I need a sexy old-fashioned male name?

I'm writing a story, and I need a sexy, somewhat old fashioned name for a guy. Any ideas?

I need a sexy old-fashioned male name?

Reply:Some people are giving you names straight from Twilight?! Obviously you can't just steal names. Sigh. The psycho twilighters ruined the books for me.





Anywayss..... ;)


Benjamin -- I've always loved this name. Then there's Benji and Ben. Or um, Min, if you want to be unique. Haha, stick with the first two.





Elliot -- Not many nicknames, maybe Ellie? (As in L.E.) Or just plain El. Elliot is short enough on it's own to not need a nickname.





Theodore -- Teddy! I think that's just adorable. Or just Theo.





Julian/Julius -- One of my favorites. Also short enough to not need a nickname, but Jewels (Jules) comes to mind. Warning, used in The It Girl, but it's not as unusual like Jasper or Carlyle, so using it wouldnt make the character from The It Girl spring to mind. (It was found in a search of old-fashioned boys names)





Ezra -- Different, but really sexy. Warning, it was used in Pretty Little Liars, but I came across it on an 'old-fashioned boys names' search.





Clement -- Clem? This reminds me of Clementine, which I adore.





Conrad -- Nuff said. Coolest name...Ever. Haha, he's 'rad'. As in ConRAD. :)





Warren -- Wren/Ren as a nickname? Its pretty short on its own, so you probably don't need one.





Kendal -- I know a guy named this. Sounds kind of dorky at first, but if you fit it with a character sexy enough, it'll work. Before Twilight, Edward was an oldman name. Nickname: Ken?





Avery -- A little femenin, but it is a unisex name, so it could work. Ave could be a nickname.





Everett -- One of my favorites. It's quite sexy, if I do say so myself. Ev or Rett as nicknames? Its reaching, but do-able.





Adam -- If I ever have a boy, I shall name him Adam. It's the sexiest old fashioned name out there. It's pretty old, I mean, Adam and Eve right? I'm ireligious though, so the name has no religious meaning to me. Too short to have a nickname though.





Atticus -- I love Atticus Finch. But if you named your character this people would automatically think of the character from To Kill a Mockingbird.





And finally... Elijah. Same with Elliot, short enough for no nickname, but Eli (As in E-LIE) or maybe just Lye (I'd spell it Lie, but it's brings the word's meaning to mind, so as a name Lye would work better)





Good luck with your story.

Reply:Tristan.





I've had it for all of my 25 years and it's served me quite well. I often get compliments on it... thanks mom and dad!





It means bold and sorrowful. It's a very old European name. Brad Pitt's character had it in Legends of the Fall.





As far as obvious nicknames go... Tristan doesn't nickname very well.
