Which boys name do you like

[babynamer]

Kai
Harley
Lucas
Kaydon
middle name James

One of my friends said one of her friends was choosing between Vincent and Lucas for her DS - this was a couple of years ago.

I thought it wasn't much of a choice really - clearly Lucas was a nicer name.

Till she said "I hope they go for Vincent. Lucas rhymes with mucus".

LOL at Peachy's "spermally retentive" comment!

I like Lucas, except I always think of George Lucas.
I like Kai
Not keen on the others
I like Rowan, Gethin and Zack
Good luck with it all!

Boys' names can be tricky can't they.

I think the important thing to do is pick something that is easy to spell and say, and immediately obv whether it's a boy or a girl.

IMHO James and Stanley both fit this. Also Lucas. Not so sure about Kai and Kaydon.

There's a boy I know of called Keal Pass. Sorry if mum is a MN-er but it just doesn't sound like a name!

Sorry btw debbsy I know y're not thinking of Stanley.

Heath btw - I know one but had never come across it before or since. Is it after anyone? (not Heathcliff I presume lol)

I've met a heath. Always think of Shakespeare's blasted heath or Ted Heath

and don't forget debs little J was born on thrus at 2.37am and it was late fri afternoon before we picked a name, I kept asking him what he wanted! lol. I like oliver as well but then you would have OJO which wouldn't suit really.

girls names are sooooooo much easier I found! lol.

defo munz

From that list I like James. Not so sure about the others, as not my taste really. I guess Lucas is the better of them all IMO.

Love your children's names Clary

I like stanley (how did we get on to Stanley?) but like Harold its a family name for us, quite a few Stan Godfreys about!. Actually Godfrey is an OK name, was my maiden name and it is DS1's middle name. This meant, as he was born before I married, his hospital records read @Samuel Godfrey Godfrey' LOL! Good job Dh didn't ditvh me before the wedding I guess!

Not so keen on Harold actually but we did like harry and it made FIL happy ( and my dad as his father was also a Harold). DS3 has the middle name griffith after my other Grandad- hard work this family

The other MALE family name we have is Jess. Yuck.

DS3 was almost a darwin but decided against it, knowing what I know about my life (ie that I spend all my Uni essays blatherieng on about evolution LOL), I would have used it. Also like Dharma though, from Uni. Sure local highly religious schools would have a fit and frankly that's good reason enough LOL!

Like james (back to OP)- James Peach. erm, no.

last nite we decided if we have a boy he will be called Kaydon middle name Lewis.

i like that Vicky its unusual and its not a made up name either ill check the meaning now.

Hula

(I like yr DD's names too)

Peachy lol at samuel godrey godfrey!

watch out for lewis if looking for unusual name, 3 Lewises in DS1's Beaver group (about 25 boys) also 3 Edwards which I always thought was less common but obv not hereabouts.

it means friend or companion Vicky

oh and we also like Kyle and Reiss

James is nice but very popular - 6 James's and a Jamie in ds's year of 60 kids (and that's mixed, not all boys).

Ditto Lucas (and variations) - a Luke, a Lucas and a Luca in ds's year (as well as a Lewis and a Louis).

Don't like the others, sorry.

I like John, and there aren't enough of them around, either. It's a nice old name that seems to have fallen by the wayside - please, a couple of you having boys, call them John and save the name! I prob. won't be able to use it, though, since it doesn't work in Czech (where we live).

Lunar james is a definate as a middle name its after my grandad.

lol vesela - we gave ds1 the middle name John, partly for that reason!

Out of that list, I like James, but not keen on the meaning of James, so wouldn't use it myself. Don't like the others I'm afraid - Lucas does remind me of George Lucas, and both it and James are very popular atm.

If you're looking for a more unusual name, you can check a name's popularity on the Bounty website. I like names like Solomon, Isaac, Rowan, Adam, Alastair, or if you want to be a bit more unusual, Micah - the Old Testament is a great source of names that are unusual, but sound like 'names' iyswim (I do think Kaydon sounds a bit made up). And if you can't decide, have a look at the meanings. We considered the meanings almost as much as the name!

My dp wants to call our unborn Willie if its a boy. Hes Scottish. Its nice and traditional. But I actually crack up every time I imagine calling my child Willie. Especially if hes ginger like his dad. But crack up in a nice way.

Reiss?

That sounds made up.

Kyle's okay.

LOL RedKen - Groundsman Willie. Oh Dear. Hope you win your DH round to something else!

I think its too late JL. Hes really taken with it and says we can shorten it to Will in polite circles. Part of me loves it. Theres quite a popular kids book in Scotland (and maybe England) called Our Willie pronounced Ooor Wullie and he loved it as a child. Then again I liked Get Along Gang and Transformers. Hmmm.
