HELP!! Boys names - honest opinions wanted

15 replies

macana · 07/10/2008 13:45

I'm currently 38+2 with first db, and my husband and I still don't have any boys names decided. We kind of like these three:

Elliott
Solomon
Devon

What do you think?? Any other suggestions of more unusual - but not weird - boys names? Need to be easily pronounced in Spain as dh is Spanish.

thanks!

Elliott - nice
Solomon - less so
Devon - really?

I like Elliott and Solomon, not so keen on Devon.

A friend of mine has a Solomon and a Zebadiah.

Finding a name that is pronounced the same in two languages is SO hard, we've had to do it with Dutch and English.

To me Devon is a cheap pressed meat - a bit like Spam, but not canned.
Love Solomon though!
Leo works well in Spanish.

Solomon's cool.

As long as your surname isn't Grundy!

Honest opinion-
Elliot is okay,
Solomon makes me think of an old man and I don't like place names so that rules out Devon.

I had a Gabriel (Pronounced spanish like Gabrielle in Desperate Housewives) at my Uni. I thought that was nice..

Solomon is cool - I wouldn't be brave enough to use it, but I like it a lot, and Sol is a lovely nickname.

Devon sounds American and corny.

Not keen on Elliot.

I love Elliot!!

Solomon / Sol is good

Not keen on Devon (think of how the V would be prounounced in Spanish too.)

What about the Spanish double-L pronounciation though with Elliot? Ella caused much confusion when I did a school Spanish exchange.

I like Devon.

Love Solomon, that's a name we've previously considered.
