Boy's name to go with Aidan...

Hi,

Found out today that DC2 is going to be a boy! We are really chuffed! DS1 is Aidan and we now need a boy's name to go with it. Surname ends with -lee sound and two syllabus so don't want any similar ending sound names. Also, his middle name will be two syllabus as well and a bit unusual as we are using something from my culture. And nothing too popular (though I can see Aidan is creeping up the popularity list hmm). I kinda think we ended up with the perfect name for DS1 so a bit short of ideas for DS2.

I really like Tristan but thinks Aidan and Tristan is a bit much. Like Owen as well but not 100% sold on it. Lucas I like but too popular now I think and DH not sold on that one... Yeeks! HELP! Thanks!

Ax

Owen comes back to your poets idea - you could therefore drop Wilfred into the mix - a good old English name. Time to go down the Oxford Dictionary of English Literature?

Elliot is nice.
Ethan too similar to Aidan IMO.

Argh argh argh. Thanks for all your suggestions. DH is saying no to Dashiell (which I am still so loving!) or Flynn/Finn so will have to convince him in the next 16 weeks or so!

He likes Elliot (which I don't mind, I kinda like the idea of naming DS2 after an English poet, any other suggestions?), kinda likes Ethan too. I think he mentioned a couple of others like Marcus (yeeks!), Sam, Morgan (what?), Kieran, Charlie and others that I didn't like enough to remember... LOL. This is going to be worse than naming DS1. I want to throw a strop and insists on naming DS2 Dashiell (DH says we are not French, uh, we are not Celtic/Irish either!). hmm

I like Lachlan too but it would be ludicrous with our surname.

Just asked DH about Dashiell (sp? I think Cate Blanchett named one of her sons Dashiell and spelt it like that?) and he made a face and then offered an alternate spelling Daschel? WTF? That looks like a dog breed! grin

love Dashiel - Dash. Will DH accept though?
Lachlan is fab too.

DH hates Ronan Keating with a passion so I don't think Ronan is ever going to fly with him... wink Will have a think about the other suggestions... Lachlan sounds nice but to me (I used to live in the land of Oz) always sounds real Aussie!
