We thought we had decided on a boys name.....but then we actually found out he's a boy:) and decided although we love our original name...I am against a baby having to spell his name his whole life like me...and having to repeat his name all the time...so here are some of my options...top 3 are possibles for my DH as well... bottom three I just like..

Jaron Travis(the one we always wanted)
Luke Alexander
Jacob Travis

Nathan
Blake
Callan

unsure on middle for the last three...DH is going to sit down with me over the next week to give me his ideas.. I don't want to call him by his name but I'd just love to have this sorted ..sortof makes everything so real for me..our last name is a short name that starts with F.

Opinions gratefully received...promise I won't be offended:)

I thought I wrote it...I did.. but was right at the end.... starts with an F...short name...:)

I like Luke Alexander

sorry mummy becks..didn't mean to sound rude if i did!:) DJ that does help... that is true about spelling i never thought about that and not sure I love Jake as a name.. Dh always didn't like Nathan but said today it's growing on him.. and Luke is very high up too.. probably Alexander as our last name so short he would need a long middle name..

It's hard naming our bundle of joy:) She was going to be Georgia for definite if a girl.

That is very true:) James is another name I loved but DH said no:( trust me to get a man who is picky about names...i just don't think I could wait that long to name him!

No i don't like that for two reasons... I'm a preschool teacher who also does the rolls so I get to perfect all the spellings and it's very confusing..and my name is Kerri-Anne..and i spell it ten times a day every day and it's frustrating...but he might appreciate having a slightly unusual name I guess? If he is Jacob or Luke or Nathan they will all be spelt the traditional way...but Jaron is unusual enough that I think people will ask him how to spell it a lot.. hmmmmm....

btw Jaron isn't very long to spell. In time he'll be saying "Jaron - J A R O N" before they even get to ask

I love Luke Alexander, that's timeless I reckon. But I like timeless names rather than so called fads, so I'm going for Luke F.

I like Travis, Luke & Alex-ander
Blah i like them all....

I taught a little boy Kyron and his brother was Jaron. I think there is so much variation in names these days that it won't matter too much how you spell any name. I know Kaleb will probably have to go through life saying Caleb with a K (as I've had to explain Kathryn is RYN and no Es!)And don't even get me started on DH's name! (Kynan BTW)Oh and our surname also starts with F and is short.
At the end of the day you should choose a name you like and not worry to much about the spelling. Off topic - when I taught in South Auckland I had a lot of Maori and PI children got so into pronouncing all their names correctly off the roll that when I saw the name Hope I called out Ho-pi. Poor wee girl (luckily the others very quickly corrected me!Ahh kids)
