Please tell me what you think....

[JellyBean]

Man I detest finding a boys name. I'll be so relieved if this one is a girl simply for the naming factor. There are so many I love but DH (an ex-teacher) dislikes most of them as they remind him of his students- lol. He simply will not accept any 'common' name.

So, please tell me what you think of these- some are commonish, some are not. Don't be afraid to be as honest as you like - I'm hard to offend!

Ashton (my fave but DH not keen due to Ashton Kutcher )
Braelan
Castian/Kastian (rhymes with the Bastian in Sebastian)
Camden/Kamden (yes - its a place in London, but it was a name first).
Colby
Kian (Key-an)
Deslan (Dez-lan)
Jasper
Jyles (Rhymes with Myles)
Lewis
Makai (Ma-kye)
Mylan
Tristan

[foreva*your*mummy]

Oh i had to laugh. Ashton if my absolute favorite!!! we are having a boy and my DH hates the name too because of the same reason!!.
I want this name so badly lol.
good luck but that is my choice

[Marlene]

My fave name on your list is Kian as it is my angel nephews name, spelt Kheean.
I also like Ashton and Makai.

Not too keen on the others, but I think names always end up growing on you...and you will know what to call your baby when you see him/her.

[Patooties]

I love,love,love Jasper and Lewis is a gorgeous name too.

[JellyBean]

LOL Krissy - that's amazing. Why do guys have to be so difficult!! I think we should get the last say given we have to push the baby out of our vaginas!!

[Sequoia]

Ashton (my fave but DH not keen due to Ashton Kutcher ) - sorry, I tend to agree with DH!
Braelan - sounds too made up for me.
Castian/Kastian (rhymes with the Bastian in Sebastian) - meh.
Camden/Kamden (yes - its a place in London, but it was a name first). - Camden is cool, not with a K though.
Colby - see, I think of this as a girl's name, or the cheese...
Kian (Key-an) - meh.
Deslan (Dez-lan) - Des as a NN??
Jasper - very cool!
Jyles (Rhymes with Myles) - why wouldn't you spell it Giles?
Lewis - another top pick!
Makai (Ma-kye) - sounds like Mackay, nope.
Mylan - sounds like Mylanta.
Tristan - a bit dated.

Hope I wasn't too harsh, but you wanted opinions!

Good luck.

[lauren22]

MYLAN!!!!!!!

Camden is lovley.

[smiles4u]

Oh, i soooo hear you ... WE had absolutely NO boy's name right up until our baby was born (DP & i just couldn't agree on a single name) ... and bub turned out to be a girl (thankfully we had a girl's name we BOTH liked) ... and we were more relieved she was a girl JUST cause we had NO boy's name

... I just love BRAELAN

My fav boy's name that DP didn't like was KYNAN ,,,, i still love it

[feeb]

[widdly]

Ashton - I quite like this one
Braelan - dont like it at all, sounds too made up IYKWIM
Castian/Kastian - reminds me of Casper for some reason, I picture a pale sickly looking kid

Kian - not at all
Deslan - nope
Jasper - too feminine
Jyles - just makes my think of the butler from The Nanny

[luna moth]

Ashton - Great name, getting a bit common though.
Braelan - dont like it at all, sounds too made up IYKWIM <-Yeah that
Castian - interesting. Without the K.
Camden - probably the best choice. Lose the K though.
Colby - Cheese and girls' name.
Kian - people will screw this one up.
Deslan - not into it,
Jasper - pretty good choice.
Jyles - Hmmmm.
Lewis - Love it. Can't have due to surname.
Makai - not keen on it. Prefer Malachi.
Mylan - pronunciation will get stuffed up.
Tristan - too 1980s

[JellyBean]

Thanks guys for the honest opinions - and no, none of you were too harsh, its just what I wanted to hear!!
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of your thoughts (ie- Colby & cheese). I had thought of that but wasn't sure that the association was that strong. I will be scrapping that one off the list. Not one of my faves anyway....
Sequoia- I hadn't thought of the heart-burn medicine Mylanta - I am so anti-pharmaceutical so thats a real turn off for me!!

So the faves so far seem to be Ashton, Camden (with a C!), Lewis & Jasper.
mmmm.....
Keep the opinions coming - it really does help!!

XX

[Inertia]

Lewis would be my top pick. Then Makai and Camden.

And yeah - I thought mylanta too, lmao!

[LimeSlice]

Ashton - Don't like Ashton
Braelan - not a fan...
Castian/Kastian (rhymes with the Bastian in Sebastian) - Quite like this one, it is different without being weird
Camden/Kamden - Camden I like
Colby - love it but not for a boy
Kian (Key-an) - nope
Deslan (Dez-lan) - really big nope lol
Jasper - I like but too common maybe?
Jyles (Rhymes with Myles) - I love this
Lewis - hmm...undecided!
Makai (Ma-kye) - I love this one too, but hope you dont live in queensland lol
Mylan - no
Tristan- nope.

lol good luck with it!!

[sunshine_sieben]

Jellybean, I so understand your conundrum. I was so hoping for a girl first time around as I think DH and I would have had serious marriage problems had we had a boy. We just couldn't agree on a boy's name. All the ones he suggested were too "trendy" for my liking and I found they would date too much. While the ones I liked didn't sound right in English or didn't really sit well with our last name. We still have that issue a bit this time around, bu not to the same extent.

Having said that, I don't really like any of your names - sorry. But, if I had to pick one it would probably be Lewis, Kian or Jyles (in that order).

LOL Krissy - that's amazing. Why do guys have to be so difficult!! I think we should get the last say given we have to push the baby out of our vaginas!!

I think we should have the last say. At least if he's already determining the last name of our children.
