Ok ok - you win, Beauden is out. But now I really need your help - baby due any day now.

How about Indigo Sky for a boy? Any better?

I like some of the suggestions but nothing really appeals.

I like soft sounding nature names like:

Aspen (too much potential for teasing)
Cypress (too much like Cyprus)

Can't have Forest or River or Winter which I like.

So, I have listened to everyone but now I have no name. And baby might be born any time.

Help.

'Skyler is an anglicised form of the Dutch surname Schuyler'

Apparently...

What about Orlando?

colditz · 01/10/2010 19:06

So what in the name of the living lord is a Skyler? is it a bird?

MrToad · 01/10/2010 19:04

OP do you like Inigo? Much better than Indigo IMHO, it's a real name.

insertexpletive · 01/10/2010 19:02

Do you mean that you already have a child called Autumn?

Really?

I agree, how boring would life be without a daily kicking at school? to give your child a normal name would be to deny him such pleasures as being laughed at by peers, mispronounced by teachers, and looked over for jobs and promotions.

Thomas will manage companies. Indigo Sky will serve fries.

Idaho is a state of the USA a la Arizona.

Pronounced 'Eye-Da-Hoe'

thanks for all these comments - will look through them once little ones are in bed. Yes, perhaps Indigo Sky is too out there but still like Indigo.

Idaho - not even sure how that is pronounced - is it a name. I thought Aspen might be potential teasing material because of 'ass' sound at the beginning. Perhaps it's only me that sees that?

Yes, like Beau but would sound ridiculous with our surname. Beaumont I just don't like. Love Winter but can't as we have an Autumn. Will look through your suggestions later.

I really don't mind the harsh criticism - would prefer me to have that anyday than call my child something absolutely ridiculous. Having said that, sorr, but child will never be one of the Thomas trains - now, that would be far too boring.

Confused about hoe you can think Aspen has too much potential for teasing but are considering Indigo Sky?!

How about Finn, Aldous, or Ewan?

pinkthechaffinch · 01/10/2010 18:16

Idaho is pretty cool, isn't it OP?

Sounds a bit like Indigo, but more masculine, and, dare I say it, more unusual.

Go on, OP, choose it, and let us know when you have Smile

Skyrg · 01/10/2010 18:16

Gosh, there is a Ben on Thomas the Tank!
Also a Buster, Butch, Proteus and Duck though. Perhaps not the best names list colditz? :)

OP, what about a star, Sirius? Hm, maybe too Harry Potter...

insertexpletive...brilliant, instead of a name, she could just call him a symbol.

There's a tank engine called Ben? Clearly I have not watched Thomas for too long.

Don't be silly, he will get the living shit kicked out of him at school if you call him Indigo Sky. It sounds like a trashy sex novel, or a film about "A young woman's coming of age, set against a backdrop of war torn Lithuania"

What about Ben? or Tom? Or James?

basically, any of the male trains on Thomas The Tank Engine.

insertexpletive · 01/10/2010 18:08

What about Purple Rain?

redrobin · 01/10/2010 18:07

in which language, glasto?

glastochick · 01/10/2010 18:05

I like it, but then I'm a fan of 'unusual' names and as a result DS has an unusual name.

What about Brishen? Am sure some on MN will think it sounds like a type of bread but it means 'born in a rainstorm' which I think is lovely.

redrobin · 01/10/2010 18:04

god, bring back derek and keith.
