Hi there...I am 6 months pregnant and we are not finding the baby's sex out. I have played with the idea of a few names, but I'm particularly having trouble finding boys names I like. Our first son is Jayden Joshua. I like names that aren't incredibly popular, as my name is Amanda and I went all through school known as "Amanda P." I also don't want something so out there that my kid will get teased.
Some girl names I like are:

Layla
Eliza
Dusty (I have many people trying to talk me out of this one)

and for boys:

Jared (little too common though)
Anden (Andy for short)

Anyone have suggestions for me pleeeease? ;)

I love Dusty. I don't know why. I think its really pretty. I think the rest of your names are either too popular or too flash-in-the-pan. I get your taste though, and I do like Eliza but I always thought Elija was pretty for a girls name.

I don't know why I like it either...but I most likely won't use it. Someone commented to me that they couldn't see it as being a "professional" name, such as Dr. Dusty ... or Judge Dusty ...

What about looking for a name that Dusty could be a nickname for?

I fear that Layla is becoming a pretty faddish name. Eliza is kinda cute. I don't really like any of the boy names you listed... sorry!
