Hi There
We have 5 weeks left to go until EDD of baby No 3. We have names picked out for girls but cant decide/agree on boys names. We already have two boys who have slightly unusual but not wacky names and would like something that fits in well with them. So far we are thinking

Ashton
Levi
Riley
Mitchell

Can you please let me have your opinion on these names and also any other suggestions you may have, am starting to panic a bit now!

Middle name will be Peter and surname is one ssyllable beginning with F

I like Riley and think it goes really well with Peter.

I was thinking the other day i like Byron (not common i don't think), Dylan and Elliot

none of them wacky but not commonly heard I don't think (i could be wrong- i dont know many little boys!!)

BuntyPenfold · 20/09/2010 14:01

Riley and Mitchell are not unusual.
Ashton is ok
Levi I quite like, but someone pointed out the other day that this says Evil backwards.

coraltoes · 20/09/2010 14:02

it doesn't say evil backwards...that would be Live....

clpsmum · 20/09/2010 14:02

I love Dylan and would gladly have called all 3 children Dylan but unfortunately my DH has an irrational dislike of this name. Life would be so much easier if he would just let me decide LOL

No, sorry ,anagram of Evil. I don't know if this matters to you? Apparently does to some.

Love Dante.

Riley and Mitchell are quite unusual where we live so would be ok they are just unusual enough if you know what i mean???? Really like Levi and its a biblical name which i like don't mind its an anagram of vile or evil as many names are anagrams am just worried prople will associate it more with the jeans than anyting else! Levi is my DS1 favourite name.

Riley amd Mitchell and very very common amongst the "traveling" community near us. That would be enough to put me off and deffo not unusual :( Sorry

nooka · 20/09/2010 16:08

I agree about Riley and Mitchell, where I live they don't have great associations.

clpsmum · 20/09/2010 16:58

Maybe not Riley or Mitchell then! Arlo is nice really like that too

deemented · 20/09/2010 17:46

I have a Brennan and a Tate, and whilst they are likely to be the only ones in their class, their names don't make you go 'WTF'???

cece · 20/09/2010 17:48

Ashton and Riley - sorry but I thought they were girls names. I only know girls called htese two names anyway!

Levi - OK but has the jeans thing going on.

Mitchell - OK

How about

John - unusual these days and not whacky

Gregory

Rex
