Wasn't Malachai in children of the corn?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 19/08/2019 18:09

I like Quinn but its the name of a baddy in one of my fave book series. The character is called Quinn Dexter so maybe you could have Quinn and Dexter? :p

Lampostacrosstheroad · 19/08/2019 17:43

Malachai would rule out Greek holidays. Sounds too much like malakas (Greek for wanker).

Ahem.

I'm really not sold on Quinn, the more i say it the less i like it eek!

And I love the fact it means thunder bear and this is why it would have suited DS1 and the thunder from his bum!!

How about Nile? No naming children after rivers is my new rule [grin[

Malachy and Torben
Stellan and Darragh
Heath and Lowell

I'm going to get snitty if you don't like any of these, I've suggested loads of names on this thread now.

Grin
Sparklysunflower · 19/08/2019 16:21

Quinn and Torben get my vote.

AlbertWinestein · 19/08/2019 15:59

The Malachi I know is shortened to Mali.
How about Nile?
I kind of like Castiel and Quinn though. Icarus and Ignatius, nope!

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 19/08/2019 15:55

@Sleeping could you use it this time? Quinn and Torben / Torbien sound lovely together. And I love the fact it means thunder bear.
It's been vetoed for me by DH as it's too similar sounding to our surname (I can see why, both end in 'in' / 'ing')

@DennisSkinnersMolotov love Torbin. Really wanted Torbien for DS but he's a Xavier instead

I've got a little boy called Quinn. Other names we liked were -
Micah
Leo
River
Logan

I love Castiel, but then I am a Supernatural fan Grin

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 19/08/2019 12:07

And if it was up to DS1 his brother would be called Leonardo (I actually don't mind Leo but it's too close to the dogs name), Ivo, or Mitch (!)

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 19/08/2019 12:03

DS is Quinn so I'm biased (it was a LOT less common 7 years ago).

I like Cassius and Lachlan that you've mentioned. As you like Quinn, our boys list for DS2 includes Felix, Harris, Cohen, Torbin.

What's wrong with Ben and Sam?
John and Peter
. My cousin, my friends son, my friends husband and my uncle. Nothing wrong with the names per se but no desire to give them the names of people were close to

John and Peter

Carpetburns · 19/08/2019 07:02

Quinn the twin?!

Truly awful. All of the suggestions. Honestly, I'm starting to worry about the next generation. What's wrong with Ben and Sam? Confused

sheshootssheimplores · 19/08/2019 06:57

How about Roman and Maximilian.

HMArsey · 19/08/2019 06:47

Malach-eye or Malach-ee?

Old Testament or Irish (same root presumably).

How your DH can veto Raphael but like Ignatius is beyond me.

SleepingStandingUp · 19/08/2019 00:55

Xavier, Malachi, & Castiel?
Nooooo hope of getting Raphael past him tho I love it

BoomZahramay · 19/08/2019 00:47

Xavier, Malachi, & Raphaël?

Thanks for the latter suggestions, none of them really working. I'm currnetly working on DH for Malakai

CutsAndSnoozes · 18/08/2019 20:26

Nothing particularly wrong with any of the names.

I've RTFT so hopefully I didn't miss suggesting Saul.

Saul
Warren
Christian
Austin
Drew
Shay
Guy
Basil
Solomon

I'm not saying I like any of them, but that's what I got which hasn't been mentioned

Abstractedobstructed · 18/08/2019 10:33

Conrad?

HMArsey · 18/08/2019 08:30

Emmanuel
Emile
