Why is it SO hard? We just want a nice, slightly different without being stupid name that isn't already being used by 10 other children where we live...please give me some suggestions?

We need boy probably more than girl but all are welcome.

Ds is Jaxon, we'd like something solid sounding along the same line.

Nothing really that ends "ey", as our surname does and they all sound a bit daft.

Everything is welcome. I've looked through a few threads and seems to have an association with them all! I'm going to explode!!!

TIA

Axel, Flynn, Mack, Rudy, Denzel, Donovan.

We use fairly trad names but I really quite like Axel.

I'm confused. Why do you need boy probably more than girl?

Do you know the sex of your child, or not?

For girls I also love SCOUT (Suppose this could be for a boy too) and SAFFRON (which definitely couldn't!).

Twinkie1 · 07/04/2008 10:23

Jaxon?

Do you mean Jason or is his name really Jaxon?

cece · 07/04/2008 10:26

John - in 18 years of teaching I have only taught 2. A nice solid name and not common at all!

For girls I like

Lydia
Verity
Anna
Esme
Thea
Althea

nappyaddict · 07/04/2008 12:51

i don't think i could use scout for a boy. for me it's most definitely a girl's name.

TheHonEnid · 07/04/2008 12:53

jaxon

if so, then you are totally off my wavelength and will no doubt hate any names I may suggest

devonsmummy · 07/04/2008 12:54

Flynn
Fletcher
Asa
Fraser

nappyaddict · 07/04/2008 12:59
