DH has chosen Reijko (Ry-co) for a boy. we don't know the sex yet.

My choice for a girl is Scarlett.

Honest opions please, be as blunt as you like.....

sorry

changet that to 'is he Finnish? If not its bloody awful'

I think it sounds fine - it really depends where you or your DH are from and what your surname is. I have to disagree with NormaStanleyFletcher. If you have a really really easy British surname (e.g. Smith or Jones) then Reijko may sound odd. But Reijko Rassmussen or somesuch similar works.

if it's made up then no - if it's a family name I suppose so.

Honestly? Terrible. Is it a famliy name, in which case, you might have to go with it. But on sight and by spelling, a no-no.

trying too hard

NormaStanleyFletcher · 20/06/2008 14:24

Reijko - not sure really. Do you have a really really easy sirname? Otherwise your boy would spend his life explaining how to spell his name

scarlett is nice

Reijko - very hard to pronounce. Is it scandinavian?

Scarlett's ok.

DrNortherner · 20/06/2008 14:23

Ry - co?

Sounds like a business to me.
