“I find boy names much easier than girl names,” said no one ever.
Ok, I exaggerate. But in my very unscientific experience, many people have long lists of girl names they’d be happy to use, but draw a blank when it comes to boys. There’s still a big divide between well-worn traditional classics, and out-there modern names. And if neither of those is your style, it can feel like there’s not much in between.
But the right names are out there, waiting to be found. This week we highlighted 12 boy names that really deserve more love. Agree?
