Finally managing to cut down our list and these are my favourites. I realise they won’t be to everyone’s taste but what are your thoughts?

Hendrix
Madoc
Zephyr
Zephyrin

"Let's hope that Zephyr never suffers from IBS."

Yes. I'm guessing Op has chosen the name for the nickname Zeph rather than Fartypants.

If you went for Maddox instead then I'd say that. Otherwise, Zephyr.

yikesanotherbooboo · 17/08/2020 10:14

Madoc ,are you Welsh?
Hendrix
Zephyr is pretty but a bit faddy
Not keen on Zephryn

It’s not really to my usual taste, but I can’t help but love Hendrix. I don’t think the association with Jimi is a bad one. It’s a very cool name. I’ve recently seen a few kids on Facebook named Hendrix, so I wonder if it’s going to suddenly become quite popular. If I were a man, I’d rather be named Hendrix than any of the other names on your list.

Let’s hope that Zephyr never suffers from IBS.

Zephyr means a light breeze. Zephyrs 'waft'. It doesn't sound v masculine to me.

Madoc is the best of your list.

TildaTurnip · 17/08/2020 07:02

Madoc or Zephyr.

Hendrix is far too linked to Jimi for me to use.

Thanks everyone. Hendrix would be my first choice but my husband really likes Zephyr or Zephyrin. You are completely right about Zephyrin sounding like a medication 🤣. Madoc is a welsh name so would definitely be that rather than changed to Maddox.

user1493494961 & BackforGood - no worries, I realise they’re not to everyone’s taste.

Go for Hendrix imo, it's the nicest Smile

whatausername · 17/08/2020 01:20

Now I've clients in my head telling me "Ma doc says that..." 😂

whatausername · 17/08/2020 01:18

Zephyrin really does sound like pills!
Weirdly, I know of 2 Zephyrs and a friend had it on her list last pregnancy. Is there some cultural event that's completely passed me by!?

user1493494961 Grin

I was wondering how to phrase that myself.

Sorry OP, I can't find anything about any of those names I like.

HolyPillow · 16/08/2020 23:20

Madoc by far. (Do you know the Paul Muldoon poem?) Then Hendrix. Zephyrin last by a long way, as it makes me think of a brand of sleeping pills.

user1493494961 · 16/08/2020 23:14

I'd start again with a new list.

TinyMetalBirds · 16/08/2020 22:59

I like Hendrix best. But, it is also the only name from your list that I know children called that name - two - if that affects you.

DoTheMaccaroni · 16/08/2020 22:58

Hendrix is also amazing Grin

DoTheMaccaroni · 16/08/2020 22:58

My friend is due to have a boy named Zephyr soon.. I love it! 🥰

Whatsyourflava · 16/08/2020 21:37

Hendrix

FizzingWhizzbee123 · 16/08/2020 21:36

I also think Maddox sounds better than Madoc.

From the list, I’d pick Zephyr

Swearwolf · 16/08/2020 21:35

I like Madoc best of those, though I like Maddox better - sorry, I mentally combined your first two! Hendrix would be my second choice.
