Out-there boys' names

[ErrantBakedBean]

I don't think I'm brave enough. But DH and I are tackling lists tonight and I thought I'd get your thoughts on my weirder choices first in case I really should drop them. They're all real, just to pre-empt questioners and the others on my list are much more 'normal'...

Raglan
Morey
Aubin

I love Aubin!

No idea how I would pronounce Morey?

I love Raglan for a spaniel, but I'm not sure about a child!

Aubin could work. How is Morey pronounced? Is it Morri, or more-y? Or something else?!

I'd pronounce it 'more ee' with emphasis on more but interested to hear how others would say it.

Also I thought people would hate Aubin, so thank you

Aubin is nice
Raglan is awful
Morey is not my taste, how about Murray instead?

Morey isn't to my taste, but I've heard worse! Would you consider Torin?

OP, there are far nicer out-there names. Okay, they may be 'real' names as you say but it seems like you've just thrown some letters together in order to be out-there.

Raglan- wtf? Like Rylan? It sounds like another word for 'rascal'.
Morey- weird. Wouldn't it be better as Morley?
Aubin- the best of the three but still feels like some random letters grouped together.

Aubin is quite nice.... is it likely baby will be fair haired?
Raglan... I would only think of Raglan sleeves, it doesn't sound particularly nice as a name.
Morey i don't like at all- sorry!

Raglan like a sleeve??

Raglan is a sleeve.
Morey would be mispronounced his whole life.
Aubin is OK but if I’m honest it makes me think of awful and bin. I may be alone on this, however..

A friend of mine recently used Cosmo for his boys middle name.

Wish I’d thought of it. Cosmo is an amazing name!

Aubin is OK (though I prefer Aubrey). Raglan is a sleeve and is a bit ridiculous for a name choice imo.

I love Torin as a PP suggested. Was on my list but I had a DD and DH vetoed it anyway!

I like Cosmo an awful lot. It was on our list!

Aubin is the best of those OP.

Raglan = sleeve
Morey = moray eel (I know, different spelling, but he'll be correcting people his whole life!)
Aubin = how would you pronounce it? Of the three it is better than the other two but again he'll be forever correcting spelling/pronunciation.

Raglan is a village in Monmouthshire.

I know of a little boy Called Cosmo Otis Jones. If the kid isn't a jazz singer by the time he's 7 I'll be most disappointed

I like Morey. I'd pronounce it like Cory.

Torin always makes me think of Torrid. But otherwise I do like the Cory/Rory sound, as lobster says - that's how I'd pronounce it. Same with Aubin - 'or bin'.

Also LastNights yes baby will almost certainly be fair.

What about Aldrin?

Traditional English name but there's also Buzz Aldrin.
I'll go in about forever on here until someone uses it .

Ha! Yes I do like Aldrin but worry it's just too associated with Buzz... Not a bad association by any means but somewhat inescapable. Also what shortening?

Raglan makes me think of a type of cloth, for some reason. No idea if it is.

Morey - I would wonder if this was a version of Moray and wouldn't be sure how to pronounce it (Mor-ee? Murry?)

Aubin - I like it! Makes me think of names like Auberon or Aubrey.

Really like Aubin, not heard it before

Raglan is awful. He'd surely be Rag for short. How many 'on the rag' jokes would he have to listen to?
