Brekken and?

We have a son named Brekken, so we like unusual names. Brekken is a lovely village in Norway (not where we got his name from) but it's unusual, but still pronounceable. That's what we're looking for, any ideas?

Heath, Cormac or Soren from me.

To the ikea brigade: there is a lot of needless unhappiness and aggression in the world. Really no need to use the name of a poster's young child as a vehicle for your anger or contempt.

Soren is lovely. Brekken, what a cutie!

Fazakerley. If I didn't live near it I would SO use it for a people name.

I think Brekken is a lovely name. And he is one super cute boy.

How about Colby?

Brekkon sounds like Ikea Furniture tbh IMO unless you live in Norway your going to get the same general reaction Confused why a Norwegian name if your not from Norway

Titus?

Brekken is cool! I like Leif with it if you're having a boy Smile

Level75 · 01/12/2016 22:32

I love Soren. Tuppence (suggested above) is what some people I know call their vaginas, so maybe skip that one!

Bognor?

I like the sound of Brekken

Me too and, even if it's not for everyone, those listing Ikea furniture are just being spiteful.

BonusNewt · 01/12/2016 20:29

I like the suggestion of Soren and will raise it to Sorensen, although maybe you wouldn't want two names ending in"en".

UnbornMortificado · 01/12/2016 20:21

It's a lovely name. People are fucking rude about names on here.

To be fair you won't have got the piss took out of any name which isn't the mn norm.

He's lush and congratulations on your pregnancy.

Lachlan goes well with Brekken, I think.

And your little boy is lovely OP Smile

ThoraGruntwhistle · 01/12/2016 20:07

I think Leif or Heath would be lovely Smile

It's unusual, but still pronounceable.

I like brekken, it's not so outlandish and I think the op has been very gracious in her responses to some mean bitchy comments made.
Depends on if your having another boy op, do you know???
I really like Seren for a girl and Dexter for a boy

SeashellHoarder · 01/12/2016 19:48

I like the suggestion up thread of Leif. Goes nicely with brekken.

Leif the lucky was a famous Viking who discovered north America (so they say)

OSETmum · 01/12/2016 19:39

Kirby. I saw a girl called Kirby in Canada but I think it works as a boy's name too.

ForeverEyesOfBlue · 01/12/2016 19:38

Brekken is a wee cutie, OP!
I'd like to suggest Nairn for another boy, it's a place in Scotland. I think it goes nicely with Brekken.
