Very biased because it’s the name we chose for our daughter but I love the name Alma. I love that it’s beautiful and (relatively) uncommon but also so many people seem to connect with it because it means different things in different languages. I’ve been wondering if Abuela Alma in Encanto will have a positive or negative impact on the popularity of it! Time will tell!

In reply to Marie. Emery was on my list as well but as a girls name. I had never heard that name used before but it was a street name in the small Canadian suburb I grew up in and I loved it.

Congratulations! Realize I’m late to this party, but had so much fun compiling a hopefully helpful list.
(For the Birkenstock aspect)
Lucian: light
Alden, Alder, Rowan: Trees
Marshall: horse keeper (Thurgood Marshall)
(For the Historical aspect)
(and Birkenstock aspect) Thoreau : How awesome would Thor be as a nickname?
Walden… naturally
Thanks so much for the chance to chime in with suggestions. Good luck!

My two boys are Clifford and August! Cliff and Gus. August is a bit more popular now, but it’s definitely timeless, strong, and historical. Clifford is great because it’s familiar to everyone, but not at all common, and I love the strength and simplicity of the nickname Cliff! Same vibe as Cash and Crew, but more timeless.

In reply to Lauren. Haha! Nope! These are off my own list. Is one of his favorites on there? I’m from Oregon (hence Ashland) so I feel like Birkenstock’s are naturally part of my DNA. We’ve got a Montgomery (girl) that goes by Monty and a boy named Memphis. Everyone assumes we’re from the South. Congratulations and would love if you do an update once you decide and feel ready to share with the world. We’ve got a third (another girl) due in late July. I’m changing it up and steering AWAY from the southern names for this one.

Darcy
or
Theodore, but I would use Teddy for short.
