Boy name help

[Phteven]

I don't like Jai much and Jailen makes me think of people with cigarettes under their t-shirt sleeves and missing teeth.

If you had a Jason, a James or a Jacob you could use Jai as a nickname.

The Jai i know is not J, but J-eye....

[*Ash*]

I have the following 'problem' with Jai...

Is it a creative spelling for Jay or is it pronounced Jye?

I never know how to pronounce it.

[Ngala]

Yes it would be pronounced Jye
I think that a lot of people wouldnt know how to pronounce it..

Jai is a nice name, I met a lil boy called Jai and he was a cutie. but I just don't want to call our son that..

I agree with you, I don't think Jai & Avaleigh really complement each other. I do know Jai too but his name really suits him. I don't have any other suggestions.

Not to criticise anyone that does the "dad names the boys, mum names the girls" but im not a big one for that. I beleive you should both have a say and both love or at least like the name you choose for your baby. So if you dont like Jai, then i think u should both actively keep looking until u find one u both like. So keep offering DH suggestions lol :P

I agree that Jai and Avaleigh dont compliment each other, i think a more old style traditional name would compliment Avaleigh, its such a pretty name, reminds me of lace or something, dont know why. Anyway, rambling.............i would be looking along the lines of William, James, Roman (biased on that one :P), Oliver, Samuel, Isaac, Jacob etc etc

kristi - yes i agree with what you say but I would like to encourage DH to chose a name but I wont settle for something that I don't like.

Think I need to offer some more names!! Hit me with some boy names

How about Jairus?

All the best, choosing names with a partner can be sooooo hard!

Very good to hear Ive got friends who have settled for something they dont like and regretted it and its taken them a long time to get used to the name.

When it comes to boys names i find it difficult but here are some suggestions.

Luca
Isaac
Roman
Oliver
William
Samuel
Ethan
Drew
James
Jacob
Xavier
