    Boy name help

    DH and I have different opinion on boy names. But I am thinking that because I named DD, then DH should be able to name our DS.... BUT I don't like what he has in mind!!!!

    Jai

    I think its short and boring (apologies if anyone out there has a boy named Jai!!) compared to our DD name (Avaleigh) so I was thinking of maybe lengthening it out somehow, IYKWIM!!

    Any one have any suggestions?

    The name I have in mind is Levi but DH doesnt like it.

    Thats one of my dh's fave names too, if we had a boy Jai. Lol. I felt the same.. to short for a first name even though I really like it. Hmm not much help really but what bout Jailen? Other then that may Jai-something else Goodluck, names are super hard and when I didn't know I was having a girl, I could not come up with any boys name...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ok serious help is needed here!! I can't find any name that I like and that I can get DH to like cause he is stuck on Jai and I still don't like it.

    So has anyone got any suggestions?

    DH's name is Jason so anything similar is out and that's one of the reasons I dont want Jai Is cause it's too close and ppl could call him J-ay instead of J-ye...

    We are most likely goin to use David as a middle name. I would like a first name that is unique but not too unusual, something trendy or even surfer like...
