Ain't got a clue about boys really. I like the name Luke a lot, and I like the name Dylan and Jack, but every little boy is either called Dylan or Jack these days.
My brother wants to call his kids Clinton, Lennox, Junior. My Mum was horrified when he told us, she's hoping he's gonna have girls.
i have a housemate called "padraic" and its pronounced "porrick"
so tempting to call him porridge
That was what I used to want to call my son, well back when I was about eight and loved the old Tir na n-Og story. I suppose you can't go wrong with the old poet/warrior namesake :thumb:
I think Orlaith, Saoirse and Meabh are gorgeous Irish girls names, while I'm on the topic. If I were to be traditional I'd probably go for Brigid and Máiréad.
Too many lovely names.
Boy: Scott
i like all your names. i may steal some.
with the exception of oliver, as in my experience, they all grow up to be complete tossers. :yes:
oh, and on the subject of names, i have been told by a few teacher associates that people should avoid calling their sons luke or liam as they almost always end up as little bastards. one went so far as to say that when she looks as a register of her new class, she can usually tell just by the name which will be naughty and which will be angels. jessicas are buggers too, apparently.
unusually spelt names :yuck:
what's the point? you're only going to give your kid so much hassle having to correct everyone who mispells their name (i.e. spelling their name properly).
either that or people assume you're an idiot parent who just can't spell. i know that's what i assume.
I know someone who said that to me last week. A few people were trying to guess how I spelt my name and when I told them, they mentioned something about my parents either being stupid (not being able to spell) or just plain awkward.
I'm hoping I don't have a boy.. I know it seems unfair - its not my choice.. but.. pfft. I guess I would call him Rocket.
I like Delilah
So true! In the last year I have had a few of them!
And my current class Jessica is an annoying little madam.
I definitely think there are "negative" names which are far worse than "unique" spelling etc - like calling your daughter Jezabel (though I kind of like it) or your son Judas
I suppose a lot of people just go for a name they think sounds nice, I think far too much for things to be that simple.
and Reece/Rhys however its spelt! or Riley for a boy.
Freddie Mercury's favourite cat
Does that mean Delilah is the name of a gay mans favourite pussy? I couldn't do that to my children.
It would certainly seem that way...
Boys - I have middle names for definate, Alexandar and William, but I dunno about first names.
They are both (almost) the boy's middle name. Except he is Alex William :yes:
Useless information for ya
Reece can be spelt both ways I think.
