  |Sailboats are boyish, right? I thought flowers and butterflies weren't the best option this time...|

 my current favorite names

part II - boy names

Arthur

Celtic, meaning "strong as a bear" or "king".  This name makes me think of heroic quests, daring sword fights, and Camelot :)

Corin

 Irish, meaning "spear bearer".

  

Marius

Latin, meaning "sailor". And yeah...it's from Les Mis :)

Matthew
Hebrew, meaning "God's Gift".

David 
Hebrew, meaning "beloved".
 

Jonathan

Hebrew, meaning "God has Given".

Charlie

German, from "Charles", meaning "manly". Okay, so I used to not really like this name...but I changed my mind...it's so nice and British! "Charlie bit my finger!"

 

Peter

Greek, meaning "stone". Great fictional people - Peter Pevensie, Peter Pan, Peeta Mellark (kinda?).

Sam

Short for Samuel (or Samson, or....*cough* Samwise Gamgee). Hebrew, meaning "God's Word".

Ryan

Irish, meaning  "little king".

Conor

Irish, meaning "strong-willed".

So there we go!

Oh! And of course "Caleb" and "Brendan". My brothers would feel totally sad if their names weren't mentioned. Actually, they probably wouldn't. But I feel obligated!

What are some of your favorites??
