BOY NAMES: How do you feel about these? :3

[dylanrhys]

Luther McKinley
Ernest Frederick
Virgil Clarence
Guy Reginald
Lyle Nathaniel
Clifford Kenton
Raymond Garrett "Ray"
Bentley Stellan


These are some names I've been thinking of. I don't have a favorite name list yet, but this is what I've come up with for when I do start a list. I like older, classic, familiar names. Thoughts? Opinions? Ratings? Possibly suggestions? All are welcome!

My favorites are Ernest, Guy, and Raymond!

[godsmyhero1]

I like Raymond. Every time I hear the name clifford I think of clifford the big red dog lol

Well, the list does make me feel like I'm reading the roster of my great-granduncles' Sunday school class. The only one that's completely off is Bentley Stellan. Very modern compared to the other vintage picks on the list.

Ernest Frederick, Clifford Kenton, and Lyle Nathaniel are my favorites. I have a serious soft spot for Ernest, Lyle is too underused, and I love the alliteration in Clifford Kenton.

Luther McKinley - Luther is an interesting choice; i like it. Is McKinley a family name?
Ernest Frederick - would prefer Frederick as a first name. really not a fan of Ernest.
Virgil Clarence - don't like Virgil. Clarence is ok, seems a little soft for a boys' name
Guy Reginald - Don't like Guy (although I like the French Guillaume)
Lyle Nathaniel - always think of Lyle as a cowboy or country name.
Clifford Kenton - Clifford is nice. Cliff is a good nn. Kenton wouldn't be my choice for a middle name (repetitive sound of C and K).
Raymond Garrett "Ray" - This is my favorite! Also love Garrett as a first name.
Bentley Stellan - this sounds very modern and trendy compared to your other choices.

Garrett, Nathaniel, Raymond, Luther and Frederick are my favorite names from your list. What about Garrett Nathaniel or Frederick Raymond?

[lovelywren]

I really like all of them but Luther and Bentley. To me, Luther just sounds like it would belong to someone unsavory. Bentley is the name of my Aunts dog, and as that's where I heard it first, I think of it as a dog name.

Luther McKinley - I like this, Luther is underused, but it's a sorta cool name
Ernest Frederick - I prefer Frederick to Ernest so I'd flip them
Virgil Clarence - not fond of either name, but especially not Virgil
Guy Reginald - I like Guy, but I don't like it with Reginald. Guy Bentley?
Lyle Nathaniel - too many L's. Nathaniel Frederick?
Clifford Kenton - not fond of either, Kenton is an okay middle, Garrett Kenton?
Raymond Garrett "Ray" - all I think of is Everybody Love Raymond, I love the name Garrett though, Garrett Luther?
Bentley Stellan - love Bentley and Stellan is okay.

My son's name is Luther! Love it! Not sure why previous poster thinks it would belong to somebody unsavory?! The name historically has a lot of good associations and also has a good meaning.

You have some excellent taste in names! These are all fantastic (except I'm not really loving Bentley Stellan. It just doesn't have the vintage/classic feel of your other names).

It's hard for me to even pick a favorite. I really, really love the sound of Guy Reginald. This is such a handsome sounding name. But Lyle Nathaniel is really good too.

Your combinations are spot on. I do not think I would change any of them.

Luther and Lyle are my favorites.
