Baby Boy: Leigho or Leaveiye ?

[kahronah]

Not sure what we're having yet but think if its a boy will be either Leigho or Leaveiye.
Which do like best?

Also on our list:
Shadoe
Frankelyn
Chayse
Loquelin
Daevyd

Will do a girls one when narrowed down. XXXOOO

@LittleLeaps, don’t do it, that would be pronounced Kseventlyn and you’d just feel silly...

Honestly though, you won’t come across as a mum who wanted their children to be individual. You will come across as an attention seeker who is poorly educated and can’t spell

tbf, that's evident in the OP's posts with great full instead of grateful, to instead of too and there instead of their.

I find it bad enough having to spell my surname (married name) about half a dozen bloody times on the phone to literally everyone, as it's a typical Irish name spelled differently - it's annoying - why do it if it sounds the same when spoken? It's just a complication both you (when teaching your child how to spell their name, and how to spell it's original spelling of it) and your child don't need.

Not my style but Loquelin?

Really sorry op but don't think your names will go down well with mumsnet crowd.

It doesn't look great:/

@FlamingoAndJohn - we, her teachers, downplayed the 'shark' syllable and referred to her as Shackia - but the damage was done!

OP - are your pregnancy hormones playing a part here do you think? I tried my utmost to persuade my DP to let me name my second born Benoit (a noble Gallic name pronounced Benwar.) He pointed out the likelihood of him being known throughout his very English schooling as Benoyt (not a good sound!) We called him Harry.

@Sunbird24 ah yes so it would 😂 that would be very silly indeed

Balonz for a boy, Slithery for a girl.

I am getting the Balonz reference but Slithery is going over my head! Can someone fill me in on what I missed please?

In the throes of pregnancy I desperately wanted my firstborn son to be called Xavier, pronounced the proper way (Haviyeh).

He's called Tom.

[quote kahronah]@EmpressLangClegInChair no. That's just hugs and kisses lol. [/quote]
Oh I see. I couldn’t decide if it was a name or a game of noughts & crosses.

I would use all of them in that order. Choosing only a couple might expose you child to ridicule in school.

I'd be tempted to go Lee/yo instead. Not enough slashes in names and it must be due a revival.

On a similar theme you could have Day/vide, Josh/uarrr or Peet/terr. All classic names with a twist.

How about good old Gary?

Uniquely spelled names means having to spell out their names constantly and having it mispronounced forever and never finding anything at the store personalized with their name.

@rosegoldwatcher ,my daughter was at nursery and primary school with a boy called Benoit! It didn't seem to cause any problems at that stage.(His Mum was French,not sure if that was relevant at all!)

@EKGEMS Etsy. Customise with their name. I don't want any of that rubbish land fill lol.

Anomali

Not my style OP...I find it 'wet' to be fair...but I'm sure you'd pull it off as it's SO popular on MN right now...
