My favs are Kaden , Aspen, Rory, Tucker, Troy, Ryder

Answer 2

Atticus No,Kingston sounds very strong, Phinneaus No, Finnley wound probly get beat up, Merritt very different i like, Archer sounds like a killer, Talon love it love it love it.

Answer 3

Atticus-I like this, its a very mature and strong sounding name. Plus, its a character in a good piece of literature, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Kingston-I like the way it sounds. Very important sounding.
Phinneaus-Its a very bourgeois sounding name. I really don't like it.
Finnley-Nice but would probably be better as a middle name.
Merrit-Its a cute name, great for when he's an adult but might encounter some teasing as a child,however, it may be worth the risk because it is a good name.
Merrick-I like the version above better.
Archer-Definately not something I would use but if you like it go for it.
Talon-I'm seeing this more and more. I think its sound is kind of iffy but the name fits some people perfectly so you never know your kid could be one of those people.
Well, I think these names definately meet the criteria you stated. My favorites Merrit, Kingston and Atticus.

Answer 4

Sorry-I don't care for any of them. Talon sounds like an eagle's claw, Atticus and Phinneaus sound like a king, Archer sounds like an archer. I am not trying to be mean, but what about something a little more common? I mean, would your husband really want to be named Finnley? Try asking him.

Answer 5

Phinnaeus, Finnley, Merrick are good first names.
Atticus, Kingston, Merritt, and Archer are good middle names.
But Talon makes me think of mean birds. Sorry! :)

Answer 6

Atticus- Sounds like meat
Kingston- Because it is Gwen and Gavin's baby, it has too much of a pop culture air
Phinneaus- Rocks I love Phin
Finnley- Again, the name Fin is fabulous
Merrit- Is a cigarette brand name, negative conotation
Merrick- Is unique and strong
Archer-It reminds me of Archery at summer camp, but could be cool
Talon- That is one of those annoying kids from Laguna Beach, not cool

What about Liam, Pierce, Lachlan or Sebastian?

Answer 7

Atticus - Cool
Kingston - Hhhmmm Gwen Stefani?
Phinneaus - Ok
Finnley - Usually spelt with one n, but ok
Merritt - - Noooo, what if he doesn't do well in school???Merrick - Cool
Archer - No
Talon - No

Answer 8

My sister's friend's brother is named Talon. He's never been made fun of or anything and I think it's a way cool name. DO NOT NAME YOUR KID PHINNEAUS OR FINNELY! He will be teased all through school. Atticus is also a way cool name.

Answer 9

On a scale from 1 - 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best these are my ratings.

Atticus - 0
Kingston - 2
Phinneaus - 0
Finnley - 5
Merritt - 5
Merrick - 9
Archer - 2 (What about Asher?)
Talon - 10


Hope this helps...

Answer 10

I think all of the names you have chosen are strong, valiant sounding names. I particularly like the literary reference of Atticus to a wonderfully strong character (good role model).

I also thought that Hawthorne, and if you like the unusual paired with strength, how about Leviathan? (I believe it is Greek, referring to the strength of a crocodile).
