    Skylar - I prefer the original Schuyler but I do understand that not everyone can pronounce it or spell it, which might cause some unnecessary complications. That said, I like it, but it's a little too trendy and young for my personal tastes. Modern-ish names don't have much style in comparison to the classics such as...

    Ezra - An absolutely gorgeous, entirely traditional, powerful, sophisticated Biblical boy name. It is quite popular at the moment but, with good reason! It's an absolutely beautiful, humble and charming name with an exotic yet workable feel.

    Sasha - Sacha Baron-Cohen slightly ruined this name for me but, from a bird's-eye perspective, it's a firm classic that is sweet but sturdy and it's the type of name that any man could wear proudly.

    Jaken - Like the little green toad from the anime Inuyasha? Can't stand the character, can't stand the name.

    Quinn - Being Irish, I naturally have a soft spot for this Celtic classic. It's very gentle and calm and placid, which brings to mind the image of a gentle, calm, placid and all around lovely little boy; which is pleasant imagery.

    Paris - Paris Prince of Troy was a bit of a douche but the name itself is drenched in character and age old prestige. By now Paris Hilton has completely ruined it for girls but it's still a viable option for boys and thank god because we need more exciting boy names! Still, for such a short name, it's very majestic and proud, which is one of the many reasons why I adore it.

    Robin - Robin Hood and Christopher Robin are very nostalgic images that come to mind whenever I see or hear it. It's very popular for boys in the UK but, I still like it because, again, it's gentle. Gentle boy names seem to be rather underrated nowadays which is a shame but, oh well. Robin is teriffic and "Rob"/"Robby" are adorable nicknames.

    Avery - Much more attractive in comparison to its English counterpart Alfred. And, while I am more partial to Aubrey, Avery in itself is very enigmatic and suave. It bears a traditionally posh feel but doesn't exude any snobby attributes, which is great.

    Maxim - It's too surnamie for me. And all I can think of are Maxim Mooncakes. It's not too bad and I prefer it much more than I do the ever-popular Maxwell but, this one just rubs me the wrong way...

    Oskar - I love Oscar but the spelling Oskar is a little too rough and awkward looking for my tastes.

    Jasper - Despite Twilight, this name will always be one of my most favourite classic. I can't actually explain why I love it so much but, it has a certain... vibe to it. It's very aristocratic but also workable for any boy and it ages wonderfully. So, really, what's not to like?

    My choices would be Paris + Jasper, because they'd be adorable together. But Ezra + Robin come pretty close.

    p.s (to the first few answers):

    1. There's nothing wrong with "girly" names for boys.

    2. None of these names are properly feminine. Most aren't even legitimately unisex.

    3. Any boy name that isn't James, Michael or Alexander is, on this site, criticised for being "too girly"/"feminine". Don't let ignorance limit other people's baby naming options.

    I would personally choose Avery and Skylar, I think that they go very very well together, and they are the nicest names in my opinion there, although I adore both for both girls and boys, they are lovely!!

    Skylar 6/10

    Ezra 8/10 I would have said Avery and Ezra, but it clashes or sounds too matchy

    Sasha 1/10

    Jaken 5/10

    Quinn 1/10

    Paris 3/10

    Robin 2/10

    Avery 9/10

    Maxim 3/10 - starting to like this a little more

    Oskar 2/10

    Jasper 4/10

    Id choose Ezra and Oscar or Jasper and Oscar. Love these names.

    Im not too keen on unisex names so id cross off Skylar, Sasha, Quinn, Paris and Robin.

    Avery to me is a surname.

    Jaken looks made up- not a fan of this one.

    I used to really like the name Maxim for a little boy then I researched it.... try image googling this name before keeping it on your list!!!!! Ive now removed it completely lol.

    Oscar

    Jasper

    Ezra

    All three lovely names :-)

  • 8 years ago

    Oskar

    The name may be derived from two elements in Irish: the first, os, means "deer"; the second element, cara, means "friend". I found Oskar is one of masculine names. The name 'Oskar' shows a 'powerful' and 'strong' name for a boy. Even so, I can sense intelligence and humble. But, getting a nickname for Oskar is hard (I don't think Ozzie is adorable). All I can think whenever I heard the name Oskar/Oscar is a boy who: strong, influenced, brave, intelligence, cunning (in a good way), humble, venturesome, a true-warrior, not easily deterred, and dreamer.

    Ezra

    From Ezra the Scribe, his name may be an abbreviation of Azaryahu, "God-helps". In the Greek Septuagint the name is rendered Esdras (Greek: Ἔσδρας), from which Latin: Esdras. Ezra, though people considered it as a unisex name, I personally found it adorable. 'Ezra' sound so soft to me and all I can think of is a boy which is soft-hearted and kind. He is adorable. Ezra is: soft-hearted, kind, humble, intelligence, introvert, thinker, wise, and and he is the one who looked ahead to his brother.

    Oscar and Ezra is a good combo for a twin. I always think that twins are contrary to each other character. Oskar and Ezra is great.

    Skylar and Oskar - mischievous

    Quinn and Paris - high-class

    Maxim and Jaken - thoughtful

    Jasper and Robin - dreamer

    Maxim and Avery - intelligence

    Jaken and Jasper - charming

    Jasper and Oskar (prefer Oscar)

    OR

    Ezra and Jasper

    Skylar - This name in my opinion, is very feminine! It's a beautiful name for a little girl but i'm just not keen for a boy!

    Sasha - Again, Sasha is a girls name and to me just doesn't work on a boy!

    Jaken - This is too obviously made up! Its one of those trying to be unique names, but to me the pronunciation just sounds a bit silly!

    Quinn - I don't mind Quinn, but i don't love it either! Also, I can't decide if maybe its a bit feminine!

    Paris - Paris really only works on girls, and even then I strongly dislike it! Its very tacky!

    Robin - Much like most of your other names, I much prefer Robin for a girl but spelt Robyn! It just has a very girly sound to it!

    Avery - I'm getting a little bored of writing this, but again I think Avery suits a girl a lot more than a boy!

    Maxim - I just dont really like this! It sounds like Maxine!

    Sorry, those are just my opinions! You seem to like very feminine names for boys and that really just isnt my taste at all!

    Some of these names sound pretty feminine. Avery, Skylar, Sasha, Paris. They're nice names, but kids can be cruel and no boy wants to have a "girl name".

    With that in mind, I would go with Jasper and Oskar. However, if you want to go with more similar names, have you considered Oskar and Markus? They're both German and I think they go together nicely.

    Skylar is a lovely name but suits a girl better.

    The others are very unusual.

    Oskar and Maximus Would be nice. Maxim again looks girly, but Maximus has a strong quality.
