Leif for a boy?? means 'beloved'

[minkersmum]

trying to find a boys name that me and dp both like, really struggling.

He likes Euan and Ivan

I like Flynn and Archie

Whilst i 'don't mind' his names he hates my suggestions.

Girls names not a problem, why are boys names so much harder.

So i found Leif, quite like it but thinking is it manly enough?? Dp likes it (tonight).

Opinions please.

Leif Garrett

is all it makes me think of

minkers you must be under 38.

Leif Garratt was my first crush. I say first, I mean second, after Donny Osmond. I say second, I mean third, after Jimmy Osmond.

you may be too young to remember Leif Garrett (hearthrob!)

Do you think, at your age, it is right?

Who is Leif Garrett??

Leif is dutch for kind / nice

Leif Garrett in his sweatband, ahhh, the memories.

I know an RL guy called Leif; everyone pronounces it 'Life'.

Yes i am under 38!! looked at link tho and mmm our taste in heart throbs very different!! Thought it was a women!!!
So is it a shite name or ok??

PS I like the name!

I was just going to say Leif Garret as well. Showing our age

It makes me think of 10th-century Viking explorer Leif Eiriksson. And it doesn't get much cooler than that...

dont know who leif garrett is.but hey Euan is a winner

sweet jeezum

onebatmother [sigh]

I used to have his poster on my wall

awwww euro-priddy boy type?look like he would spend too much time preening for my liking

then you and I, cece, are both lesbians.

I have a friend called Leaf ( his name is spelt like that by the way - hippy parents maybe?)

I really like it as a name actually. Although he'll probably spend his whole life spelling it out for people and being called Lee!

Yes it's cool.
Also thought of Leif Erikson

Thanks for responses! Are all the brutal people sleeping?? lol!!

Bet dp changes his mind in the morn!!

I dated a boy named Leif when I was in high school I like it.

How do you intend to pronounce it? I've heard it like LEAF or LIFE, but his was pronounced LAYFE

It's nice and a bit different. I like Ivan too, but prefer Ivo.

I like Leif
