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.

What about Aneurin? Good Welsh heritage and can be shortened to the easily pronounceable Nye.

Bryn...

Just to let the person that thinks that Lukas is just Lucas spelt wrongly or trying to be different, that it is actually the Scandinavian spelling, and it was the top name in both Sweden and Norway for 2009.

Keir is a great name. It means dark haired one. I have one and it suits him down the ground. No one thinks it is particularly weird and we generally get a great reaction to it. They usually say like short version of Keiran? So it feels familiar to them even though it is very unusual.

We do get a lot of people mispelling it as Kier (like the building firm) but we just say it is spelt EI like Keith. In South London some people do pronounce it with 2 syllables as KIA, but it doesnt bother us or him as he is definitely very boyish.

I also like Bryn which I think is in the same ilk. Unusal but simple to pronounce and steeped with Gaelic heritage.

Don't listen to the person who says this is the worst list ever. I think it is a great shortlist. Go for Keir or Bryn! Lucas is getting very common round these here parts.

I too am pregnant with twins - a girl and a boy - before you get pregnant - its all you dream about names for a girl ...names for a boy ...but I have made the mistake of asking around the family what they think of some of my choices - and no one agrees.... just to say dont like English names much - and I want Llewellyn as a second name for the boy ....what do you think of:

OLivier (My fav - everyone hates it)
Orlando
Raphael
Casper
REdmond (Red)
Christophe (Kit)

Louisa
Rosanna (Rosa)
Raphaella (Rae)
Haley - (too dated?)

I know an Osian who is Welsh, but with no 'H', I also know a Ieuan.

Lucas or Luca is nice, also know a Sidney!

only like bryn to be honest a friends little boy is called this and he is lovely. x

In Welsh you spell it Osian - but pronounce it Osh-un. I love it - the only one on the list I like actually!

Cyrus - Billy Ray. How about Osiris?
Tyrone - great name
Oshian (Oshi for short) - pretentious and horrible
Oren - made up
Keir - Nice. Prefer the spelling Kier.
Lukas - Nice name, very popular at the moment.
Amies - Can see what you're going for, but it just sounds like a plural of Amy.
Bryn - lovely name.

I think that Tyrone and Cyrus are lovely - great for a little boy, but definitely suitable for teenagers /grownups too.
