Title: What names fit me?
Post by: Dylan Michael on March 02, 2011, 10:36:47 PM
Hi everyone, I'm starting to think about names and I have some favorites but I can't decide on one. Here are some that I like: Matthew, Bryden, Alex, Blake, Drew (my mom's boyfriend is named Andy, so that might be weird), Declan, Dominik, Elliot/Eli. What name out of these or others do I look like? thanks :)

I like Declan, Elliot, Matthew, and Blake. Bryden is cool, but I've never heard it before, so it might stand out too much, unless you want it to be unique.

To me you look definitely like a Declan or an Alex even. But that's really hard to suggest... it's really tough, there are so many beautiful names.

  I have no explanation why but you look like a Joshua to me.

I like Eli.  Or possible Elias.

To me for some reason you really look like a Jayson. Also, you look like my old friend Eli, so that would fit too.

Josh was the first thing I thought of on seeing the photos  xD


Of the names from the post, though, I'd say Matt/Matthew and Drew seem rather fitting.

Hmm... name picking is hard, but I'll give you my honest opinion.

When I saw your first picture (without reading your intro), the first thing I thought of was Elijah Wood (I think you look a little bit like a younger version him or something... Maybe I'm crazy.   :laugh:). So, reading your list, I think Eli suits you the best. Or possibly Alex (but that can also be a girl's name, so short term it might be a pain unless you go by Alexander).

Good luck deciding!  ;D

Definitely Conor / Connor / Conner.

I actually think you look like a Derek, not sure how you feel about that.

I feel strongly that you're a "D" person, so Dominik would work too.

Levi.

If not that, then Alex for sure.
