OK, I've had so much fun on your name threads, please come and slate my delusional choices

[Lionstar]

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.

Bryn and Keir are the only two I like. Keir is probably my preference, a good strong Gaelic name.

The others either remind me of soap characters or American singers with bad haircuts, or are just a bit wanky. Sorry

I like Cyrus. I'm thinking Cyrus the Great rather than Billy Ray.

Not keen on any of the others. Sorry.

Cyrus is nice!
Lukas ok.

I really kind of love the name Bryn. Understated but strong name.

Keir is a close second.

Oshian/Oren sound like weird variants of the Irish name Oisin (Osh-sheen).

Lukas & Amies - ok.

Cyrus & Tyrone - awful, middle aged red neck type of names.

I hate them all, orry!

Agree with Sesi. There is a (fabulous) Irish boy' name Oisini (pronounced either Osh-een or Oh-sheen). Is Oshian derived from that?

sorry, even

Oisin

FFS

Bryn is a boys name!

Bryn or Lucas. Not Lukas.

How would you pronounce Oshian, Amies and Oren, please?

They look nice written down, but if people have to ask how to say them, you will be back on here in a year's time with a thread : AIBU to expect people to be able to say my baby's name?!!

are you German too (wanting Lukas rather than Lucas)?

I think Bryn is nice. My Dad's a Brynmor (the bigger the better!). There are lots of nice names for Welsh boys, tho I think less so for girls.

Cyrus - billy ray
Tyrone cultural?
Oshian (Oshi for short) - is this a cultural thing i am missing?

Oren - cultural?
Keir hardy - first labour leader - nowt wrong with that

Lukas - with a 'c' or else its wrong and you look either desperate for attention or dyslexic or ill educated

Amies - what now? is this cultural

Bryn - nowt wrong with bryn

its all very try hard

I have heard of two Orrins recently, so that is growing on me. Never heard of Oren.
I know a very lovely Bryn.
Kier is great, and less 'popular' than Kieran.

Don't really like the others, sorry.

oh Lukas is lovely!

I like Kier as in Hardy (but then my bro is named after Clement Atlee!), others not so much, poss Lukas.

Cyrus really makes me think of Billy Ray sorry...

Cyrus - trying far too hard to be different and he just might not be 'cool' enough to pull it off!

Tyrone - NO

Oshian (Oshi for short)- NO

Oren - NO

Keir- NO

Lukas - OK if it is spelt properly ie Lucas. There is a LOUKAS in my school and I just know it is because his parents couldnt spell properly!

Amies- NO

Bryn - Uncle Bryn from Gavin and Stacey played by Rob Brydon. Not keen really.

None of these are my choice either but what about

Keiran
Levi
Malachi
Logan
Kyle
Kai
Owen

I did ask - and now am judged, I'm trying too hard! What about if I just like the sound of those names though?

Not quite sure what you mean by cultural Custardo - mostly they are names I just like. Oshian and Bryn (and maybe Oren) have a Welsh background which is kind of cultural for me.

LightShines, I would pronounce Oshian as O-shan (with a long o sound as in orange). Amies is A-mez and Oren as O-ren (with the same long o sound as before)

I like Bryn, Cyrus and Lukas. Lukas is the german/scandinavian version though. Would the english spelling of Lucas not be better?

Again spell it properly - It is pronounced Osh-een and spelt Oisin.

Oren means pine tree in Hebrew.

Keir doesn't sound finished to me iyswim.

Never heard of Amies sorry.

Don't like Tyrone at all. Sounds a bit yobbish to me (sorry to anyone who has a child called this)

I like Oren and Lucas spelt with a c.

I think that Cyrus is ok and I really dislike Tyrone.

Man you gotta have a girl. Sorry

Are those really all names?

It looks like a list of words you can make from one long one. We had to do that with Nebuchadnezzzar one time.

I got 44 words but they had run out of prizes

How about Amos, Amie, Amis or Amiel? There's Ames but it is pronounced like James without the J.

Sorry for being facetiosus before. If I think about it I actually rather like some of them.

Oshian and Oren sound much nicer than they look.

Lukas is quite nice as well.

Only really like Oshian but I think the usual Welsh spelling is Osian.

Oren - no - I'm afraid that oren is Welsh for orange.

Bryn is OK but a bit 'middle-aged-man-ish' (never heard it used for a girl though!) What about Gwyn or Gwyndaf (pr. Gwyndav) - you could then have Gwyn or Daf (Dav) as a petname?

yep welsh name is spelled osian and prn with a short "o" osh-ann.

owain is nice (oh-wine)
