Aslan - I prefer Alan. Or if you are feeling movie-inspired, I even prefer Aladdin.

    Blaise/Blaze - A girl in my age was named this after her father. I really never liked it.

    Carlisle - There's a town in my state named Carlisle. I always liked it. I think it would be a cool name for any little boy. I don't mind the spelling.
    Castiel - I just don't like it.
    Chandler - NOOOOOOOO. This will never lose its appeal. Chandler is my favorite Friends character. It also just sounds so friendly and approachable.

    Dougray - I feel this is a start of a command. Do gray-t work!

    Edmond/Edmund - I prefer the Edmund spelling. Love the nick name Eddie.

    Felix - I love Felix. It sounds so cool.

    Gabriel - I will admit that Gabrel sounds badass... but I don't like Gabriel. Too soft for my taste.

    Hawkins - Reminds me of Taylor Hawkins- drummer for the Foo Fighters. Therefore I like this name.

    Ignacio - I picture a middle aged man, and your little guy will eventually get to that age I suppose. Just doesn't sound right on a baby boy.

    Jupiter - I certainly wouldn't think children would tease him with "gas" references. I do see teasing potential for this name for the sole fact it is a little "out there". However, I do like this name.

    Kai - I picture a little surfer boy with this name. I suppose I'm stuck on the ocean meaning.

    Leander- Never been a fan. Anders is a better name IMO.
    Lysander - Same as Leander.

    Micah -Not a fan, though, fellow Berries love this name.

    Nathan/Nathaniel - Holy moly that man was tall! I like Nathan better, but both names are lovely. Nate is a good nickname.

    Oberon - O names are in style.

    Phaedron - NMS.
    Phelan (Fallon) - I think Fallon is better. I picture this on a boy over a girl.

    Quill - Very cool name. I actually never thought of using this as a name. I might steal it.

    Ravi - I am not a fan.
    Rhys - I dated a guy named Rhys. I would always order a reesie peanutbutter cup icecream to "honor" him because he was my rhysie peanutbutter cup haha.
    Rian - The Ryan spelling, I hear, is also lovely.

    Samson - Not a fan.
    Sherlock - Please, please, please name your future son this. I love this name. I will name my son Watson I swear. I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan...

    Talon - I've read a post before where someone was considering this name. You're not alone!
    Tristan -I prefer this name on girls.

    Uriah - Filler name?

    Vaughn - It's okay, but not my first choice.
    Viggo - haha "and awesome". It's alright.

    Wicker - I think of baskets.
    Wolfgang - Wolf= awesome name Wolfgang= not so awesome.

    Xerxes - It is a hero name. Berries tend like names more based on meanings. I'm not like that. I enjoy a name for it's sound or connection.

    Yuri - This will mean nothing to you, but I think of Yuri's Revenge. A game my brother played for years. He even "mod" for it and was publish in gamer magazines. But, yes it is a guy's name.

    Zephyr/Zephyrus- I like Zephyr. Zephyrus is getting a little too long for me. Short, quick and snappy is my style.
