My Top 10 Boy Names

Hey guys! We are in the middle of my week of Blog Anniversary posts and today I have my top 10 boy names. I realized that I have never done a top ten list and that’s probably because I never had a top 10 until a couple of months ago. At this moment my top 10 is kind of under construction but I do have the list for you. it was easier to do the boy names because my favorite boy names hardly change. I’ll tell you the name, meaning, origin and a little about why I like it. So let’s get started.

1. Theodore- Theodore means divine gift in Greek. Theodore has been my top boy name for months now. I love the way it sounds and that it isn’t too popular or too unpopular. I also love the nickname Theo. I do have a few combos for the name Theodore and they are Theodore Landon, and Theodore Vincent.
2. Amadeus- Amadeus means God’s love in Latin. I’m not sure where I first here this name but some friends I have, have a friend named Amadeus and they always talked about him. I love the nickname Deus or even Day. It sounds so exotic and cool.
3. Thaddeus- Thaddeus means praise in Greek. Not sure where I here this name either but I really like it. It sounds exotic and manly. I can picture it on a baby or on an adult. For this name I have the nickname Thadd.
4. Atlas- Atlas means support, prop in Greek. I first here the name Atlas in the book The Atlas of Love by Laurie Frankel and I fell in love with it. Ever since I read that book I have loved the name. For Atlas I don’t have a nickname but if you have one let me know.
5. Vincenzo- Vincenzo means prevailing in Latin. I first heard the name Vincenzo on Tumblr. It was the boyfriend of a girl I followed on tumblr and she talked a lot about him. They are no getting married and have 2 kids. I also like the name Vincent but it is too popular, I have too many in my family, and I had a bad association with a Vincent to use it. As for nicknames I like Vince, Cenzo or Enzo.
6. Lorenzo- Lorenzo means man from Laurentum in Latin and Italian. I loved this name long before Snooki named her baby this. I even loved the nickname Enzo for it. The usable factor for me has gone down because of that but I still like the name and I still would use it.
7. Atticus- Atticus means from Athens in Latin. I never read To Kill a Mocking Bird so I never heard of the name Atticus and it didn’t make me think any differently about it. I’m not positive where I heard this name but I do know that when I first here it I feel in love. I don’t have a nickname for Atticus beside Atty but that’s too girly for me.
8. Ambrose- Ambrose means immortal in Greek. I first heard this name on Amelia’s videos. I fell in love and have loved it ever since. I think it is a very strong name and has a very nice ring to it. As for a nickname I kind of like Brose or Bro.
9. Ezra- Ezra means helper in Hebrew. I hated the name Ezra! So many people on formspring loved it and were always asking questions about it that I think I feel in love with it. No I like it but not enough for it to be in my top 5. I think Ezzy would be a cute nickname.
10. Francisco- Francisco means from France in Latin. Francesca use to be one of my favorite names but I don’t love it any more. I think that is why I liked Francisco. I don’t like the nicknames Fran or Frank but Cisco is kind of cute.

So that is all of my top 10 names. I seem to like a lot of Greek names and that goes for girl names as feel. I think in general Greek names are very strong and grand sounding names. If you want to see the girl list come back tomorrow. I hope you liked this and don’t forget to comment. Bye for now :)
