It's a massive GP for me too. I love Icarus! It sounds really energetic and playful. I just can't bare to use Icarus as a middle. Out of your combos I really like:
Icarus Barnaby
Icarus Walter
Icarus Theo
My favourite is definitely Icarus Theo. I like a lot of the middles too, but I get a similar playful vibe from both Icarus and Theo.

I get the same vibe from Icarus and Theo. I think they make a fun, modern combo that has a bit of history but isn't weighed down by it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Icarus is rad.
Icarus Theodore - Really cool!!
Icarus Jacob - Nice enough but Jacob is a bit boring
Icarus George - LOVE
Icarus Nathaniel - nice
Icarus John - John = plain.
Icarus Ned = bit too mismatched
Icarus Barnaby - So good!!!
Icarus Walter - Rally funky
Icarus Martin - kinda nice
Icarus Theo - ok, but Theodore is nicer
Icarus Philip - nice
Icarus Milo - love both names but don't think they fit
Icarus Nathan - Not so matching.
Icarus Henry - Lovely
Some other suggestions
Icarus Olivier
Icarus Shiloh
Icarus Felix
Icarus Fabian
Icarus Vincent
Icarus Pax
Icarus Tiberius
Icarus Jago
Icarus Quinlan
Icarus Tobin
Icarus Isidore
Icarus Cassian
Icarus Ludovic

I have a bit of trouble and comboing Icarus. I want him to sound cool and funky but then again maybe he would benefit from something mellow.
Thanks for stating your opinion on each combo it's really helpful.
I like quite a few of your suggestions as well. Thanks!

Ah, Icarus Ned would be so clunky and bold! I am not a huge fan of teh combo but it's like it went past clunk and landed on chic.
Anyway... I keep thinking I read Icabod... but it is Icarus. I kinda like it because it is one of those weird oldies, even though it has legit mythological references. Kinda like Barclay or Mycroft.
Of your list - the one I genuinely like the most is Icarus Martin or Icarus George... the middles just seem to give the whole name some credance and balance.
Icarus Theodore - the repeat of three syllables is a bit much and throws the balance off. A surname would help - especially if it were only one syllable.
Icarus Jacob - I don't like the repeated sound here... but it look classy.
Icarus George - Flows well and matches in style and sound.
Icarus Nathaniel - Old school sounding. Not bad, but I prefer the shorter middles.
Icarus John - Classy. Also a bit safe. If you didnt like George or Martin, John would be the best if you want it to have sophistication.
Icarus Ned - Clunkity, clunk, clunk... in the best way possible.
Icarus Barnaby - While I love Barnaby, Icarus is enough of a statement that it tames Barnaby down to an undesired level of normal.
Icarus Walter - I actually like this because it has personality... More of a character name to me though.

Sounds like a Damon Runyon gambler, perhaps Sky Masterson's cousin! I'd stick to the mn position, though, because its most likely short form would be Ick or Icky.
OK, I know an Isaac who's always known as Icky, but very few people can carry it off.

I was thinking of Rus or maybe Ike as a nickname for Icarus. It's short, old-fashioned, unexpected, and not Ick/Icky.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Icarus is great. I would only use it as a middle name though, because it seems a bit hard to pull off. But I love it.
I like:
Icarus Theodore
Icarus Barnaby
Icarus Theo
Icarus Henry

In most cases I do put Icarus in the middle. However, I do love him as a first name so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I was a bit worried to ask about Icarus. I felt like opinions would mostly likely be negative straight off. I'm glad that wasn't the case.
Thanks so much!
