Oh, and Awkward Turtle, sorry I missed your message. Another vote for Caspar!!! I also love Oscar and I think it flows better with Cormott than Caspar. I would choose Felix in a heartbeat if it wasn't so overdone here in Germany. @cormott
Guest B, thank you for your list! My favorite from the new names you gave is Laurens... I'll have to think about that one. Jasper is cute but Germans would say [yasper]. RobynT That's one vote for Caspar! You're right, it is a great name. Ansel would have the same issues as Anselm I'm afraid. Maybe Anson would work, I'll ask dh. It actually doesn't bother me to know that Arden is used for girls... but I think I'll throw it out because of the -den ending anyway. Valentine Baby That's another vote for Caspar! I also think I could get over the friendly ghost thing. Thanks everyone for your help - If you have any other ideas or comments I could love to hear them! I'm also thinking about Leander now, do you like it? Can you think of any other classic Greek names that might fit? @cormott
Hello fellow Name Enthusiasts! I'm now facing the daunting task of choosing a name and I would like to solicit your help. I'm looking for a boy name (we already have a workable list of girl names though we haven't made a final choice yet). Our little boy will live between the US and Germany so therefore we are looking for a name that sounds fresh and classic in both countries. Our last name is something like Cormott. In terms of flavor I imagine a name that is Latin based or Germanic though you're welcome to surprise me with other options that you think might fit. We're hoping for a name with a long history that has fallen out of use. Here are some names that we've considered to give you a feel for our style: -Felix - this would be a great choice if it wasn't the #8 boy's name in Germany right now... #8 is really too popular wouldn't you say? -Oscar (I like Oskar better but since our last name begins with "c"...) of course there is the grouch problem. -Caspar (I like Kaspar better but since our last name begins with "c"...) I'm not sure if the alliteration of Caspar Cormott would be cute or over the top. Is the friendly ghost association dead yet? -Anselm - due to a family taboo it's probably unusable but otherwise it would be my favorite -Crispin - I feel like English speakers will immediately read "crispy" and again, too alliterative? -Anton - seems a little too commonplace -Pascal - this is a front runner right now though i don't like the nickname cal -Arden - I'm afraid it will blend in with Jayden and Cayden and lose its Latin charm -Magnus - the pronunciation variation with [mawnus] makes me think it would be better in the middle name slot -Ferdinand - I can't shake the inevitable nickname of ferd, sounds like pferd = horse -Valentin - too corny? valentine's day may have ruined this name. Plus Germans will pronounce it falentin. -Orson - I'm still deciding if I like this name -Hartmut - I like it but dh doesn't -Ansgar - I like it but dh doesn't Thank you so much for your help and I'm eagerly awaiting your feedback ;-) @cormott
