Male names mostly suck.

Over the past 25 years they have gotten 500x worse. Matthew, Mark, Luke & John might be the only acceptable names today that don't sound like a single mother dreamed it up.

Any white man under the age of 80 with a name that ends with -den, -dun, -ton or -son and isn't associatrd with non-ghetto American blacks like Curt, Keith & David, should consider going by their middle name or first two initials.

What about Asher? That’s a pretty stupid name that I have seen a lot of.

Naming your kid after the 12 tribes of Israel or anyone else in the old testament used to be normal. It's turned into a woman's naming schema.

I'm afraid we are stuck with Gaelic, English, Germanic that don't match the above pattern, and new testament names for the foreseeable. There are some pretty masculine names in the NT, for example: Thaddaeus, Phillip, James, Barnabas, Stephan, Cornelius, Claudius, Titus, Tiberius, Felix, Herod and many more. The list is rich.

Titus is cool.

I almost named my 2yo Tiberius. We went with Mark.

Haha. Would have been cool. But this way probably better for him going through school.

You can't go wrong with old testament names.

I'd like you to meet my boys, Gog and Magog

these made up names just to "be different" have now had the opposite effect and are a complete bore. when everyone does it... move along nothing interesting to see here.

By naming Jr a traditional name, it became unique. There was only one other kid in his school with the same name before we pulled him out. 🤷‍♀️
