Ashton (my fave but DH not keen due to Ashton Kutcher ) - sorry, I tend to agree with DH! Braelan - sounds too made up for me. Castian/Kastian (rhymes with the Bastian in Sebastian) - meh. Camden/Kamden (yes - its a place in London, but it was a name first). - Camden is cool, not with a K though. Colby - see, I think of this as a girl's name, or the cheese... Kian (Key-an) - meh. Deslan (Dez-lan) - Des as a NN?? Jasper - very cool! Jyles (Rhymes with Myles) - why wouldn't you spell it Giles? Lewis - another top pick! Makai (Ma-kye) - sounds like Mackay, nope. Mylan - sounds like Mylanta. Tristan - a bit dated.
Oh, i soooo hear you ... WE had absolutely NO boy's name right up until our baby was born (DP & i just couldn't agree on a single name) ... and bub turned out to be a girl (thankfully we had a girl's name we BOTH liked) ... and we were more relieved she was a girl JUST cause we had NO boy's name
... I just love BRAELAN
My fav boy's name that DP didn't like was KYNAN ,,,, i still love it
Ashton - I quite like this one
Braelan - dont like it at all, sounds too made up IYKWIM
Castian/Kastian - reminds me of Casper for some reason, I picture a pale sickly looking kid
Camden/Kamden - like it
Colby - know a girl called Colby
Kian - not at all
Deslan - nope
Jasper - too feminine
Jyles - just makes my think of the butler from The Nanny
Lewis - Like it
Makai - dont mind it
Mylan - too girly
Tristan - too girly
Ashton - Great name, getting a bit common though.
Braelan - dont like it at all, sounds too made up IYKWIM <-Yeah that
Castian - interesting. Without the K.
Camden - probably the best choice. Lose the K though.
Colby - Cheese and girls' name.
Kian - people will screw this one up.
Deslan - not into it,
Jasper - pretty good choice.
Jyles - Hmmmm.
Lewis - Love it. Can't have due to surname.
Makai - not keen on it. Prefer Malachi.
Mylan - pronunciation will get stuffed up.
Tristan - too 1980s
Thanks guys for the honest opinions - and no, none of you were too harsh, its just what I wanted to hear!!
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of your thoughts (ie- Colby & cheese). I had thought of that but wasn't sure that the association was that strong. I will be scrapping that one off the list. Not one of my faves anyway....
Sequoia- I hadn't thought of the heart-burn medicine Mylanta - I am so anti-pharmaceutical so thats a real turn off for me!!
So the faves so far seem to be Ashton, Camden (with a C!), Lewis & Jasper.
mmmm.....
Keep the opinions coming - it really does help!!
) - sorry, I tend to agree with DH!
