NAMES???...

Im trying to keep my mind off worrying myself to death!! by think of cool unique (but not too out there!) baby names. Does anyone have any suggestions???

As a teacher who has taught so many kids now (married to a teacher - who has also taught many kids), we struggled to come up with names that weren't emotionally loaded because of toads we have both taught.

We also both know how bad too unique names are for kids - especially those that are spelt *differently* (I mean phonically incorrectly, not just the normal different versions like Jacob and Jakob.

Luckily we both like fairly classic names, and we also know having a couple of kids with the same name in class with them won't scar them for life!

I havnt even heard of that one before????

Busymum, try a different spelling like Janelle http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Janelle.html

I love lots of interesting types of names like Kadence, Blaire, Ruby, Penny, Samuel, Alexander.
Nothing too fancy but nothing extremely popular.
If only hubby had agreed with me Olivia would be called Kadence!

Thanks Peace, I hadn't thought of that spelling! Turns out Jinell is another spelling for Janelle which is derived from Jane.... now that is a mission. But my new favourite baby names site (for anyone who is interested) is http://123-baby-names.com/

If that was us, you'd definitely be having a girl then LOL Especially if you now can't get even close to agreeing on a boy's name

I'm the opposite I have a few unusual surname (a few on here know what it is) so we have to have plain names. Our first is Andrew John and the second (if I get MY way) will be Joshua Alex. I really like Alex James but a friend of mine in England called her little boy that and I don't want to "steal" her name.

And have to agree when I was doing one of my teaching practises there was a boy called Conner and I would always spell it Connor (the "normal" way) he always had to correct me and I felt bad for spelling it wrong. I wasn't the only one that spelt it wrong even the teacher did.

YAY! I helped!
Glad you liked the name!!
*now baby listen to Aunty Sara, you are a girl - YOU ARE A GIRL!*

what the??? That is soooo cruel, omg.. thank goodness for having the right to change your name, that boy will be heading there sooner than later.

My mum worked in a school with a little girl called New Year. Enough said lol

My name is spelled Kathryn, which when I was named wasn't as popular as it is now. I'm forever correcting people so I decided I'd shorten it to "Kat". People also decide to add an "e" to my last night despite me spelling it out to them.
