    Second guessing our name pick - HELP!

    So we like unusual names and had picked Gage as baby boy-to-be's name BUT Im second guessing it now. I just dont think its 'us' nor that it fits with the boys.

    So for idea's sake, what would YOU name a brother to Jett and Ripley?

    Any suggestions are welcome but we tend to steer clear of made-up or creatively spelled names Last name starts with a T and end in an N.

    I love Ami (pronounced Army) but now that I think of it your an army wife huh? Yea maybe not lol.
    Hmmm I dont know but Ill give you some names I like that I have seen off BB. Personally I love Mateauz and Aricyn, Zander (or Xander) is a strong name, Luka is great and not really a boy or a girl name... This is tricky I think Ill be back.

    Ah I like Gage, I do, I just dont think it fits.

    Jett was supposed to be a Chase and Ripley was going to be a Thijs

    Some names on our old lists pre-name-chosen were Stellan, Teddy, Thaddeus, Griffin and Drake.

    Right, I was in the middle of posting when the power went out! Rather a fright!

    Anyway, I suggested the website Nymbler, you enter names you like, and it provides similar suggestions. I love that site!

    ETA: Some names I got when I put yours in where Cole and Grey, names I really like too! Fun!

    Aww thanks Rhyb - we love Aricyn too..

    Anna - most people think that its a made up name - but its not, its Scandinavian - and originally spelt Aricin.

    If you like unusual names - have you googled them? I just googled unusual baby names and got that one Some Scandinavian names are cool

    Good luck!

    Boys names are HARD.

    Can I opt to kill Dh so I dont have to share naming rights with him? j/k j/k I swear.

    He's such a name-pooper, everythings too "girly" or too weird. Coming from the man who gunned for Felix for Ds1 when I was pregnant, telling me some of my choices are too weird is just silly.

    Lol, Si's middle name, Lane came up...similar taste anyone?

    ETA: I like Thane...

    WAIT, how about Vaughn? I love that name, and it was a Nymbler suggestion too.

    Ohh and Clay. That's also my favourite.

    Okay, so, I need to have at least 2 more boys...

    Hi AnnaT,

    I remember reading another post of yours and noticing the name Gage in your ticker. Later that night I was talking to DP and mentioned that I saw a ticker with the Baby to Be's name being 'Gage' and wasn't it a beautiful name. I don't think it's too weird at all.

    I also like Griffin.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Gage is cool and it certainly DOES go with Jett and Ripley.

    or Griffin if you have to change it.......stay with Gage, go on

    Like I said in your other post, I love Griffen. Gage does go well with the boys names though. You might hate me but when I first heard you say Gage, I thought of the little boy from Pet Semetery....

    but if you love the name go with it. What middle name are you thinking?
