Baby Name Poll Results

how are bear cub and orane tree good meanings?

Andren isn’t bad. Alani sounds pretty feminine and Tarlo just sounds terrible.

Um...how are they bad meanings? All I meant was that I want names that actually exist and mean something and aren’t totally made up. (And I think a bear cub is a great allegory for a baby boy, and orange is my favorite color.)

Zephyr-wind
Yunis-Dove
Torger-Thor’s spear
Zamael-Angel of Joy
Draco-Dragon
Kadir-green

Anadare-Hawaiian for man
Kalino-Hawaiian- bright one
Arioch-Hebrew-kingly and lion-like
Arsen/i-Greek- manly
Babar-Turkish-lion
Baret-German-bear-brave

Kai-Hawaiian for rejoice
Taiki-Japanese-big tree
Roan-Gaelic-little red one

Granger-Farm steward (English)
Motega-new arrow (native american)

Oooh...love Taren and Calder! Thanks, Sara!

These suggestions are super helpful! Anyone else?

Okay here is some more........

Leonidas (Greek) One who is bold as a loin
Oneida (Native American) Eagerly awaited

You’re welcome.....I found some more for you....

Endor (Hebrew) Fountain of youth,adorable
Elvin (Old English) elf friend,precious friend

See, here’s the problem I keep having with boys’ names: I find a name whose meaning I love, but the name itself doesn’t really do it for me. Like Kenn--love the meaning, but I just think of Ken and Barbie. Same with Renny--my husband and I are both short (I’m 5’3" and he’s 5’7"), so I think that meaning is perfect, but it sounds like runny nose! Anyway, I like:

Kele
Jotham (though we’re not religious, so I don’t know about the meaning)
Ahron
Jacek
Ryons

It’s so nice to see that other people on here like names other than Mason and Caden! :)

Andren and Tarlo are okay but i think you might have gone a bit too far with Alani. its sounds a bit too girly but now i think about it.....tarlo is very cute. Andren is still just okay! at least these names are a little bit different to Ethan, Jack and other extremely popular names!
