    when I think of beach/ocean names I think of Hawaiian names, such as Keanu and Kalani :-) there is more if you do a search :-) Tallon or Tallen probably reminds your mother of rat poison because there is a brand of rat poison called Talon.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

    Some of the names that have been suggested Jai/Jye, Jaxon, Byron, Levi and Seth I love but belong to little boys of friends of ours or relatives that we actually see. I love the name Kalani but I associate that with a girl name after a friend named her daughter that a few years ago.

    Reef, Taj and Tyron, Brodie & Xavier are all growing on me the more I look at them the more I like them

    DH loves Dexter but I can't help but think of the serial killer show

    Also from the list I really like Max and Felix DH had a dog growing up called Max so that was a no go and when I said "What about Felix? he said "that was my cat!" Um pretty sure you never had a cat DH

    Oh and thanks for clearing that up Shadow77, I have never heard of Talon rat poison?? So when Mum said that to me I thought "Wow she really hates it...considering she hates rats/mice" but never actually realized there was a product called that!!

    I still Love it regardless but DH said to me last night that if we named bub Tallen/Tallon we would have to change Zane's name to Hercules or something similar so the boys names were in the same ball park

    I like Taj out of the already suggested names.

    A name that I love is Skylar/Skyler. I think it has that surfie/artsie type feel to it.

    Baxter
    Banjo
    River
    Leaf
    Ferris
    Marvin

    I love Noah, but maybe that's because 'The Notebook' is one of my fave all time movies.

    And I also like Tyson. But i gotta say I really don't like Bohdie, to me it just sounds like a made up name. I have a friend that used this name, but I would never tell her how much I don't like the name!
