what do you think of my girl's name

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

currrently PG dont know what sex yet,
for a girl i'm thinking Mhairi (pronounced vary/varie?) middle name jane?

i'm completely stuck on boys names so any ideas let me know

[lilly13]

it is a very nice name. the problem is that if you live in the uk, people would mispronounce and misspell it all the time...

[PortBlackSandwitch]

Boys names...how about Edward or Eric?



I've never heard Mhairi before and she will get called Mary Jane a lot - it is pretty though

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

thats what DH and Mil say i'v loved it since i was a child. its gealic(sp?) for Mary,

if it makes any difference i have 1 DS named Christopher.

any ideas for boys names?

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

sorry yes i'm in the UK (scotland)

[pointydog]

Mhairi is lovely.

I love the nicknames Ed and Eddie.

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

i don't want edward becuase everyone would say its because of twilight, plus i knew an edward as a child and he was horrible. not keen on Eric surname is kennedy and i think it only really goes with plain/traditional names?! (which is why jane is in middle)

[PortBlackSandwitch]

Aiden seems to fit with what you are after

Or Andrew (too naff?)

[PortBlackSandwitch]

Or Rowan (Irish for Red haired, english for Tree )

i have one so i am biased...

[PortBlackSandwitch]

Edmund (on a roll)

[OFGS]

Ooh, lovely!

[pointydog]

I love Aidan.

Joe. James. John.

[pointydog]

Rowan is more of a girl's name in scotland. I hae never come across a scottish boy rowan. I'm sure they exist but I think they'd be wet

[theresapotatoundermysink]

Never heard it before but really like it. I think it will get mispronounced, when I read it I thought it was Mary. Once you have corrected them though its an easy enough name to say so shouldn't be too repetitive!

[UndiscoveredApprentice]

I know lots of Mhairis, all pronounced Va Ray and I have know idea how you get Mary Jane from that!

[PortBlackSandwitch]

I had only heard of Rohanne for a girl before coming on MN.

I'll admit it's not the butchest name ever but i just love it. And my Rowan is anything but wet

[PortBlackSandwitch]

Undiscovered - OP said middle name would be Jane

[LessNarkyPuffin]

Do you like the shoes?

[pink4ever]

I really like it but they will probably get called Mari-ee or Mary. How about Morven?. Also like Rowan(for boy or girl) but dh vetoed it.

[PortBlackSandwitch]

I like Maud for a girl too - nice strong name.

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

haha love rowan DH has red hair so might be self fulfilling prophesy

not keen on names beginning with A not sure why though

i liked Marcus for a boy when last PG but not so much any more.

i think i'll stick with my girl's name and just hope would love a little girl

[EdwardorEricCantdecide]

will scour baby name books and come back with some ideas.

[talkingnonsense]

I have only heard mhari pronounced mar ( rhymes with star) ee. Is it usually va rey?

[frankenonsense]

If you are in Scotland not too many people will have a problem with spelling or pronunciation of Mhairi.

If you are likely to have a red-head boy how about Rhuiri ( choice of spellings there).

[frankenonsense]

Or, if you like the sound of Mhairi, how about Murray for a boy?

[pointydog]

Oh sorry, port. Didn't mean to insult your boy.
