Baby names(also in feb board)

i dont like jaron myself, sounds like a made up name to me.
i have a nephew called callan and i like it but his grandparents cant even pronounce or spell his name even now at 9 yrs old...! i like luke and nathan.
dont forget too that some people will shorten a name - alexander might become alex for example...

my best tip for choosing a name is to go outside and yell the name out a few times (quite a few) like you would if you were calling him and see if you still like it after that.

I like them all.
For middle names we are using our parents names, their grandparents. Its a nice way of choosing them. My mother would always call me by my first and middle name when i was in trouble .

Also our family name is one that always requires spelling so I'm not going to inflict difficult to spell first names on my children. I also like shorter christian names with a longer surname.

I'm always having to pronounce/spell out my first name to people, I used to want a common name like Sarah or Rachel so didn't have to. But in the end you get used to your name.

It seems unusually spelt names are more common. I like Callan is it scottish/irish? The saying out loud is a good thing, also what will his initials be.

I love the name Callan, it's one of my fav's, though DH isn't so keen.

I agree with most of the ladies here, if you love the name Jaron, then go for it. I think that no matter what name you go for, most at some stage will need to be spelt out.

Fleury, don't forget that Rachel has a lot of different spellings

Well we decided on Nathan then couldn't use that..long story..so anyway his name is ETHAN DANIEL F(short name)

Ethan Daniel is a lovely name
