OK - finally - our names...

[Rhia]

I love your boys name and I know 2 little boys with those names
Talan is different but I honestly think it will get popular
Brayden is gorgeous but Im biased-its my cousins names!

Finding boys names is very hard. We are thinking of Ryder for our son and so far my side of the family loves it, not sure what DP's side thinks but I dont care. I love the name and they will learn to live with it!!

Your girls name are gorgeous aswell

[Nelle]

I love Talan and for goodness' sake, DON'T tell your family your potential names! Better to tell them afterwards, trust me!

[smiles4u]

Geez, you are game telling anyone, ... We chose against telling a single sole as we didn't want a negative outcome from anyone before bub was born including my own Mum ... if you knew my Mum it would be a painful experience (didn't need that stress whilst pregnant) !!

I like Kaylee ... and Talan could grow on me

... Have you thought of Kaylee Paige or Paige as a first name ?? ... it's pretty !!

[Snacks]

Nice one, MrsBB! Your mum will be cool with Talan once he arrives - she might be a little embarrassed at first, but I reckon she'll grow to love it in no time at all.

[Arimeh]

I like 'em

My mum and my IL's have to write our kids names on the fridge when they are first born so they can remember how to spell their names!! ROFL

Took them FOREVER to remember how to spell Miss M's name

I love Talan We tossed up the spelling of it, and went with Tallon. I really like your spelling tho And yep - don't tell anyone! It's also a powertool PMSL. And yes.. it's more popular than you think... I'm finding most people know of a Talon somewhere, be it at their child's school, or some friend of a friend.

if you like it, just go for it. People get used to it I've found the only people that sort of screw up their nose are those that want to know the meaning.. or why we chose it. We just like it.. no deep & meaningful reason! LOL. pfft.

Oh, and for what it's worth, you can cop just as much flack for naming them something ordinary like John or Peter. There's always people that won't like a name.

Yup, so true, i did, Ok so i dont have kids with the name john or peter, but when i told MIL that #4 was a grl and we had chosen Emmerson, she looked at me and said, oh well, at least u still have plenty of time to come up with a better name, i mean wtf!
We liked and thats all that mattered.

So true Liz! Even with Brayden my brother said it reminded him of a friend who died (that we didnt know) - so I think any name comes with some sort of quirk!
YAY that someone else has a Tallon - love it

ooo - and I did google and see the powertool. How funny!
Oh well - my name is Brooke - love it, but gosh it can get turned into so many different things... PMSL - but I survive!

[Mrs BB]

Thanks everyone

We havent told anyone that Talan is THE name - just given them all 4 above. But only a few people. Names have been kept pretty quiet otherwise! hehe
I appreciated all of your feedback. I think it is definately going to become a more popular name.
The rat poision thing doesnt bother me - because its spelt different. I can get over that!

... Have you thought of Kaylee Paige or Paige as a first name ?? ... it's pretty !!

Yes! I adore the name Paige but hubby not so keen so this was a good alternative
