Anyone feel like helping me hash out a boys name?

[meow]

Thanks... getting great things to ponder. I really appreciate your responses!

ETA: Oh, and I can't choose Duke Audax because I always pronounce it Juke!

[Nai]

I like Baxter and Griffin

Zeke always reminds me of the dog in the Gary Larson Far Side cartoons.

I wonder how well the name Duke would go in the US anyway.

Oh cool! I forgot about him

They're going to think we named our first son after a TV channel so I don't think we'll have much joy over there no matter what we choose

I wouldn't go with Baxter purely because I live reasonably close to the Baxter detention centre so when I hear it I see bright lights, razor wire and refugees and it gives me the squicks.

Yes! Whenever I hear Baxter, I think of the detention centre too. But I figure if someone has it on their name list, they dont know about Baxter Detention Centre or they aren't concerned about the connotation.
DH suggested it when I was preg with DS1 because we think the NN Bax is cute, but we couldn't get rid of the detention centre connotation, so we didn't use it.

Really? I hate the refugee detention centres with a passion I just don't know all their names. I would hope it will be closed soon and the name wont have that much meaning for long... but thanks for letting me know.

Thought I would add a few other names I love but have thought I couldn't use due to the sound etc. and see what you all think of those too...

Jonte Felix Kelsie- got the e-e name ending thing going on

Zeppelin Felix Kelsie- I LOVE Zeppelin... but because a good old school friend named her first son that. I guess I would have to check what she would think of me using it too? And it kind of feels like it's her son's name, not mine so maybe it's too weird to use a name a friend has used? She lives interstate and we're lucky to see each other every few years but we're in touch on FB etc.

Zenith Felix Kelsie- getting too hippy maybe? I love the NNs Zen and Zenny though.

River Felix Kelsie- same deal that an interstate friend called her son this... and that was only a few weeks ago.

[QueenMab]

Griffin or Baxter fo'sho.

[Pandora]

I like Zeke
Not keen on Baxley, but Bexley maybe?

I dont think the 'n' thing with names is an issue at all.

How about Brecken?
