Any ideas welcome? 😊

Zephyr - trying too hard to be trendy
Oakley - sunglasses brand
Phoenix - again trying too hard
Jax - Jackson is better. Jacksy/Jaxi as a nn?
Marley - and me… dogs name
I don't like any of them.

Brian and Bob are much better

Please don't use Jacksy!! 😊 😅 That means arse as in "up yer jacksy!" 😂😆😂😄

We ended up steering towards european names and that meant they were slightly unusual but not crazy. Ie Sacha, Gabriel, Raphael, Nico, Luca

I also have a friend with sons named Jevin, Loren and Ebi - all lovely and successful young men aged 30-24.
My nephews are Felix, Sasha, Ollie, Eli and Kavanagh.

I find the repetition of the same sixty odd (?) names shared by many of the boomer generation really dull and unimaginative. So am not throwing any shade in any direction at all, but it is fascinating seeing some of the names here which are not considered 'out there' !
