Short Boy's Names: This or That?

Question

Please choose ONE name from each "this or that" option. You'll end up with one for each letter of the alphabet (except for Q and U). Please do NOT say "both" or "neither". If you despise both, tell me which one you despise the least.

I realize some people feel that some of these should be nicknames only (i.e. Drew or Finn), and that is perfectly fine with me. Still choose one please, but feel free to point out that you prefer it as a nickname.

For this question, I classified "short" names as names with 5 or less characters and/or 2 or less syllables. So, here are the names:

Adam OR Alan

Blake OR Bryce

Carl OR Clark

Dean OR Drew

Earl OR Edwin

Floyd OR Finn

George OR Graham

Heath OR Hans

Ivan OR Ian

Jack OR Joel

Keith OR Kirk

Luke OR Lance

Mark or Max

Noel OR Neil

Otto OR Oscar

Paul OR Pierce

Reid OR Rhys

Seth OR Sean

Todd OR Troy

Vince OR Vaughn

Wayne OR Wade

Xander OR Xavier

York OR Yale

Zeus OR Zane

(Ok, so maybe Xavier's not really that short, but I was limited with X names! lol)

BQ: What are your favorite THREE names from the ones above?

:)

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Adam

Alan is boring, I have a good friend named Adam:)

Blake

For some reason I'm liking Blake at the moment. cool name.

Carl

Clark reminds me of superman, not really a bad association, but I prefer Carl.

Dean

Drew reminds me of Drew Barrimore, I do realize it's unisex, but I've never met a boy Drew. Dean is cool.

Edwin

Earl is interesting, but I prefer Edwin.

Floyd

Pink Floyd? :) Finn is boring.

George

George is a wonderful classic, Grahm is also a great name, but I do prefer George.

Heath

Heath reminds me of Australia, surfers, summertime and long white beaches:D Hans is dull

Ian

Ivan seems so harsh, I don't like Ian much either, but I prefer it over Ivan.

Jack OR Joel

Both names are really lovely, but I prefer Jack as a nickname for Jaquin, also there allways seem to be an "Jack" in american TV shows, this sort of puts me off the name. Joel is really interesting, uncommon and great. I prefer it as a middle name, but lovely just the same.

Keith

Neither is particularly nice, but Keith is better.

Luke

I love Luke as a NN for Lucas, which also is a lovely name. Lance I don't like, it seems to feminine for some reason.

Max

I love all the male "Max-" names, and I love Max as a NN for them, it's sweet, but masculine and strong. Suits any age. I've never been a fan of Mark as means "worm" in norwegian!

Noel

I was massivly into Noel a few months back, and though I don't consider it a favorite any more, I do like it. It's soft, sweet but also strong. Great as a middle name.

Oscar

Oscar is so cute! The only Otto I know is 76 years old, feels a bit outdated.

Pierce

Pierce is pretty cool, I'm quite liking Percival and Percy, which are similar names. Paul is a bit overdone by now.

Reid

A bit surname-y, but alright.

Seth

Seth is nice.

Troy

Todd just reminds me of the character on "Scurbs". He was so tiering:( Troy is masculine and strong!

Vaughn

Cool name.

Wade

Not a fan of either, but Wade is the lesser of two evils.

Xander

Not a fan of this way of spelling it (prefer Sander), but it's alright.

York

Would not name my child either.

Zeus

Have to go for the greek god:) Pretty cool name.
