The Rest of the Boys

[ottilie]

I'm so excited at being done with my girl list, so jumping straight into the boy list! I have some names I'd like to use, but I don't want to spoil anybody's creativity, so feel free to suggest names. Faramond is done, Faramond Faulkner Holt.

I'm going to try and explain what I want:

Evander: Super romantic, stars and the moon, quiet lakes. Sensitive, poetic, adventurous but in a gentle way. I'd like to have Endymion as a middle (need to use it and feel it would be perfect here).

Gawain: Kind of the love child of Faramond and Morgana if that makes sense. Stormy, intense, cliffs by the ocean, cloaked in furry capes and leather gloves. Brave, unyielding, yet romantic.

Herne: Again, kind of like Faramond, if he'd gone a little crazy and started living in the forest on his own. Rough, intense, rugged, an archer. "The wild huntsman". A little bit like Mads Mikkelsen in King Arthur (only good thing about that movie).

Rainier/Orpheus (together, I don't know which order I want them to be in): Another poetic one, but more woodsy and tough. Lush open woods with grassy floor and little sweet smelling flowers coming up among the trees. This name is very nature like to me, Rainier is partly to honour my late grandfather who was a real nature man, so mountains, waterfalls, forests, moors, I see it all. If anyone's read Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus; that's what I want.

Names I like:
Alaric, Altair, Bayard, Bran, Cyrus, Emrys, Endymion, Lorengel, Loxias, Lucius, Marinell, Percival, Perseus, Silvan, Wayland, Westfall

I'm doing two middles...

Funsies.

Evander + Endymion = 7 syllables, so you must use a monosyllabic name here. Something gentle:

Evander Bard Endymion / Evander Endymion Bard
Evander Blaise Endymion
Evander Endymion Beck
Evander Endymion Heath
Evander Endymion Ives
Evander Endymion Stearne [Stearne is an English form of German stern, 'star']

Gawain sounds great with harder sounds.

Gawain Perseus Bayard
Gawain Alaric Tierce
Gawain Loxias Orrick [means 'old, weathered oak tree']

Herne: something rough. Herne and Wayland are perfect together, imo.

Herne Wayland Westfall
Herne Wayland Rorrick ['red king']
Herne Wayland Eindride [Norse for "he who rides alone"]

Rainier Silvius Westfall
Rainier Lucius Westfall
Rainier Emrys Westfall

Orpheus & Altair sound so good..

Orpheus Sylvan Altair
Orpheus Bran Bayard
Orpheus Espen Altair
Orpheus Esmond Altair

Thank you!!!!!!

emiliyva, I like Wisnton and Roderick a lot! Oliver is one of my favourite names, but boyfriend says no...

mclola, Orpheus Eamon Rainier is magical! Thanks!!

[blade]

Yeah! Happy to help. When I found Eindride I knew it was perfect.

[amydomsmom]

Oooh yes Blade, Gawain Perseus Bayard sounds much better! That is my vote for sure. =]

[ottilie]

Amy, rulebreaking is fine, especially with these ones... I love Evander Altair Lorengel the most, it's beautiful!! Rainier Endymion Westfall as well, it feels very serious and hunter-ish. Orpheus Rainier Marinell is also perfect, Marinell is such a cute little name, really love this more and more as I see it. Thanks so much sweets!

Sparrow, Herne Westcott Wayland and Evander Keir Endymion are really very nice, thank you!!

[ottilie]

Boyfriend loves:
Gawain Perseus Bayard
Herne Wayland Eindride
Rainier Orpheus Marinell (he did a switch-a-roo, Amy!)

Evander Lorengel Altair or maybe Evander Endymion Bran? Or Evander Endymion Ivo? He doesn't like Bard at all.
