Lyric or Soren

[arizonagirl]

Ok, here goes again. Beauden and Arizona have gone down badly. Indigo not great either.

So how about Lyric or Soren for a boy? As you can tell, I am not going to suggest James or Thomas just yet.

Thoughts appreciated as you are all helping me rule out names and others in.

Don't mind the criticism (or the more positive posts). All part of the process.

Lyric is not a boys name, I like Soren.

Still liking Lyric though. Like Soren but have just been reading some other reviews - a couple of people have pointed out that it starts with 'sore' which puts them off. Others have said they don't like the harsh meaning of the name 'Strict and stern'. There also seems to be a debate about how to pronounce it. So perhaps it isn't such a great idea - nice sounding name though. Although nothing to do with nature.

soren lorenson

sorry, couldn't resist

i like lyric

Soren -- I love it. I like Scandinavian names though. The meaning wouldn't bother me.

Lyric I would really assume to be a girl.

Yes Soren Lorenson for me too! Much better than Lyric though.

Soren. A million times better than the other options, even with the Soren Lorenson connection.

Oh dear...Soren is Ok but Lyric? No, no, no...please no. So it was you with those other ones in active conversations then?!

Indigo is better than the others at least - I'm presuming you're in America?

How about Sennen.

Or Seren.

I think both are names...not quite sure.

I don't like Lyric and I would also say that it is overwhelmingly female.

Soren is better but I think depends heavily on your surname

Soren is lovely

That isn't a baby name book you're browsing, it's a dictionary.

Come now. I am a lentil-weaving hippy, but you're just being silly.

Lyra's a bit like Lyric. NOT lyre though, that's another one of your dictionary words.

Soren is fine.

I love Soren. I know a gorgeous Swedish one .

Definitely prefer Soren.

I have to say I admire your tenacity and perservence AND the fact that you haven't got all huffy. Good luck

You are nuts. What's wrong with Daniel? Imagine a middle-aged man with these names you are suggesting.

I rather like Soren. When I glanced at flightattendant's suggestion of Sennen I thought she was suggesting Semen...

That isn't a baby name book you're browsing, it's a dictionary.

Nothing more to add to that, sums up what I feel beautifully.

Not loving either Lyric or Soren but when you mention Indigo... I had a friend called Inigo (no d) which I always thought was a great name

I love Soren and it was on my list last time, but I was overruled! DH thought it sounded too much like a soya margarine .

Don't care what any one else says- it's nice to be different.

I like Søren/Sören/Soeren, but since arizonagirl mentioned reviews disliking he sound of it, just in case - you do know that the authentic pronunciation of the first syllable isn't "sore", right? It rhymes with French "coeur", rather than English "core"...

I'm liking Inigo too.

Just re-read and seen that arizonagirl is the OP and already mentioned pronunciation... I blame the newborn (and rather conventionally named) currently BFing while I browse.
I suppose you could pronounce it however you like, but I'd expect a fair proportion of people to assume you'd use the Danish/Swedish pronunciation or something like it - first syllable rhyming with "sir", as a slight anglicisation maybe.

"You are nuts. What's wrong with Daniel? Imagine a middle-aged man with these names you are suggesting."

Why would she be nuts for preferring Soren over Daniel? I personally love Soren and know a lovely 39 year old Soren. I find Soren much nicer and more interesting than Daniel (which I find very dull indeed).

And wouldn't life be dull if all men were all called Daniel, Jack or Tom?

Soren is nice,unusual without being bizarre,but you really can't call a boy Lyric. You seem set on the idea of getting the poor child teased horrendously about his name.

Soren, definitely. ds3 was nearly Soren

Soren is very nice. Your best suggestion so far!
