Baby names!

[AvaD]

Hello, i'm expecting my first baby, a boy, in MAy. Just wondering peoples thoughts on the names Harley Jack, Jaxon, Braden or Zac?

Erin x, my daughter is called Erin different than the norm when she was born, 15 now, still not may of you about, she of course doesn't like her name now, but she is 15!
Didn't have too many names planned, Ciarra was another, only Theo for a boy.

welsh, how is it pronounced?

Just before I had Little Tiggs I wanted to call him Elijah, Noah or Lucien. My family didn't like any of those names so I called him Lukas (with a K). Everyone was happy with that apart from my dad!

Well I named my son a boring, traditional Daniel, but he's now Dan, which suits him perfectly.
My friend called her son Neo. Not so different that they'll suffer but kind of "out there" at the same time.

I know a local woman who has twin boys called Merlin and Raven. Poor kids.

Mrs o, it's pronounced Oshun, that's why I spelled it that way, but the spelling is Osian............

As in ocean? ^^

I was supposed to be called Kirsty but my mum changed at the last minute :-)

She will learn to love it Mass... I'm 21 now and only really started to like it a few years ago. It really is a nice name :-)

I like traditional names for boys and a bit more leeway for girls. Jack is fine, Zach is OK. But that is only my opinion.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I knew a mortified Merlin too Mrs O. He used his middle name.

Thanks, but sorry I don't like it. I can imagine a fiery Welsh preacher giving a sermon and saying
O Shun the devil and all temptations

no one can really tell you or help you name your baby - but congratulations by the way! why not wait until you meet the little fella - i know people who've had a name planned for baby and then when baby arrives, it just doesn't suit....

[erin-x]

I have a second cousin called Neo, Mojo.

I love your name btw... Powerpuff Girls fan by any chance? Lol!

If you want Jaxon, spell it properly - Jackson - Zac's short for something else. I do know someone called Harley.

Nini74, if people names their babies on how they look, half of all newborns would be called Winston Churchill and the other half would be called Screaming Red Object

[welshlibranr]

Oh Mrs o, not like that at all, I know a few Osians, and none of them are like that!.........they are all lovely, lively and intelligent boys!............

We set a bad precedent on boy #1 as we gave him two names plus the 'family' middle name as his third name so we had to keep up the tradition with the others (plus we had to think of a girl 'family' name) - it ended up with a lot of names. I rejected himself's idea of Harmoni though, what was he thinking?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Nah Erin. I had to have the link piinted out to me by someone at work who used to squint her eyes, go all Japanesy on me and say Mojo-jo-jo whenever she saw me. My name (kinda) is Mojo :)

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Osian tends to get shortened to Ossy or Ozzy. Fancy that do ya? ;)
For reference, see the blummin brilliant film, Into the West.

It is a nice name Erinx and so is she, a proper nice girl, everything I would ever have wished for. She's just being a teenager, i'm sure she likes being just a little bit different. There are 3 Bethany's and 2 Laura's in her form, only 1 Erin in the school of 400.
