Even more boys names! Go on, you know you love it!

[SenoraPostrophe]

please help someone. I am completely stuck. I do not have a list for you to choose from, but i do have these criteria:

name must not be too poncey (so not jeremy)
ideally should be easy to pronounce in spanish (so not george)
pref should have a story of some kind. for that reason dh likes names connected to "marsh" (eg carson or fenton - but not those)
name must not be thomas

I don't ask for much do I? the only idea I have so far is Kier, but that should praps be a middle name. dh has a slightly girly name and is loath to inflict that on our child (is kier girly?)

Never heard of Kier, but it does sound girly (if I'm pronouncing it right), I went to school with a girl named Kia (Kee-ya) so it does sound effeminate to me.

Ciaran
Daniel
Kerry
Arran
Christy
Rhys

kier is a highly respectable name..people will think you are a staunch labour supporter!

staunch old labour supporter woudn't be a million miles wide of the mark, hence the choice, zippi. but yes, you do pronounce it like kia.

kerry and christy - too girly! (I know an adult male kerry - he's forever moaning about it). I could live with daniel though. can you think of a story for it??

DD1 would have been Jarred and DD2 would have been Rueben

i also like Thomas, Lucas, Elijah,

Ichabod.

Kerry and Christy are both Irish BOYS' names. There are loads of famous male Kerrys and Christys - golfers, footballers, authors... (Christy Brown, who wrote My Left Foot?)

Oh, well.

I like Kier (Irish isn't it?) Was on my list of possibles if DD had been another boy. Not effeminate at all (unlike Kerry and Christy :o)

Daniel - Daniel in the lion's den. Very well-known story.

i went out with a Keir once (means dark-skinned, its Celtic)

he was very manly

Kerr is similar

or Kerry, i like Kerry

Kyle? Kian?

Cameron

Callum

David sounds gorgeous in spanish dialect

what about Xaiver (?sp)

Kat - I considered xavier for ds, but my family couldn't pronounce it.

gs - I mean a "you're called x because ..." story. would I want to name someone after dan of the lions? (bearing in mind I am if anything anti-religious) if he's anything like ds he'd like it I spose.

and ds's middle name is cameron (shoulda saved it!)

we were going to have a xaiver but DH and i couldn't agree he said pronounced it with a Z and i would have said an H so it was scrapped but i still love the name!

i love Madonnas sons name - Rocco

how cool is that!

( you're right - Xavier/Javier is pronounced with a h sound in spanish. but also he's right - it's usually with a z in english!)

Z in french too i think

yes, probably. another reason I didn't choose it was because it's basque for "house owner". and that put me off for some reason.

kier not girly but very yuck!! - sorry it sounds like a made up name like that james cracknells kid - Croyde FGS is it a venerial disease or something!!!!

What about joachim - only because joachim phoenic is the sexiest man alive a Wackeeeeemmmmm!! could never be misconstrued as being girly!!!

now, you see joachim sounds made up to me. chroyde does sound like vd though. or (worse) like a pretty ugly town on the A23

Well it was made up his real name was LEAF FFS!!!

really? I thought leaf was the thrid brother. you learn something new every day.

Maybe he was twig or stamen or something else then????

(Thuoght they all had fucking stupid names anyway - sorry about all the swearing today have had a bit of a shit few days and feel like F'ing and blinding a bit!!!)

isn't it Keir?
