He thinks the word witch is too feminine and I am not fond of warlock. We are Green Wiccans if that makes any difference.

Okay, ummm, witch is not feminine... although culture has made it look and sound feminine. Even the dictionary says it's feminine... but I've learned from true witches.
Poor guy. lol
There's no such thing as a warlock. You are all witches. That is the correct word usage... so it looks like Mr. Man is just going to have to deal with the word.
mekhashshepheth is a word found in the bible referring to a male witch meaning "enchanter"... but since I can't even pronounce it I don't suppose you'd want to. lol
ummm, he can have his own magical name you know, kind of like a superhero name or a wrestler name... jut for witches.
Of course it's best if his made up name means something though.

If you are truly Wiccan then you would know that Warlock is a very derogatory term.
Wizard is perfectly acceptable but since the Harry Potter movies people will expect him to do tricks. Stick with Wiccan, period.
Tho it is surprising to see a male witch with macho sexual issues. Does he also have problems with the aspect of the Goddess overshadowing the God?

I prefer to stick to the term "wiccan" because that’s what I am.
I don’t call myself a witch because I rarely practice witchcraft, although it is part of my religion. There are some wiccans who don’t even do magick. Witchcraft is merely a part of my religion. If someone wanted to call me a witch then I wouldn’t object I just prefer to be called a wiccan. If I were to be called a witch I would like it to be another to be using the word because they would understand what it meant.
I do not practice the craft nearly as much as I worship the Gods. I celebrate the wheel of the year and love nature that’s what I do, I do practice the craft occasionally only for the benefit of others.
To be called a “warlock” is to be insulted, it means oath breaker.
As for the word, “witch” its meanings are only ignorance and misunderstanding, and largely feminine.
I like to be called a wiccan.

I know the older Wiccan's just avoid that word all together, preferring Wiccan.
Warlock is something very different meaning, "Oath Breaker."
Really, I am not a Wiccan, but I call myself a witch, and aspiring Magus...

Warlock doesn't even apply, like or dislike is irrelevant.
Why can't he just call himself Wiccan?

Green Man?! ;) j/k
Really, he can pretty much call himself anything he wants. If he tends to introduce himself as whatever he chooses and confuses the person he's conversing with, he can just further explain "male green wiccan", or however he decides to explain it...

Not really, except "Wiccan". Or possibly "magician", although that has the connotation of stage tricks. Or "mage", although that also has non-Wiccan associations.

warlock is actually a foul name...it means "oath breaker"....it's not a compliment.
You might try wizard, conjurer, or how about just Green Wiccan?

Wiccan would be the appropriate term.
If he is more nature based, Druid might suit him.

Honestly, I do not know of any other. Except to label himself simply as a Pagan.
