Completely dreamy, but unfortunately too weird for most English speakers.

I think it's chavvy if you're English. It's in the same bracket as Jaydon, Kyreese, Lexii-Maii etc.

If you're Italian or from a Spanish speaking country, I think it seems ok.

Bit of a double standard I know.

What about Jasper? Lovely name.

I can see your struggling with names (read your other posts). What kind of name are you looking for?
Retro?
Different?
Cool?

I was terrible finding a name for my DD, I managed to name her as I was being discharged. I had a name ready but when I met her I changed my mind. She just didnt suit it!

My first crush was a teen Danté. He was American. This was about 20 years ago all the boys in my class were Gary or Darren and so it seemed very exotic.
