    Something different? *shrugs*

    So I ave a girls name sorted. It was on my list when I was pregnant with DS... The only boys name I liked I named DS, so that as left e with nothing and I am being really fussy! And I don't like any common names.

    Would love some suggestions, but like I said I am being fussy.

    Some that I like are;
    Tyr (teer), just not sure if this name is too closely related to DS name, Odin (Tyr was apparently Odin's son).
    Raven, I am certain we won't use this, but I like it.
    Griffin, with middle name we are using ends in IN also, thinking it might be a bit if over kill.
    Faolan (fay-lan or fallon), this one is new so still not sure, especially on the first pronunciation.

    So, thoughts? We are really stuck and I am sick of looking! Lol

    Tyr will be extremely hard for people to pronounce correctly. Faolan for some reason sounds sexual to me. Raven- yuck sorry and Griffin reminds me of a children's story.

    The partner had Gunnar on his list but I said, no don't like Magnus... Not sure why, reminds me of something. I think I like Linus out of those.

    Griffins are commonly used in kids stories, AG I think that's why I like it, it reminds me of happy and mystical things.

    I also like Arion, but think it too closely resembles Aryan.

    Tallon's not bad. I had a cat named Tallon

    I have thought about Loki, but I think with so many Lauchlan's these days I am put off.

    i know how you feel and i was so over searching baby names with my last pregnancy it really did my head in!
    ds1 is Nixon Milton so both end in "ON" but we very rarely use both of his names so in regards to worrying how Griffin sounds with the middle name if its not a name you will use much does it matter a while heap? (to us the name Milton was more important than how it sounded because we wanted a family name incorporated in his name)
    I like Griffin, ds1 went to preschool with a Griffin and although i have heard the name tossed around a bit more i still only know of the one Griffin.
    Kaelan was also on our list we liked Kale but didnt sound right with our surname but Kaelan did.
    i see Divvy already suggested it and ofcourse i am biased but ds3 name is Ryker and i love it. we only decided on it 2 days before he was born. We get lots of lovely comments on his name and surprisingly mostly from older people!!
    Kyan and Kade i also like but a little more popular now.
    i think Tyr would be forever getting Ty instead of Teer? ds2 is Tyron and he gets Ty for short.

    good luck its tough when a name doesnt just come to you but Ryker took time for us to love it was on our list for 3-4 months but wasnt at the top of the list, now i couldnt imagine using any other name for him

    What about Storm? I thought it was a boys name but looked it up and it may also be a girls name
