The name my aunt and uncle chose for the newest baby - their fifth. Siblings called Kyle, Nathan, Steven and Faith. I'd not heard them suggest it before so it seemed to come out of nowhere. What are your thoughts?

Surname is long and begins with C.

Must suggest Dildonia to someone....

TiggyD · 16/06/2012 21:19

Seems a perfectly reasonable name. Not like they called him Fridge-Magnet or Dildonia.

blondie72 · 16/06/2012 21:15

perhaps they were too busy with the other 4 kids and settled for the first name in the baby naming book...

I like it

boyfallingoutofthesky · 16/06/2012 20:52

oops, see they are pronouncing it the other way - in that case do not like, wish more people would pronounce it properly, in the biblical way.

boyfallingoutofthesky · 16/06/2012 20:51

It is lovely if pronounced correctly (Air-on) :) It also has very illustrious history. I don't see the problem with commenting here on someone else's baby name -is not as if the op was being rude!

Erm...thanks for your input! I was just wondering what people thought of the name in general really.

A bit off to ask for an opinion on a name that's actually been given OP. Especially as it's not your baby.

FormerlyTitledUntidy · 16/06/2012 20:08

I hate it. Bleurgh.
Sorry to anyone who has one, it's just not for me. Loads of people I know have called their boys Aaron (well 3) and I always wonder why, when there are some really lovely names

It's a-run, that's the way most people back in NI say it. I knew one guy called air-run but it's not commonly pronounced that way!

Personally I don't really like it - I think it's kind of outdated? He's a sweet little gay nonetheless. Other suggestions were William, Jacob and Caleb.

Love it!

ellesabe · 16/06/2012 20:03

I quite like it but I'm never sure whether to pronounce it air-run or a-run iyswim

misslinnet · 16/06/2012 19:38

I think it's a nice name Smile

It's a biblical name too, so fits in nicely with Nathan, Steven and Faith.

Initials AC seem fine to me too.
