Any ideas of boy names that are connected to the month of Av besides for Menachem and Yeshaya?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestions. For some reason non of these names are speaking to me… I technically could choose any name that I like but I want there to be some meaning/connection to something if I’m not naming after anyone.

Yinon - name of the Moshiach

Yirmiyahu (the Navi of Nechama)

Chananya or Chananel - both meaning Hashem had mercy

This. We gave our Av baby the middle name Ariel.

Our son was born on the 6th of Av. We named his Aryeh after a relative but it was also fitting because the mazal of Av is a lion. Not sure if it's a thing to name after the particular mazal of a month, but worked in our case.

I would say yeshivish light. I don’t think we’d use a modern/Israeli name.
I also have a “mishegas” of not using ch names unless we have a nickname without the ch sound.

Yehuda is compared to a lion but that's not what it means. Aryeh is lion.

We can’t use yehuda or aryeh because they are both names of immediate family members.
