Still TTC No. 2 at the moment. Girls names are impossible, but for a boy I am liking:

Cyrus
Tyrone
Oshian (Oshi for short)
Oren
Keir
Lukas
Amies
Bryn

DP is stuggling with all except Bryn (which is probably my least favourite) - we need a Welsh element so it may become the middle name.

I like Oren, Keir and Lukas. Bryn's nice - but I mostly think of it as a girls name?

Nancy66 · 21/01/2009 11:58

Well, since you asked - I think they're all horrible. sorry!

PestoInaugurationMonster · 21/01/2009 12:00

I don't like any of 'em either, sorry.

Twims · 21/01/2009 12:00

Dont like any - kind of like Lukas - but only with a c not a k

nailpolish · 21/01/2009 12:00

i have a nephew Oren
although they spelt it Oran

i like Keir

belgo · 21/01/2009 12:00

Bryn is lovely. Lucas is nice. The rest are horrible.

belgo · 21/01/2009 12:01

Prefer Oran to Oren. Oren means 'ears' in dutch.

twoluvlykids · 21/01/2009 12:03

Tyrone is OK but only if shortened to Ty.

Lukas is OK

I don't like the rest, sorry

Lionstar · 21/01/2009 12:05

Keep going ladies, I need to be told just how delusional I am - DP will be very proud of you.

Does no-one like Cyrus? I have a hankering for Cyrus

AmIOdetteOrOdile · 21/01/2009 12:06

Depends on the surname tbh. Cyrus reminds me of Billy Ray, LuCas, Oshian sounds like the Irish Oisin which is a girl's name.

nailpolish · 21/01/2009 12:07

oran is irish and means pale, or light

cyrus reminds me of hannah montana, sorry
or billy rae cyrus (lol)

nailpolish · 21/01/2009 12:07

if you like Oshi, why not just call him that??

skyblu · 21/01/2009 12:11

I like Keir best...but it does sound like a 'teenage' shortening of Keiran.

Quite like Bryn, but I find the others a bit 'trying too hard'

Sorry

stleger · 21/01/2009 12:16

Oisin is a boy's name. Ciaran pronounced Kier-On is lovely when said correctly.Eoin pronounced as in Owen, or even spelled Owen?

WinkyWinkola · 21/01/2009 12:17

Not keen on any.

TotalChaos · 21/01/2009 12:18

I like Bryn and Lucas. I think Tyrone is awful.

Gorionine · 21/01/2009 12:20

Bryn is nice.

smurfgirl · 21/01/2009 12:20

My DH is called Bryn, he spent his life being teasted about it or called Brian, Ryan, Byron etc and changed it to his middle name when he came to uni.

He is from Yorkshire though so that may have been part of the issue.

I like Keir and Lucas.

downanddowner · 21/01/2009 12:20

Cyrus like Billy Ray Cyrus. Really??!!
Tyrone is ok.
Oshian (Oshi for short) is a no.
Oren pardon?
Keir nope.
Lukas is a great name!
Amies sounds like something belonging to a girl called Amie.
Bryn is ok if you are Welsh.

Fimbo · 21/01/2009 12:28

Yep agree Cyrus makes me want to sing "achy breaky heart"

Don't like any of the rest either

Lionstar · 21/01/2009 12:31

Oh dear, I don't think I can face up to the fact that DP might just be right on this one, even Bryn is winning out!

BTW Oshian is a Welsh variant of the Irish boys name. There are a number of spellings though. It's a name I've always liked since growing up in Wales.

I really like Tyrone, Cyrus and Bryn.

Don't mind Lukas (but VERY popular on Continent)

Don't like Oshian, Amies, Oren and Keir.

missymoo2411 · 21/01/2009 13:14

ForeverOptimistic · 21/01/2009 13:15

Oshian is lovely. I really don't like any of the others.

devientenigma · 21/01/2009 13:32
