You're right- I did say go with Baxter! That was before I was pregnant- I was trying to sell Baxter to a friend IRL too I LOVE the name!
You're probably all right about many of the names not actually being that popular but if you search for Felix for example on the nameberry blog there is a blog post about the most popular searched names on that website and all my faves are on there- a sign that they may be about to increase in popularity. Jasper is the only one currently in the top 100 Australian names though I think.
Casper (there are brothers in town here, Casper & Felix!)
Djago (Jaygo)
Chilla
Zayne
Blaise
Zarrod
Kamden
Anaru (another mauri name, for Andrew)
Ma'lu
Jazz
Lochi
Zeke
Kayden
The only Sullivan I know is in melbourne - wonder if it's the same one!
I commented a lot on the Cool Names to Go With Baxter thread, so I've doubled up on a lot. It is a very cool name, but I think it is rising in popularity. That said, Jasper is waaaay more common - I have worked with a LOT of Jaspers, and the one I have right now is a right challenge! But I do love the combo of Espen and Jasper!
We're not using Jericho... I don't really know why. It's not really "us" and DH is pretty conservative, name-wise. I would very much like you to use it though.

My son is Nixon and the X is very powerfull and strong. i remember all the nurses etc when he was born saying how much of a strong name it was, Im with you i prefer for the name to not be in the popular name list, but you never know how a name will take off or die down do you....but id probably go with a name that i know at the time wasnt too popular
Another bonus i have learnt now he is 4 and learning how to spell his name etc, he recognises his X is words because its not seen as often so it stands out!!
I'll have a look for that X thread there was some real good ones in there!
Names names names!! We took forever to pick this lil guys name and I actually ended up making it up but like you, dont like to tell people in fear people will like it and make it popular heheh. Now that our bub is due anyday though it will soon be out in the open!!!
We loooove Z names too... on our list originally we had...
Zenth (love Zen for short, my partner is still mentioning this one)
Zennon
Zavix
Zennon
Zyden
Zven
Kaizen
Zabian (my fave until I made up the one we are going with!)
Someone suggested Gage, which I love... though that's the name of the little boy that dies in Pet Sematary... I'm sure not that many people will recognise it though!
How about Omri? It's the name of the boy out of the children's book 'The Indian in the Cupboard' which I LOVED when I was young. Sigh, I may use the name Omri myself, gosh I just adore it. I worry though about my surname mixing poorly with it 'Omri Morrison'. Seems like so many 'o's and 'm's and 'r's and 'i's!!
Reading through everyone's names and my 2 boys names aren't in there lol. My boys are Cobie and Tavis. I have never really heard of another Tavis anywhere. Good luck with the name picking it is always fun
I LOVE the name!
