Still having trouble with these boys names. DH is not much help as although he's happy to approve or disprove (as it is more often) he has not suggested one name! Throw some ideas at me - anythign goes at the moment.
My favs are:
Sean (love the name but not sure about the meaning. Does anyone know of a differenet meaning? All I can find is that it is an alternate form of John whic means "God is gracious")
Isaac
Rafael
Rhys
Arley
Jonah
Sebastian (we already have a Seth so this could get confusing if he's called Seb. Will prob end up being a middle name - all my boys have two middle names so will still need another middle name too)
From your list my favourites are Isaac and Rhys. Agree with you that Seb and Seth are too close but definitely use Sebastian as a middle name, love it!
How about:
Oscar
Luca
Jack
Beau
Flynn or Fynn
Connor
Callum
Harry
Liam
I like Rhys ( my DS has this for his middle name, spelt like this aswell) and Arley I havent heard this before but really like it!!.
other names I like are Fletcher and Lawson
I did like Oliver too, then my son started soccer and there are two Oliver's in his team so a bit too common I think. Maybe Isaac will do. I dunno -just doesn't click as much as the others did...
Every time I read your username (Sorka) I think about the 'Dragon Riders of Pern" series of books by Anne McCaffrey. The funny thing is that in the book she marries a guy called Sean.
For what it's worth, I don't worry about the meanings of names. I think your better off choosing a name you love without even reading about the meaning of the name. That's possibly because I don't put any weight on the "meaning" of the names. I mean, who decided what the meanings were anyway? If I make up a new name do I get to choose it's meaning too? I doubt all people with names that have a meaning like "fair of hair" are blondes. Go with your heart
That's where the name came from Mylitta. My husband (then boyfriend) got me into the series and I loved the name!
I know what you mean about the meanings - I shouldn't have ever looked it up and I would have been fine!
Someone posted the other day about their friend having a new baby called Darcy. Hadn't thought of that name and know I've heard it I adore it! What do you guys think? I think it goes with the other boys names well. But I told a friend and she thought it was a girls name.
What do you guys think is Darcy male or female? Does it flow with the other boys names?
Sean doesn't really rock my world. Maybe because there were a lot Shauns in my generation and I seem to not find names of my own generation very exciting
I like Darcy. I think it's a male name. But more and more male names are being used for girls these days and I think Darcy is being used that way. Doesn't make it not a boy's name though.
Some more that I think match your style:
Bryson
Bryn
Macsen
Hamish
Flynn
Miles
ETA: As for name meanings- I woudln't worry too much either. My son's first name means "Bear of the Gods" which I think is kind of cute but then his middle name means "Gift from God" and as an atheist I thought it was a bit of god overkill but, oh well
It does make it hard to pick a masculine name when lots are now used for both boy and girls. I had never heard of a female called Blake until after my own Blake was one so i guess I already have one child with a gender neutral name.
I just don't like the idea of telling everyone we named our baby Darcy and then having them ask if it was a boy or a girl. Probably not that important but I don't want to lump him with a girly name for the rest of his life
It was me who posted about my friends little boy 'Darcy'.
To me it is a boys name, I've never met a girl called Darcy before and from the pic's I've seen of little Darcy at 1 day old, there is no mistaking he is a little boy
To me Darcy is a boys name, but i do know a girl called Darcy. From your list i love Jonah. My sin has a Jonah in his class and he gets Jo for his nickname.
I'm glad you guys think its more male than female. Maybe we could go with Darcy Jonah...middle names don't seem that hard once you get a first name that really clicks
TaRhLi. You'll have to thank your friend - hope she doesn't mind me stealing her name as I like it more and more each day. Hope DH doesn't change His mind!
My Nieces name is Darcie, and my sister has never had an issue with people asking if she was a boy or girl when she told them her name. She is as feminine as they come and I've never had an issue associating her name with being masculine...
I think that Darcy works fine for both and it can be as masculine as feminine.
