pmsl southeastastra

boy! we were going to use it regardless - i love the name for either

so do i

i dont like either the name i like is jayden

I think it would sound simply desperate ,as if you wanted to come across as both interesting and posh.

Not sure, it sounds a little pretentious although I can see it becoming more popular and once used by the masses it might sound a bit common.

the thing with names if that once you get to know and like the person you start to like the name too, so, even though ATM Orlando makes me think of that place in Florida, I'm sure that if I knew and liked an actual Orlando then the name would take on a different significance. I actually do like the name itself.

jayden nicer see if you can convince him,lol.

I like it in theory but it does kind of presuppose a slightly artistic otherwordliness. I mean, you can't imagine an Orlando ever playing rugby. Or being shouted at to get a round in in the pub.

On the whole I'd prefer something more versatile and less, well, poncey.

he likes jayden too but iv got months to go anyway lol

Somethings only belong in Shakespeare

...but I think Jayden might be too far in the other direction.

First thing I thought of was Disneyland TBH.

Jayden is a bit Argos though isn't it?
