The boys version of mackenzie means son of a wise leader. Just wondering if anyone knows, is it the "Mac" part that means  "son of".

I like the name Phaelan and mark likes the name Mackenzie (Mack for short) and I wanted to know if I could perhaps name baby Macphaelan/McPhaelan.

That way Mark gets the "mac" bit that he wants and I get Phaelan. Can I do that?

ETA: Just answered my own question. Looked through my baby name book and all the Irish boys names that begin with "mac" all mean "son of the...". So in theory is I named baby Macphaelan his name would mean "son of the wolf"

There are so many websites with Irish names.

here is one http://www.babynamesofireland.com

Ella is Dh's grandma's name, she was such a beautiful woman, I love that name soo much but I couldn't give my daughter that name. It would be funny for the family I reackon.

My middle name is Elizabeth  And I'm Sarah. Not many Sarah's around these day's. Totally a 80's 90's baby name.

Found a boys name. YAY! we were watching a tv programme and the people had a baby and DH and I said it at the same time, we were like done. Now for a middle name to match.

Yip Lou it's normally used as a surname but I found it in a baby name book and I've looked it up on the web and it says it can use it as a first name.

Otherwise the first name equivalent with the meaning fo wold if Ralph...not for me sorry.

Phaelan is supposed to be pronounced Fee-lan

It can mean wolf, little wolf or descendant of a wolf.

We are so stuck on boy's names.
Have 2 girls names.
We're not finding out the sex, but I bet it's another boy just cause we can't figure out a name.

I'm with Amstaff...

Not sure what I think about it as a name...I quite like Iggy as a nickname.

Ann, Rico and Gia were a week early according to the scans, and Jett came on his due date.  I knew the day we conceive Jett, which gave us his due date and the scan agreed and I went into labour at midnight on his due date!

Amber, Rico has Dh's middle names, and Gia has my middle name.  Jett has a random maori name, and my brother's name, for his middle names.

I am not pregnant and will never be again. But when pregnant with Andrew we didn't know what he was but sure he was a boy. Even still I was determined to have Holly if he was a girl as Holly was my "fake" name at work. But he came out and then we had to choose a name. After over a hour (he was born at 1am), we had decided on Andrew and he is so an Andrew and suits it and I love it how he is the only Andrew around his age. His middle name is my fathers middle name (a family name too I think) John. Our Australian family told us after the great Andrew Johns!!!

Josh I knew was a born from about 11 weeks and DH had a number of boys names he wanted (and I did like them), but I wanted Josh and was determined to get it. He came out and DH tried all the names he had and he just wasn't any of them so I tried Josh and that was it. Josh has one of DH's middle names Gareth.

I have a cousin, Amber, who used Samuel as her first son's middle name, then when her second son came along a few years down the track, she called him Samuel cos she still loved the name so much.  Also her middle name is Lee, and she's used Lee for her 3 daughters middle names, which I think is cool.  So to me, you using Luka for a girl, when Astin has Luke as his middle name, wouldn't faze me.  I know so many people who like the name Luca, but haven't been able to use it for different reasons, which keeps the name quite unique and I love that.

I know, I laugh everytime I think about how Ann and I are due the same day!!  Last year I was questioning whether or not I wanted another baby, while Ann was definitely going to have #4, then we end up getting pg the same month!  The interesting bit will be.... who will pop first??  Ann, do your baby tends to come early, on time, or late??

Amber, our girls names are Eva, or Ava.  Very similar and I love them both so think we'll definitely decide on which one (if it turns out to be a girl) when she's born.  The boy's name I love, and have since I was pg with Gia, is Luca.  Dh has always said no to it though, never liked it.  He has a mate called Luke, who isn't much of a mate at all, and Dh thinks he'll think we've named our child after him. 

gah we both don't each other's suggestions for boys names.  So for that fact, I am hoping this baby is a girl, as we have about 3 girls names, and I would have either of them so that's easy.  Dh has about 5 boys names he'd have in an instant, I don't like any of them.  It's stressing me out a little, yet I have 30 weeks to go so plenty of time to hopefully decide on something.

Any suggestions for boys names is welcome!

And sheena, that's not like you to not share your chosen name.
