Not keen on either, sorry.

i love Geno....by the way...no one younger than 33 has even heard of Dexy's midnight Runners song Geno so don't stress about that connection!!! i doubt anyone kids in 2013 will be singing a song from 1980.

i put up a post about my potential baby names and people stomped on it and i wasn't even asking for their opinion.
if you like them, then fine.

my husband'sname is really unusual and everyone remember him and he is really confident...it's all about standing out from the crowd!

Ok, my polite answer would be;

I think they may be unusual names for a reason...

Gino is fantastic. I love it. I have one in my extended family but spelt Gjino because his Dad is Albanian.

Auriel is nice too. I think you should ignore the wild ranters. They're the usual suspects when it comes to anything other than Jack and Finn and they're not to be taken seriously.

no and no unless they are ethnically linked to you and you are driven to use them beyond rational thought

I really like Geno.

Not sure about the other one but I dont hate it. It does look a little feminine though so could cause confusion.

If you like them - go for it. Why not call him both?

  1. Auriel - girly
  1. Geno - italian, dexy's m idnight runners

Geno, oh geno ginelli icecreamo....

Auriel is a girl's name.
Geno looks like a misspelling of Gino.

Please don't give a boy a girl's name - it'c cruel and unfair.

gegs73 · 17/07/2008 14:22

I like Geno, my Italian nephew is called it but spelt Gino. Hate Auriel sounds like a girls name.

Nancy66 · 17/07/2008 15:22

Both pretty awful.
Gene is better.

LuLuBai · 17/07/2008 19:03

Auriel is lovely. For a girl.

AbbeyA · 17/07/2008 19:58

You say you don't mind harsh-I think they are horrible!
