thankyou

Autumn sienna and Kensley may are my fav for a girl
Oren river is my fav for a boy
any thoughts ?

River? Please, no. Names associated with film stars (River Phoenix) are sooooo naff!

Maverick has a wonderful meaning (according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary): "Unorthodox or independent-minded person". It sounds a bit like you! However, I favour one or two-syllable names. (Your son would just get called 'Mav' anyway).

Scarlett? We're back to film stars again. (Scarlett O'Hara). Also, it would lead to loads of school jokes about a 'scarlet woman'.

Autumn? If you live in New England the word will conjure up images of beauty. However, if you live in Grimsby it will probably conjure up a picture of grey gloom!

From your list, I'd favour Hayden for a boy. It's a beautiful name and also the surname of one of the world's greatest cricketers (who announced his retirement this week).

For a girl, I'd favour Talia. However, the most beautiful girl's name I've come across recently has to be the traditional (but still fairly rare) Irish name, Fionnualagh.

(Well, at least one of us took your post seriously!

A friend of mine made a deal with her husband. If it was a girl, she picked the name. If it was a boy it was his choice!
It was a boy and the poor thing is now called Hetfield (After James Hetfield from Metallica)

A riding instructor friend was once employed to teach two little darlings, a brother and sister, named Stone and Cayenne respectively.

Their surname was Pepper.

And my friend rather got the impression that the children had been so named deliberately.

James garner did play Brett Maverick, Roger Moore played his English Cousin. There was another one too but i'd have to google him cos i can't remeber his name, though one was Bart

[puddicat]

If its a boy it should be called Ketch that name name is very up at the moment!!

I called my boys John and Evan, both of them born within the last few years. Unusual these days is bog standard tradition. They'll be a whole bunch of kids with the same allegedly unusual names, 4 cheyannes in john's class by the way. My mum's a midwife and she's yet to deliver a John, been doing it for 15 years now lol

A family round the corner have girls called, sidney, sky and sahara and their lovely little boy is called Storm.

If I had had girls they would have been named after flowers, Poppy and Rose, I expect.

well thankyou

for evryone who was rude i only asked for friendly advice not to be taking the mickey out of there was nothing constructive from recommending tonto thats just childish

SHYANNE age 6 AND TIANA age 8 ARE ALREADY BORN and they love there names so thanks for slating them when it was uncalled for

I am half canadian and half spanish for whoever asked

to the few posts who took me seriously thankyou very much

Sorry - only just joined this thread & did skip through it as it did get rather tedious.
Sky - I do genuinely like sienna for a girl. Tiana is lovely.

But - don't call him/her sailor - you might as well come up with tinker, tailor, solider or spy.

And who suggested Tonto? Sorry - shouldn't laugh I know - but that has given me the biggest giggle of today.

[skyscott25]

Its fine i can take a joke but i feel it went a bit far i mean i very much doubt anyone would have said that stuff if we were all sitting in a room together.

my family are all from state side or spain and so we all have as might be referred to as weird names but ive never been bullied and neither have my children for it

I dont see why we should have to conform and call our children emily and james in the fear they may be picked on surely we live in a multicultral country with many different name and faces

[LoftyLottie]

Oh dear, it was me that suggested Lona Ranger and Tonto. Many apologies, but it wasn't the worse suggestion!

I did make a sensible suggestion to start with though! I really do like Scarlett and Maya and Ella.

Good luck with the new baby.

Sorry :o(
