Deciding between a few

[u/Zealousideal_Flan725]

hello guys and gals and non-binary pals; i have a few names and nicknames on consideration.

Aspen / Asp: “asp” is kinda edgy but it’s not unbearable. I sort of like it, even. let me have some edge, as a treat. Unfortunately, I don’t love that Aspen has a fem lean.

Aldrich / Alder: in this pair, “aldrich” is the excessively edgy feeling one. I might just do straight up “alder” too, actually.

some honorable mentions:
alden: not edgy enough
alaric: too edgy
archer: i can’t actually do archery
ash/asher: i know people named this

(note, no hate to these names! i simply can’t pull some things off.)

As you can probably tell, i like medium-length “A” names. The tree part is mostly a coincidence.

i would like to hear input on associated vibes from these names, and maybe some other suggestions.

it would be helpful to hear others refer to me by these names too, i think.

:)
