Help! Terrible surname, my poor child lol

[raffy]

Wow, I thought I had it bad with DFs surname being Pratt!!

Earthy names, earthy names

I'll be back ....

CK - No! No hyphens in this kid's name....his daughter has a hyphenated first name and her mother's and father's last names, it's an absolutely disgraceful name!!! Plus mine is Eakins...Eakins-Brain *shudder* lol

Thanks for those boys names, appreciate it, now I have a baseline and I am fond of a few of them.

Raffy - Prattis 100 times better than Brain lol

Why not just use your family name as their last name? They're your kids, too!

Does you DP feel the same way about his surname? If so maybe he might consider useing your surname instead!

Brain is not as bad as you think it is it could be a LOT worse. My besties surname is Sale so she cannot use plant derived names or colours or even use a month

We are going with Willow I think its a beautiful name.

Are "earthy names" plant based ?? Lily, Rose, Daphne, Jasmine, Ivy ? Savannah, Indigo, Indianna? Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pearl ?

I like the names you have, probably Isabella Jade (rather than Isabelle) some others I loved were Amara, Jolie, Ellira (Allirah)

For boys I have always loved:

Mitchel
Jacob,
Zander
Xavier (pronounced EX avier rather that Zavier)


HTH Nae x x

Thanks Nae, lots more to add to the list Oh wow Sale is a hard one isn't it!!!

MD - Ohhh Hunt-Duckworth is a cracker of a surname, I love it lol

As far as using my surname only, not an option. Although DP doesn't like his surname, he's used to it, and we're both rather traditional there. My DS has his father's surname and I'd never ever change it, I honestly believe that is the father's right to pass down their name. Plus I got Geekins alot as a kid so no matter what the poor bugger will get teased lol When DP and I eventually marry, I'll take his last name even though it's terrible. DS will be the only kid in our family to not be a Brain (HA!), but his father is his father and it isn't fair for me to change it IMO.

I think Annabelle and Isabelle are gorgeous names. Just be sure you wont shorted them to Belle , then its Belle Brain

Has DH ever considered changing the spelling to Brayne . That might work .
