I still can't think of a decent boy's name so I'm open to suggestions.

A few rules:

No daft celebrity or novelty names.
Nothing with an 'r' in it.


Oh and for those of you I've known a while ( you know who you are); if you send me an address I'll send you a wee announcement card :yes:

I wanted Mason or Mogan for a boy.

Good Luck with the baby, in advance. Being a mother should be such a wonderful feeling.

My heartiest blessings to the baby (boy)

Name him after a fav relative that's what we did . My German wife wanted to name our boy after her late grandfather . Whats his name I asked ? Adolf ... hmm whats his second name ? :whistling

Turns out it was Alex so that's what we named him Alex / Robert after me . Second names are just as important I think they can kind of rime or be song like. . Careful with names that people shorten , our boy is just Alex not Alexander . Good luck tho as it's fun and names seem to go on cycles like Bibical then hippy dippy one year .


I had a girls name all picked out , Arlie/ Sheron but surprise it was boy .

English and Belgian tastes no doubt differ from Canadian so I won't presume but just a few suggestions(which you no doubt already know).

Nothing that rhythms or can be easily changed to something unpleasant.
Consider one that that can be shortened for familiarity.
Nothing too trendy .This includes the current stle of changing a letter or two on a common name to make it unique(Poor little Robyn will have his name inadvertently misspelled for the rest of his life).

Wait a second I actually like Robyn but there you have the whole "r" thing again.:(

I applaud your dedication in not including any names containing the letter 'r' :cool:

However for "x" you could have had Xenos (which apparently means "stranger") and for "y" you could have had Yusuf.

No way to do this without knowing the last name.

A boy's name- which will probably not change with marital status- needs to be constructed as a whole- first, middle, last.
Assigning the proper number of consonants to each part so the whole is melodious has to start with the only fixed component...the last name, and work backwards.

Although I applaud some of the restrictions you've placed on this process (albeit without knowing the "why", the banishment of "R" is odd), you can forget the idea that the name will not be shortened or changed by choice or circumstance.
A "Spike" is a Spike no matter the given name.

I can't have an 'r' because it's awkward for me to pronounce and doesn't translate well into Dutch. An English 'r' sounds very different from a Flemish/Dutch 'r'
