Me and my partner like the Christan for a boy but do you think it sound really old fashioned? it reminds me off the lad in the movie 'stardust' i watch another movie its was a really old one, dont remembert what it was called though, and that name was init, its put me off abit what do you lot think?

Maisey for a girl, my partner really likes it but i am not to keen on it. Do you think it could grow on me? It reminds me from Maisey out of 'emmerdale' and she done my head in lol.

I have a niece named Maisy and know 2 other little girls as well as a couple of "Macy"'s so it's quite common I think, if that doesn't bother you though then I think it's a sweet name. I think I prefer Macey or Macy though.

Christian is a lovely name, not too old fashioned at all. Kristian is an alternative spelling - know a couple of boys named this, but unsure of using the K.

Ah, you mean Christian? I was about to post that "Chritan" is far too like Crettin!

shmoz · 02/03/2011 23:04

Christian is quite unusual, I was at school (many moons ago) with one
mamawho the spelling Krystian is used in Poland
I like Maisey, sweet name

icapturethecastle · 02/03/2011 23:14

You don't hear many Christian's about but I like it(i think it is actually Tristan in Stardust - love that movie). There does seem to be a lot of Maisys' about (is the ' right?) at the moment. A very cute name but I always think a little girls name.

ilovemybabie · 02/03/2011 23:16

i did mean Christan lol thats out the window now though haha.

I have a cousin called Christian and a 2nd cousin aaswell so dont really want that one.

i also like Megan for a girl :)

whatever you call your child, just make sure you spell it correctly. No excuse for Maisey and Chretin.

straightbat · 02/03/2011 23:19

Christan is a girls name, or at least Kristan is.

ilovemybabie · 02/03/2011 23:20

oh yea so it is Tristan haha duhh am stupid me lol

i look at Maisey like a little girls name.

me and partner just cant seem to agree on girls name's. He likes Raine i just cant seem to like it. we have both said we like Ruby but i dont like it enough to call my baby it.

hmmmmm i am giving up slowly haha

I like the name Ethan. Maisie is cute but can't see it as an adults name iykwim. Think it is very popular as I know 3 Maisies under 4

Bathsheba · 03/03/2011 09:35

I LOVE Christian as a name - it was top of my boys list for DC3 but DH said no...and she was a girl anyway...but still..!!!!!!!!

HopeCalvary · 03/03/2011 18:48

I saw the thread and thought of red dwarf lol

PepsiPopcorn · 03/03/2011 20:01

I like Christian and Maisie/Maisy. Also like Megan.

Richlinn · 03/03/2011 20:08

HopeCalvary I also thought it was Kryton from Red Dwarf...

CameronCook · 03/03/2011 20:19

Am lost as to which boys name we are discussing now is it Christian; Chritan or Tristan?

ilovemybabie · 03/03/2011 22:01

Its Christan lol.

Partner dont want Ethan because his mates baby has that name :(. Its a shame i really like it haha.

We have agreed Maisey is more for children. but he dont like Megan. He wants Raine but i am not to fussed on that one :(. He also like stella but that reminds me of the lager and that weird one from Eastender's (phill's ex) lol

PepsiPopcorn · 03/03/2011 22:06

If your partner likes Stella, how about Estelle or Aurora? And how about Elliot instead of Ethan?

ilovemybabie · 03/03/2011 22:18

I do like Elliot will have to mention that one to him :). Ihave never even heartd of Aurora if im honest. I said Estelle but he dont like it.
