I cared more about that issue with my first child's name. We named him Tobias and pronounce it toh-BYE-us. His nickname is Toby.</p> <p>People regularly misspell Toby as Tobi, and sometimes they pronounce his name tah-BEE-us. I had never even heard of those two versions of his name so it used to surprise and annoy me. But it hasn't turned out to be a big deal so I would personally not screen for that so much anymore.</p> <p>One of my daughters is Juliet, and people often don't hear the 't' at the end unless I over-enunciate it. Otherwise they think she is Julie.</p> <p>And my other daughter is Amelia, and I'm often asked if it's spelled Emilia.</p> <p>ETA: If you otherwise like the name, you could just spell it <a HREF="https://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Shaymus">Shaymus</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860543 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 09:52:11 +0000 pachamama 2860543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dynamite: we have an Owen in his daycare spelled Eoghan AND I AM LIKE 🤯🤯 I appreciate a unique spelling but I can't even wrap my head around that Gaelic spelling!<br /> @DesertDreams88: my husband has 'bad memories' of a Grant so he vetoed that. And I'm a teacher and I'm pretty flexible about residual dislike of names! Ex- I tutored a literal violent felon named Cade and I still love the name.</p> <p>@Shantuck: I love Kellan. It's a top 3. My husband is Collin so he's worried theyre too similar but I'm like, people literally name their children after them!<br /> @ElbieKay: I feel like the general population can't handle pronouncing that right ☹️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860472 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 23:47:25 +0000 DesertDreams88 2860472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grant or Atlas. My two favorite boy names. I also love Mason but maybe too popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860467 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 22:09:09 +0000 Shantuck 2860467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had similar parameters and an Irish last name and we have a Kellen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860465 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 22:03:57 +0000 ElbieKay 2860465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read your post, and the name that popped into my head was Seamus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860463 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:56:40 +0000 Dynamite 2860463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: Thaddeus &lt;3 &lt;3 babies nicknamed Tadpole &lt;3&lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860459 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:48:51 +0000 Dynamite 2860459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: according to every phonics lesson I ever had it should be Kay-lum, but several other sources, probably more reliable, say the Latin should be See-lum. :) </p> <p>You could always do Eoin - pronounced Owen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860439 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:35:41 +0000 pachamama 2860439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: lol didn't P veto Rowan and now Locklin?!! 🤣 It's odd, going with a more phonetic spelling (Locklin vs Lochlan/ Lachlan) makes it more unexpected. I like "Lock" as a shortened name for some reason.</p> <p>These are good names, guys! Definitely some I have never considered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860429 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:56:20 +0000 JJ2626 2860429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nolan, Silas, Leo, Carter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860422 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:47:03 +0000 JCCovi 2860422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is Killian :) which is Irish. I also love a bunch of other -ian names that I’ll never use because of rhyming:</p> <p>Dorian<br /> Caspian<br /> Trillian (I think this is technically a girl’s name but I like it for both) </p> <p>I also really like Felix and Finnick! I was worried Finnick was too Hunger Games, but I would definitely be tempted to use it if it came up in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860421 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:46:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2860421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was finnegan/ Finn or Flynn. I knew a guy named Eamon and thought it was a cool, Irish name, but I also had NO idea how to spell it until he told me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860415 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:35:40 +0000 Elizabear 2860415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And Keegan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860414 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:35:18 +0000 Elizabear 2860414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emmet and Fintan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860412 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:32:11 +0000 Pollywog 2860412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: I love Locklin, but DH veroee it because it was "too trendy and popular" (enjoy the irony of J and R having much more popular names). It's super popular internationally and I regularly hear it at playgrounds. I don't think it's unorthodox at all.</p> <p>Other names: Thaddeus, Archer, Galen, and Macsen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860402 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 18:10:21 +0000 pachamama 2860402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Blythe: so crazy you mentioned that, our #1 is Locklin but I don't know if it's too... unorthodox? I don't want to scar the kid but I do really REALLY like it...<br /> @magnolia: ooo Wilder and Kieran are nice. I also really love worried but I'm worried it's too close to Rowan 😭<br /> @hellobeeboston: lots of those are on our list<br /> @Dynamite: how do you pronounce Caelum? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860384 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:49:02 +0000 Dynamite 2860384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jasper - nature-y vibe that fits with Rowan<br /> Ernest - idk why, this name is speaking to me lately<br /> Caelum - constellation names are my jam </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860372 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:06:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2860372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Theo<br /> Oscar<br /> Sawyer<br /> Jameson </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860362 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:43:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2860362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colin<br /> Wilder<br /> Archer<br /> Sawyer<br /> Cormac<br /> Beckett<br /> August/Gus<br /> Everett<br /> Bodie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860359 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:40:32 +0000 wrkbrk 2860359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Landon?

It’s technically a girls name but I don’t know if people in the US would know that. Could also go with Emerson </p> <p>I also like Kieran and Rory (but maybe Rory is too close to your son’s name).</p> <p>Others i like Winston, Wilder, Arlo, Quentin, Maceo </p> <p>Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-please-1#post-2860315 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:50:14 +0000 pachamama 2860315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK friends, I know there have been quite a few of these posts (and I have looked through them all, thank you!) but I need some help with a baby boy #2 name.<br /> We like unique (Ellis/ Griffin/ Wyatt- my husband vetoed them) but not obnoxious.<br /> Nothing traditional or top 20 preferably<br /> Brother's name is Rowan and last name is very Irish (rhymes with Brady) so we're kind of pigeon holed I feel like.<br /> Suggestions?!!! I could give birth any day and we have a few we like but nothing we love. </p>
