MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Mrs Tank and I are expecting baby 2 in Oct so it's baby name crisis name time.
As a boy's name I like:
Alexander / Alex - its an old family name dating back 2 centuries
Jack - but its fallen out of favour as it's 'too popular'
Till (after Till Lindemann of Rammstien fame -corny but heh!)
As a girls name:
Seren - Welsh for star - I actually really like this (being on the St.Pats exchange programme i.e we get a Welsh beardy wierdy 1500 years ago and the taffys get me - seems a fair exchange!)
and
The wife however likes for a girl:
India (I don't want any daughter named after a sub-continent!)
Sky (There's f++k all in it!)
and (wait for it)
Ashanti!!!
FFS! Help!
Tankslapper,take control the hormones have sent Mrs Tankslapper crazy :D.
Lets hope it's a boy.
Dave
Me too mate! Me too.....
divorce is the only real option.
I put up a similar post a while ago - we got some nice name options (although I don't recall if we chose any of them)...
[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/childrens-names-help ]NAMES[/url]
If you are interested, we chose (for our non-identical twin girls born on Monday) Evie Grace and Isabelle (Izzi) Cara.
We stressed and stressed and stressed but as it turned out we had the one name we KNEW we wanted (Evie) which was the first born but the rest we pretty much decided on on the night/following morning. We were told beforehand that would happen like that but we didn't believe it - but it was oh-so true!
Why not Margaret, if it's a girl? That way, she could be named after someone you deeply admire!
Or Dennis, if it's a boy... 😉
MF
We already have a Grace so Eve is pretty cool indeed
full names not shortened versions of them. Nothing too unusual. No silly hyphens
Skye is a girls name - sky is not
No ethnic names ( even celtic) unless you are of that ethnicity.
Not much help am I
Rude - cheers! I'll suggest Margaret to my Welsh wife from a south Wales coal mining town...........................then run, very v e r y FAST!
My brother has 4 week old twins called Evan and Seren. It's a really pretty name but even some of us Welshies are not sure how to pronounce it so bear that in mind.
Chunk
Surely it's Seyr-en?
Still stuck a bit on Angharad btw!
I'd say it with less Y than Seyr-en, some people go the other way and it's more Ser-en with the same sound for both Es, I think that's a Cardiff thing.
Chunk - your from Cardiff then?
From further West originally but I live there now.
Wife's from Bridgend and we live in Welshpool now. Caught between south Wales and the Gogs!
Seamus for a boy
Darcy for a girl 8)
we have number 2 due in 9 weeks, if its a boy the wife wants to it Hendrix...I am determined to find an alternative. Current kids are Emily and Harrison.
I'm trying to get"Barry" back in the frame. It goes with most surnames.
We went for the more regular,Michael and Isobel for our two.
I've always thought Seren was a nice name, Angharad must be a beeeatch for kids to learn to spell probably and pronounce! It's Ang ... emphasis on G harad ...another class sound non Welshies can do!!
Zac for a boy???? Geraint? Gethin?
Eden, for a girl? Or the classic welsh Myfanwy !!!!! But that reminds me of the only gay in the village!!
Our eldest is Lucy and we let her choose the names for her brother and sister when they arrived as twins.
Munqe-chick - Mafanwy!!! LMFAO!
'Daddy, why did you call Mafanwy?'
'Well son it's like this......'
Geriant / Gethin are nice names but too Welsh for me. (happy with a Welsh girls name!!)
Avdave - not such a bad notion, I'll try it out at least. Although I suspect wee Grace will simply say Charlie and Lola! 😆
Before anyone thinks oherwise I was joking with Myfanwy!!! Oh (hijack) just returned to OXfordshire (eurgh!) having spent an awesome weekend back in Cardiff MTBing the local trails, didn't even venture near a trail centre and it was good old MTBing this weekend!
A friend recently named his son Gryffydd (no idea on spelling). Think it's pronouced gru fid (but Welshie th at the end). Mmm I'm Welsh through and through and too Welsh for me!
Don't know many Welsh girls names!
call it Optimus Prime, great name for a child
Mercedes-Chardonay..... absolute winner IMHO
erm, go along with whatever name Mrs Tank suggests and make her think you love it too. take responsibility to register the birth yourself (as a favour while Mrs T relaxes at home)
sign up any old name you like
Till - rock on
Lowri is a lovely Welsh name for a girl.
I tend to like Scottish boys names, Doug, Hamish, Donald, Finley, Robert etc.
My favourite is Nathaniel ( shortened to Nathan).
take responsibility to register the birth yourself (as a favour while Mrs T relaxes at home)
Would she be happy with that? Perhaps she would WANT to do it herself/as a family? I fully expect we will go together to do it (ours are now 11 days old 🙂 ) unless Mrs M asks me to do it because she doesn't want to go out.
My Welsh Gran is Morfydd (Morrie) and my dad is Fane (scottish?)
mudshark
I like the Scottish Mhairi pronounced Va-ree
But Mrs.T she say NON!
Never heard of Fane before - interesting.
I also wanted Fergus for a boy - old family name and the name of a favourite uncle - but again NON!
G
I'll try Mercede-Chardonnay when I get home !!! 😆
Go with Seamus, it's a brilliant name!
