Anyone feel like helping me hash out a boys name?

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.

I like River but River Felix sounds like River Phoenix

[meow]

True- hadn't thought about the middle name combo. It's too much. And I don't think I can do after my friend *just* called her son River.

I know a boy called Zeppelin too! His name is spelt with one P though. They call him Zepy. I imagine that people would constantly say 'are you a Led Zeppelin fan'? Also I have a vague memory of Zeppelin being the name of a military aircraft. May not be a good connotation.
I know a Zenith, but she is a she and an adult- and, funnily enough, a hippie! Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just thought I'd mention it as you asked whether it was 'too hippy'. Oh I do love the NN Zen. That is cool! Could you use Zen as a first name? Zen Felix Kelsie....
I wouldn't worry too much that your friend just used River, because it is quite a common name now. River Felix sounds kinda cute. And I loved River Phoenix...gorgeous- and a vegan! Although if you did use River Felix, you would have to deal with every second person saying something about River Phoenix!
I agree with your Jonte comments, too much e sound.
