Time decide on baby boy name

[K1mberlylauren]

Hello, baby boy is due anyday now,
Cassius?
Eliyas
Zakiyon
Matthias
Trey
Tareyon
Alex ??
Options please what you think is unusual but not silly

Lashiah

Opinions on these please thanks

Alex, Matthias or Cassius

I love Trey.

Lashiah is very feminine to my ears and Tareyon is a right mouthful so I'd take those two off if it were my decision.

Can you narrow it down to, say, 3 or 4 then decide when you see his face?

Matthias is pretty damn nice plus it travels well. Idk if he'll study or work abroad ofc but it's nice to have a name that has an international vibe.

Cassius? No ❌
Eliyas yes nice name and unique✔️
Zakiyon not sure❔
Matthias can be shortened to Matti good name✔️
Trey I associate this with 'f' boys❌
Tareyon never heard this but love if you don't use it I might add it to my list ✔️
Alex ?? Strong name❔

Eliyas , Matthias and Alex. All yes. Matthias is my fave I think.

Cassius- just don’t like it.
Trey- agree with PP who said it’s like a ‘f’ boy name.
Tareyon -just looks like it should sound like tarragon to me?

My top three would be Matthias, Alex, and Eliyas (although I’d spell it Elias)

I don’t know how to pronounce Zakiyon or Tareyon

Matthias is gorgeous.

The Italian version, Mattheo, was on my list of potential names for DS.

I like Cassius, Matthias, Alex (although I prefer Alexander on the birth certificate) and Elias (spelt this way).

Are you pronouncing Matthias Math-EYE-uz or Matt-TAY-uz? I like both options.

I love Cassius. I knew one when I was growing up in the 80s. He was very cool and handsome!

These names are unusual to my eyes so unsure how to pronounce, (could this be an issue for your child as he goes thru school and into adult life, always correcting spelling and pronunciation due to people like me), so will only comment on ones more familiar with:
Cassius (always reminds me of Mohammad Ali)
Alex (not terribly keen as affected by Alex's I know!)
Matthias (I like it, and he can always shorten to Matt or Mattie if he hates it)
Obv you choose what you like for your lovely baby.

I like Cassius and Matthias best.

Alex (and Alexander/Xander) is lovely, but I don't think it goes well with Amayah.

I think Matthias is my favourite, sounds like you and DH have found a good compromise name, it has a nice international feel, it's a name most people will have heard of for your DH, whilst still being unusual like you wanted.

Amayah and Matthias - lovely
Amayah and Cassius - also lovely

Yeh I did think that about lashiah then changed it to lashai.

That’s what I’m doing atm to 4 so when he comes we will decide much easier isn’t it.

I love Matthias glad you agree I no there’s a few ways of spelling so I will look at that to x

@Aclh13

@Vanadis

Ta-reyon

@Honeybee85

@finallychangedmyusername
Yes it would be Alexander on the birth certificate I don’t really like shortening names but I would this name.

Mathias -first way you have spelt

@SallyWD
Thanks this is one I absolutely love Aswel

@VerityB1
Yeh but then most unusual names you will have to spell and correct people, I’m always correcting doctors surgery ect ect, but then it’s nice to have a different name

@FeedMeSantiago
Thanks I agree Aswel

@Aclh13
My partner actully told me he likes Tareyon it’s very unusual

But also In love with a few more now lol. He’s due in a few days so will decide when I see his little face x

Are you pronouncing Matthias Math-EYE-uz or Matt-TAY-uz?

Neither. Matthias is pronounced Matt EE as.

Thanks for your opinions means a lot xx
