Boys names- please help!

[BabyMama]

I like Maxwell. I also like Bodhi but I think I'd spell it that way instead of Bohdi. I don't think it's feminine at all.

Maxwell is one of those classic names though - and he'll never have to spell it. I hate having to spell my name every time - very annoying! Just my personal opinion but I'm not a fan of changing spellings of names just to 'be different'.

Thanks for all the input.

Baby mumma, i didn't spell it a funny way, that's how i thought it was spelt.

Aliash- I quite like Phoenix, but what would you use for short?

Smiles- funny how the names i like are all long........ it's not intentional i think i like a name that can have a long version and a short one. But it is not a pre-requisite!

Hugo
Rohan/Rowen
Blaise
Oliver
Beajan

Hahahaha! Um, Spencer gets my vote, although Huxley comes in close behind.

Alright, I looked on Nymbler (highly recommend this names site btw, very helpful), and it suggests Clayton, Tanner, Dawson, Forrest and Lincoln, among others.

All the best with your choosing!

Hi Incognito,

If I had a Phoenix, I think I would call him Nix as a nn.
Although other possibilities would be pronounced Feen, or Fee (a bit feminine imo).

But it is funny how nn can develop. My daughter is called Anika, but one of the nicknames I call her is 'Nooks' (rhymes with books). I can't even recall how that happened. So, I guess a Phoenix could end up with a nn that we can't predict at this stage.

I like Bohdi the best! Reminds me of Point Break

[BabyMama]

Bodhi means 'enlightenment' too. Also has potential for nn of 'Bo'.

[sneakysparkle]

Just thought of another

Lennox

[MusicMuma]

What about Griffen?

[Mumtobe123]

How about Harvey?

[incognito]

We had Harvey and Hugo on our list, but friends have recently used them.

I like Lennox, not sure about Lenny which i am sure they would get..... hmmmmm

SS- hehehehe i love Jethro, but only b/c of NCIS!

Thanks for all your input.

I like Bodhan moreso that Bodhi, and the one I know gets Bo for short.

Whoever was talking about the weird ways nicknames develop is right. My brothers name is Christopher, and his nicknames were Henry and Clarence

[Mumtobe123]

Baxter?

Stalking this thread cause we are soooooo stuck for boys names....

Nymbler is good, I've got a few 'maybes' after looking at that site.

Nothing seems to grab me with boys names...I find girls so easy and we have about 5 likely names on our list but it will probably come down to our two favourite after she's born.

Boys are just hard!

Probably my fav boys name right now is in the top 10 in NSW for last year which totally puts me off but I might just have to get over it

[Calluna]

I haven't read the whole thread but my partners cousin just had a boy and named him...

Archie (as in short for Archer but they just used the shortened version)

You wouldn't have problems with people spelling it wrong I don't think.
Not sure what nn you would get but like someone else said, they come from the strangest places hehe.

We're having the opposite problem we have a definate boys name but can't agree on any girls lol.

My 2c, HTH

[thepixie]

what about Harley - like a cross between Harrison and Huxley??
