Hi my husband and I are having trouble coming up with a boy name. We were wanting something somewhat unique and he likes strong names. We both like the name Hawke our last name is Moskow. But now I'm having doubts, because I'm worried about having to explain his name all the time. We also like Dylan. Thoughts??

I thought your chosen name was Troyble too!

Hawke Moskow is problematic as both names have strong meanings of something else iyswim.
Dylan is lovely but not at all unusual, DS has two friends called it.

I read this as you were going to call your baby boy troyble

Me too. I am not keen on Hawke at all. I just can;'imagine and adult male being called that in the workplace.

Hawke Moskow sounds like the lead from an 80's action film. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.

Dylan is lovely but seems very safe in comparison.

Hawk without the e is better. Eagle, Falcon or Peregrine are possible alternatives, or Heron perhaps.
Dylan isn't unique.

or Geordie (normally nickname from George).
or Denny.

Dylan is really popular.

What about Rudy?
