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.
I've been looking at unusual boys names and have found a lot of hebrew names that i really like
Caleb (my DS1 name)
Judah
Jude
Ethan
Isaac
Aiden
Seth
Elias
Kael
Joel
Eden
Zane
Jesse
Axel
Jedi
Jarah
Zack/Zackariah/Zackery
Jabin
Archer/Archy
Judd
Jordan
and non hebrew names that im considering for a boy
Dexter
Hugo
Hugh
Ohhh reading all the X names had me so excited. I think it HAS to be an X name- I love them. I remember that X name thread- I'll have to find it and have another read through.
I thought Espen and Jasper would go together- after my son was born I figured I'd name the next boy Jasper but then I realised some people think Espen is Aspen and it would look like we're big Canada fans And Jasper is too popular now anyway.
The Sullivan I met was only 9 months old- same boy Audax?
I am a bit loathe to share my girl's name because I'm always so scared everyone will jump on it and use it and make it popular. But it's rarely that well received so I'm probably safe... it's Ramona. I love it so much! That's why my son is called Espen... my H vetoed Ramona but I couldn't in a million years call a daughter anything else so I gave him full naming rights of a boy if I could name a girl.
Oh, when Arimeh comes back in from her self ban, I'm sure she'd have a few good ones. Her DS is Aricyn.
I've seen her suggest a baby name site that she might share (hope you don't mind me sharing Mel )

Heh heh- you could stike a deal like I did I've always thought I was having two boys anyway but I'm not giving up on Ramona till this baby is born and if it's a boy I told my H we have to get a girl dog and call her Ramona!
There is a tradition going back many generations in my H's family that the first born boy gets his father's first name as his middle name. So our son has my H's name as his middle name and in the interest of gender equality I decided that Ramona would get her Mum's name so she'll be Ramona Renee. I like the aliteration
But we should get back to boys names because all this talk of Ramona makes me want a girl SOOO badly and I feel bad for this poor little boy I'm sure is growing in my belly!
Oh, on the path of middle names I think this baby's middle name will be Dawson. I wanted a family name from my side this time and Dawson is my Dad's middle name. I don't get along super well with my Dad though I love the name and I think he'd be chuffed I used his name.
I love my Dad's name, but I don't get along that well with my Dad, so half don't want to use it. He gets called by his middle name anyway, so it's sort of not his. Trying to convince DH to use it on the grounds that it would be after a cyclist (Robbie McEwen) He's not all the way there yet.
Definitely could not strike any Ramona deals with my DH. Which is fine, as we have loads of other girls names that I love. All of our bikes are also named - we have 10, so it's easier to tell them apart that way. I have Laila, Susie, Ramona and Xena. He has Mario, Arthur, Roy, Eric, Sunny and Bruce. I also have a Melbourne bike called Tina.
Anyway, to get back on topic... did I include Huxley and Ridley on the list?

You could make one up yourself using a sci-fi name as a "base" ITMS?
