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.

we have an "ll" although according to the babyname police that means they'll never let us in to england, or something

We don't live in or near Wales or Ireland and the little Oisin we know doesn't seem to be struggling with his name. He's 7. pronounced OSH-in. Stress on the first syllable. Not difficult once you've heard it once.

I like a lot of the other names on the OP's list too though.

The trouble with names is that everyone can find a bad/good connotation with every name.

I think you and DP should just go with whatever name you both like, you have to live with it after all. Even after you have registered baby you have time to go and change it if you decide you can't live with it - I know 2 different people who did that.

Personally I'm afraid I don't like any of them but then I know dogs called Tyrone and Cyrus and Bryn makes me think of chap in Gavin & Stacey! But then I like names like Emrys, Gethin, Gwillum and Felix - it takes all sorts!

You just go for it..!!

Bryn is nice.

Lucas (Lukas) is nice.

If you want welsh how about Huw? Ilove that.

Huwie is cute when little.

Go for Oisin!

Or Cyrus or Keir or Lukas.

I would have been slated for my dds' names if I'd posted them on musment beforehand. But if you just call the child a name then everyone will be much politer about it, after the act.

ah but then she'd get us lot on her back about how he's pronouncing huw (in welsh the u sounds like an i )

lol can't win!

I know a welsh Huw and he and all his welsh family and mates call him Huw same as Hugh (hYou) never met anyone who said it differnt.

well, there's welsh and there's welsh-speaking welsh i grew up in n wales where it was about 30% welsh speaking so everyone pronounced welsh names the welsh way.

Ah OK, they seem very welsh to me but not welsh speaking. At least the adults aren't, all the kids seem to speak weslh these days though.

Bryn and Kier are nice.

Tyrone sounds like a pitbulll terriers name.

Lucas is okay.

Hate the rest.

Millenniumfalcon, I'd pronounce Huw your way too (I grew up in N Wales). Sadly it's not a name I'm that keen on, in fact I don't like most Welsh boys names. And all the Welsh girls names I like don't pronounce well in English (the ones that do are already overwhelmingly popular). You just can't win!

My fave is Lucas but only with a c not k. Sorry a pet hate of mine is unusual spellings, makes me think parents are a bit dim if they can't spell name correctly.

Tyrone reminds me of that character in coronation street - shame when soaps use a nice name and give to either a simple or not nice character.

I do feel for you as i am trying to think of name for my soon to be dd. When you're not pregnant you can think of lots of great names but when it comes down to actually naming a real person its a bit more tricky.

Lukas is just the foreign spelling, though. I don't see anything wrong with that.

this thread has inspired a namechange

So glad somebody got a name out of this!

Osian as a Welsh name is lovely, but you have to spell it correctly!

mileniwmffalcon love it!

cyrus...NO...silas is better....

i really am not keen on the rest either. How about Roscoe?

Oran is a city in northern Algeria.
I always thought the name was spelled Orrin.

Without a shadow of a doubt that is the worst list of boys names I have ever seen.

So truly, terribly bad.

The best is Bryn but who could call their child that after Rob Brydon in 'Gavin and Stacey'?. Yes as a middle name but you need to come up with summat else for the first name unless you live in a croft in the middle of nowhere.

If its a welsh or welsh spelt name your looking for, what about these -

Dewey
Dewi
Daryn
Owain
Owein
Dilan
Dylan
Dyllan
Dyllon
Ioan
Reece
Kai
Bevan
Beven
Bevin
Brynn
Brys
Cai
Cain

We wanted a welsh name (both me and Dp are welsh) for our 4th which is due in sept but have decided on an irish name instead Ryley
Still cant agree on a girls name

I actually quite like most of them! Unusual but not silly.

I really like Keir and Lukas, Bryn is nice. I know someone with a little boy called Orin, and I think that's lovely.

Not keen on Cyrus, never heard of Amies before, and Tyrone sounds like a pit bull to me. Undecided about Oshian - I'm not a big fan of the name Oisin either.

I agree with Leannabanana that Silas is much nicer than Cyrus.

I am struggling with all apart from Keir

I like Kier and Lukas but spelt Lucas (otherwise he will spell his entire life spelling out his name)
