Jensen beau?

[Snowdropfairy]

What do you think of this name for a boy:

Jensen Beau Goodwin

Husband. He likes American Ick Hockey and he wants this child to have a ice hockey, American, rock star name.

I want a earthy/hippy name that is known and the child will not get picked about.

Conway Francis works - ok it's is v v unusual, but why not. Avoid Troy (90s Jason), Bryn is good but I would really really avoid Chayton and Clayton (too American teen cult series).

Hope this helps - (passes more chocs)

Yay! Bryn Francis! that'll do!

or Francis Bryn?

btw I've got a Francis, and he's only Francis in exams or on the register. In RL, he's Frank. He loathes Francis

Jensen and Beau both equally atrocious, sorry.

All of your choices sound like Sunset Beach characters, to be honest.

Aaron George is lovely. Can't you find another normal name like that?

If you want another Norwegian name like Jen(sen) How about Espen?

Do you mean Francis when you wrote Franics?

Although Beau wouldn't be my name of choice I think with middle names you can go a bit mad and choose something off the wall - (although this works especially well with old family names).

Kurt? - is an American Rock star name. (Just saying).

Are you American and living in a trailer park? If not your dh has no excuse.

Aaron and Bryn?

Not so keen on Bryn

Right my new Baby Naming Helpline:

If the name looks appropriate in this sentence, it is not good.

[Chayton] reached out and pulled [Araminta] towards him. She tried to resist but the pull of attraction was too strong. His cobalt-blue eyes mesmerised her, she was caught in his snare. Her breasts heaving, she murmured "I should not... If Mama were to find out..." but it was no use. [Chayton]'s strong arms were pulling her closer, closer. He bent his head to take her lips...

The thing is, it's the person who makes a name rock - isn't it? I think you are right to choose something a bit unusual (not really really weird) and then let the boy make his own mark (IYSWIM). Your DH needs to take stock a bit of all the reactions you'll have to deal with - and the hastle your son might get....

Agree with SpringHeeledJack's suggestions - would you be happy with either of those. Chayton and Clayton are a big no-no, IMO. I feel for you if naming the baby has become a battleground with your dh. He does need to think that the child has to grow up with his name, especially if he has a brother with a 'normal' name. Best of luck!!

Bryn looks like mispelled Bryan to me.

Print out this thread for your DH. He may like US ice hockey style names, but your son is going to live in UK. The name is for your son, not for him.

He can get a dog and call it Chayton Beau.

Not keen on Jensen - are you from Scandinavia? Beau is a bit "little beau peep" sounding for me. I generally think that boys are best served by "normal" names (like Aaron and George) rather than exciting ones. Your reserve names are rather odd - Bryn is ok if you are Welsh, Maui if you are Hawaiian (but probably still a bit odd). Are these really the names you are thinking of or are they your DP's suggestion? They just seem out of character for someone who named their first child Aaron George.

No, don't leave it there, MmeLindt!

Actually OP you could be ahead of the game here. They are making a new series of Dallas and all of your choices would fit perfectly!

Sorry i'm dyslexic yes i meant the boys spelling of the name. Its DH grandmothers name and she is 93 so we thout it would be nice to carry the name on.

If its a girl we like the following:

Georgia Franics
Evelyn Franics
Elena Isodora
Bridget Franics

But i think the baby will be a boy!

If he picks a really stupid name he will be living in a trailer park

Adam Jensen? Aaron and Adam? (Jensen Adam?)

I like Jens and Jensen >

and Espen....
and Carsten
and Soren

Oh dear... I need another baby ...

But not Beau. Never Beau.

Or you could name your son something normal like James Edward and your dh could change his own name to something silly by deedpoll. Problem solved.

Sorry - didn't see that they are your DH's selection. If you went with them then you would be a hockey mom, which is only one step away from lipstick on a pig.

Your girls names are lovely

I think that Francis is the boy's spelling and Frances is the girl's.

What's with this Franics name?

Fantastic girls names! Yay! Does your DH pick the boys and you the girls? Why are they soo different??

Captain I'm with you - except Carsten (sounds like thrush meds)

Sorry just seen your other post. Francis/Frances is a lovely normal name.
