Me and my husband cannot agree a baby name HELP?!?!

I've suggested Sol (which j have been secretly calling baby).... he's suggested names I can't pronounce like Laye "Li-ah" , Bosso and Iso....I don't know 😫
Our other son is called Orson, his children from previous relationship are boys Ayoh and Tayah....
Suggestions please!!! Everything I've suggested is vetoed 😦

Trouble with Yves is that people may hear Eve (which is a pretty popular girls' name)

Oh hang on! I take it back! Those top 4 names aren't top Cameroonian names of babies - I think it''s top Cameroonian names using their website

Oops! Blush

Sorry!

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:27

Yves
Bertrand NN Bert
Edmond
Pascal
Felix

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:21

According to this link the top 4 names in Cameroon are Patrick, Eric, Kevin and Christian Wink

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:13

Rafiki - NN Rafe?

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:10

Sol is lovely but possibly don't call him Sol if you're from Liverpool or another area where your family are likely to prefix names with "our ..." as in "our Suzie". It's an unfortunate combination with Sol as an old friend found out, after she'd named the baby and gone to visit family Blush

If your relatives don't do this it's not an issue - and a beautiful name!

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:05

Some Cameroonian names / names popular in Cameroon (according to the Internet)

Kendis
Alphonsius - you could havecNN Alfie
Aubin (lovely sounding name IMO although be aware it means white coloured - you may or may not think that'a a good thing?)

Ozias
Kofi

Disclaimer I have no idea how much these are actually used in Cameroon - simply picking ones I think sound lovely / fit the bill from Internet lists of Cameroonian names

What about shai instead of shea?

I love Asa but it was vetoed.
I am not keen on Sol. Beautiful baby.

Not a fan of the name Adam, and Cobi is great but kind of rhymes with our surname with ends with "mi"

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 18/03/2017 20:46

Beautiful boy! Sol is sweet.

Adam or Cobi?
