Hello

[justsomegurl.livejournal.com]

I am 34 weeks pregnant and still without a name for our soon to be born little boy. My husband and I are very picky *lol*. I have come up with about 50 names he rejected and I have rejected about 20 names he thought of. I read EVERY entry in my baby name book for boy names (I think almost 5,000) and I didn't really like any. We have a son (from my first marraige) who is named Damian. The name I liked the most that was turned down is Atreyu. The name my husband liked the most was Adrien. We also all love Japeneese culture and Anime, but don't want a name that sound "too japaneese" if that makes any sense. I am really getting worried so any suggestions would be awesome. :) Even if you can just suggest a good website to look at. We want a unique name and that is about all we know for sure :)

I love Japanese name and I know you don't want anything too japanese but since you also like the Japanese Culture and Anime I found the following names I think you might like (or might not.)

Akira
Kenshin

and just to be lame: Goku, Piccolo, Dende or Teinshinhan.

My husband loves DragonBallZ but he turned down any names from the show :(

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

Did he turn down Mr. Popo and Broli and Mr. Satan? (okay, okay, i'm just playing with you.)

How about Kenji? The nickname can be Kenny or Ken.

Ronin, Ryuu, Souta, Draden, Aden
The first three are Japanese.

I think I'll add Souta to my list and see what hubby thinks. Thanks!

[blitzgirl.livejournal.com]

Its from Inuyasha. Kagome's little brother is Souta.

[justsomegurl.livejournal.com]

Yup. That is my favorite show. I have episodes 1-99 on DVD and all 4 movies that I know of. Awesome show :D

[blitzgirl.livejournal.com]

Yep, me too. The hubby got them for me as a Christmas gift.

[justsomegurl.livejournal.com]

same here. I got the first set for Christmas and the 2nd for my birthday. (both from the hubby)

If I had to know how to spell something before I could like it I wouldn't like much. I can't spell. But thanks anyway

Play nice.

although Damian and Adrian are two VERY beautiful names IMO (among my favourites, too), they sound WAY too close together to be a sibling set. calling one name up the stairs for example... it never comes through totally clearly, some enunciation is lost, and you'd have both of them running down when you only needed one. :-P

I second that. =D

You can pull "trey" out of Atreyu. Just don't call him that, put it on his birth certificate. Trey is a great name.

hmm well I live in Japan (but i'm american) and here's a few Japanese boy names that I like:
Kaemon (but might be too colse to damian for you!)
Yukio (i just like the way that sounds LOL)
Jiro (actaully means the second male bron into the family)
Tai (like Ty)
Or you can just go here:

I like just 'Trey' too...

[so-there.livejournal.com]

simple solution: name him Linus
BEST NAME EVER.
*points at Linus in icon*

Atreyu = metal band?

I'm not a fan of Trey either - makes me think of a breakfast tray.

[justsomegurl.livejournal.com]

I was told about that band several times after I announced that I was thinking about the name, but I picked it from the Neverending Story. I don't really like metal too much, so I don't really like the band. However, Atreyu has been undoubtably turned down by the husband.
