Per- LEASE!! No! No! No!

Okay if you're a z-lister looking for a wacky name to get you in the DM but otherwise - think of the child!!!! Scenario - geeky, small for his age child going into year 7 at the local 'ard comp. He won't stand a chance...

I also like Nyx as a name for boy or girl.

I like it for a girl. Not a boy though. Jamie is very uncommon in these parts now and it's such a lovely name.

There are many Princes, Callums, Calebs, Kierons, but no Jamies.

phoenix is fab.
i love it.

i am cursed with a hippy astrological last name though and have to be careful with unusual first names.

I know a boy called Phoenix NN Nix

but not keen i'm afraid

Yes, only choose a name for your child that you can spell without having to think about it

lisad123 · 05/04/2009 17:09

love it i love anything slightly different. If you like it sod anyone else

LetThemEatCake · 05/04/2009 17:05

what did I tell you!! LOL

Edam is right.

If you want to be unique, call him Kevin.

Dare ya.

edam · 05/04/2009 16:36

Sorry, I don't like it either.

If you really want to be different, try Peter or John - these days unusual names are so popular it's the 'normal' names that would stand out.

itchyandscratchy · 05/04/2009 16:35

so there you go!

EdwardCullensWife · 05/04/2009 16:34

No. Not at all.

Nancy66 · 05/04/2009 16:28
