    LOL Devin Townsend, finally someone else who knows who he is hahah my ex was all into SYL and the rest of that kind of music, nobody else I know has ever heard of them

    We didn't name DD after a singer/musician as such, but I picked 'Emily' because of the song by From First To Last... when I was 16, my daughter was going to be Cailin after the song by Unwritten Law, and I still have a bit of a fancy for Magdalena after the A Perfect Circle song (albeit, 'Judith' is a wicked song but I just don't like the name Judith lol), etc
    And I'm still set on naming any future son I have Drazic after the character from Heartbreak High lol, the name is totally rad as well so I refuse to consider anything else DH doesn't like it though, so good thing we're not having any more

    ftr I think Jade Devin is mad pants, especially as it's after Devin Townsend lol I think growing up with parents like you guys she will appreciate it no end, you guys have good taste in music!!

    Love the name

    I always wanted to use Bon for a boy. After the obvious, Bon Scott (huge ACDC fan here ), but one of my dad's friends got in first with Jack Bon.
    Then Axel. After Axel Rose, but DH was never sure about it. After DS was born he decides to suggest Axel! But DS was 2 months old by then! I was so devistated! Lol! (I guess I could say thats where DD2's middle name came from ) They are the only ones I like. Because they are different, & just coz I really like them.

    A friend was gonna call her DD Seth Deagan if she was a boy. After 2 skate boarders.

    Love Jade Devin too!!!

    And on the topic we were considering a Jacob Damien Danger ..(surname)...

    We liked the names for one, but then came JD from that. Love scrubs, and Danger...
    Well that was a contribtuion from a friend and I hate to say it but I absolutely LOVE it. I think it's cruel for a child (I think I would be too ashamed to put it on school enrolment etc) but for an adult, whoa what a pick up line

    Cookie lol at danger except id be worried ppl would not think of the word danger and pronounce it Dang-er (as in dang ending like gang).

    After all of that were not too sure about Devin! Lol ....we are quite keen on another name but all will be revealed in my BA (4 days overdue so hopefully this week sometime!)

    Didn't some Foxtel guy give his son Danger as a middle name? I love it - so cute!

    Off topic - but my girlfriend got a new dog and has named it Cuba - which is our boy name! I was devastated because it is so unique, everyone will thing I named him after her dog!

    One of my best friends is currently pregnant with a boy and her and her DH are seriously considering the name Cash after Johnny Cash (the country and western singer) who her DH just loves. I dont personally love it but it really suits them as a family.

    My BIL and SIL were going to call their child Vadar/Veda after Darth Vadar if it was a girl. Thank goodness it was a boy is all I will say!

    As for us, for a while the middle name of Richie has been considered both last pregancy and this one after DH;s fave guitartist Richie Sambora. It hasnt been ruled out of contention cause I think it is quite a cute name.

    Oh and BTW I think Jade Devin sounds really nice.
