I'll start: Lanxstynn.
Your turn:
-
Lux
-
Brazos
-
I know a Belen - I've read it's a Spanish name for Bethlehem and pronounced like Helen with a 'B'. I think it's so pretty.
-
@autumnlove: @Mrs. Sunshine: Boy or girl?
-
@mediagirl: a boy! It's actually his middle name but it's what he exclusively goes by. His first name is Rilynn. I'm not sure what he doesn't go by that. (Just an aquiantance from HS)
-
Fuel
-
@mediagirl: boy!
-
Eulyn!
I can't get it out of my head. She's the costume designer for the Walking Dead and doing a Google search on the name meaning yields nothing!!
-
Asslynn. Say it Azz Lynn
-
@turkeylurkey: not really...right? Tell me you're joking.
-
@mediagirl: As in Langston?
@turkeylurkey: Like Aislinn/Aislynn? I just posted a thread about that name lol now I could totally see that spelling being pronounced ass-lin
-
@anbanan15: I guess? I don't know how you say it.
-
@anbanan15: I know someone who's daughter is Aisling (pronounced Ashlyn). I only see/hear Ass-sling in my head.
I also know a Lux (but it's a girl).
-
Ellery
-
Axel has been my latest but favorite interesting name
-
Brass
-
Ellyot
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: Like arms in Spanish? Never heard it.
-
This isn't recent, but my first year of teaching, I had an Ahtziry. I called her "Aht-zeety" and the students called her "Aht-zitty"....
-
@Mamasig: yeah. It's definitely not my taste at all...
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: I know a boy Brazos. Its a river in Texas. And
@namaste: I know a boy Axel.
I'm a teacher so I hear lots of interesting names.
King, Chance, Cotton... -
@travellingbee: I figured that's where she got it from but I don't know if there is a reason or if she just liked it.
-
Ryker
-
@namaste: NYC playgrounds are full of Axels
-
@anbanan15: I used to babysit a little girl named Aislin. I never thought that about her name, though!
-
@renee0106: I know an Ellery - she's in her 30s. Love that name.
-
@rachiecakes: I had never heard it before, I thought they made it up! Maybe it's more common than I thought. It is a really pretty name.
-
@renee0106: I tried to get DH on board with Ellery for our DD1, call her Elly but he thought it sounded like Hilary without an H. He felt the same way about Elodie but decided Evelry was okay
@namaste: my BFF had an Axel yesterday!
My interesting name I've heard lately Sunshine.
-
@coopsmama: we know someone with a Ryker...big Star Trek fans!
-
@Pancakes: Oh my gosh, maybe that's where this couple got the name! The dad of the baby is a self described nerd/geek so I bet that's where it's from!
-
@LuLu Mom: I know a Sunny who has a sister named Axel
-
@rachiecakes: a sister Axel? wow I've never heard it for a girl!
-
I used to go to school with an Azel (pronounced Azelle).
-
Pirate! (Come on, you were all thinking it
)
-
River
-
Oh dear, some of these have me shaking my head in disbelief! Apparently everyone I know is boring as I can't think of any out there names from the people I know who have recently had babies!
-
Stone
Jaz (parents didn't want to use the second "z". They feared it would be too confusing and "mess him up" since it is silent
).
-
@Mrs.Someone: I actually just saw this name listed in a baby name book at BN and also learned that it is the frontman from Korn's son's name who, I think, is 10?
-
I know of someone who called their daughter Vayda - her dad is a huge star wars fan.
