Hi there,

We have a Logan, Autumn, Ocean and are now trying to think of another name that will go nicely.

We are trying to keep with the nature theme and also wondering if we need another 'n' name??

We are going round in circles and getting nowhere. The only names we have come up with are:

Beauden for a boy
Summer for a girl.
Sedona (we got married there).

All probably not right though - Beauden ?, Summer with Autumn probably too contrived and Sedona sounds like 'donor' plus it's a car.

Would so love any thoughts.

None to my taste I'm afraid, but appear to have too much time on my hands and this looks like a useful list...

Yes, I know it's a shop - although not really that big round here. Is that really a problem? It just fits in well and I love the nickname Beau. Can't have Beau on its own because it doesn't work with our surname!

What about Orion?

arizonagirl · 22/08/2010 13:27

Thanks for your thoughts. Bagpusstree - I have seen that list before but have just looked at it again.... and you are right, it is a great list with some names that are worth going through. Thank you!!! And deemented - I really like Orion but it looks too much like 'Onion' when you join it up - not good : )

You can not, under any circumstances, call a child Beauden.

NorbertDentressangle · 22/08/2010 13:34

Fern

-follows the nature theme and isn't too off the wall

arizonagirl · 22/08/2010 13:36

Ok - point accepted. Off to google 'Beauden' never heard of the shop around here. Not too keen on Fern and it wouldn't go with our surname - but thank you for posting : )

Just looked at Boden - is it really that like Beauden? There are other names from shops that you don't really link - the first coming to mind is Dorothy, Marks, River etc etc. Or is there something else I am missing. Glad I have posted as if I am missing the point I need to know.

Any thoughts on Summer with Autumn or Sedona? Or any other brainwaves?

: ) Thank you

I don't like it personally but Bracken might go with your lot....?

SoupDragon · 22/08/2010 13:43

Both are pronounced Bow Den. it is the same as calling a child Dorothy-Perkins, Asda or Debenhams.

SoupDragon · 22/08/2010 13:44

Only poncier

SoupDragon · 22/08/2010 13:45

(actually it's more Bow dn rather than Den IYSWIM)

deemented · 22/08/2010 13:45

What about...

Jupiter
Meadow
Blossom
Aspen
Timber
Bracken
Storm

elvislives · 22/08/2010 13:47

You can't have Summer with Autumn. Besides which it is very common now. Sedona is a car. You do realise that everyone will pronounce Beauden (is it a name?) as Bew-den?

Rowan can be boy or girl and is a tree.

Saffron is a plant, and also ties in with your n scheme.

TBH I would pick a 3 syllable name for the last one. (Magenta?)

SoupDragon · 22/08/2010 13:47

Beaudine or Beauregard? Bay?

elvislives · 22/08/2010 13:49

Just seen dee's list and

Logan, Autumn, Ocean and Storm sounds good Grin

Sidge · 22/08/2010 13:49

Flaxen
Aspen
Briar
Cedar

deemented · 22/08/2010 13:50

I thought that too Grin

I'd go for Storm.

In fact, i'd have another baby just to use that name...

NorbertDentressangle · 22/08/2010 13:52

What about a name after a semi-precious stone/jewel

Topaz
Jasper
Amethyst
Opal
Garnet
Sapphire
Ruby

etc

NorbertDentressangle · 22/08/2010 14:01

Echo
Harmony
Juniper
Willow
Sky
Aurora
Leaf/Lief
Rain/Raine/Rayne
Serenity

(I'm channelling my inner hippy now Smile)

laurenamium · 22/08/2010 15:15

What about Rowan? And I do like Fern too

jellybeans · 22/08/2010 17:07

Logan, Autumn, Ocean and...

Saskia
Jasper
Tabitha
Rowan
Brooke
Micah
Caleb

CuppaTeaJanice · 22/08/2010 17:19

Still struggling to find a name? Cos you've posted this at least twice before under a different name (Mike1969 or something?).

Did you not like my idea of the four elements?

Logan - plant - earth
Autumn - season - air
Ocean - water

So a fire name?

Magma
Flame
Beacon
Umber
erm....the name of a volcano somewhere?
