it was interesting the other day to find on facebook that an old friend from highschool has 3 nephews, named:

JORDYN
JAXYN
KADYN

i think jaxyn is particularly.. well, tacky. and the "yn" endings? wow.
what do you guys think?

also, my baby boy name is chosen!
elliott (or elliot) james. elliot (or elliott) because we like it and james because throughout the pregnancy fiance and i have referred to him as "jimmy." which spelling do you guys like better? elliott is a reference to elliott smith and elliot is a reference to kurt vonnegut if you want spelling distinction "reasons," as it were. heh.

I cannot fathom why some people use -yn on boy names. The whole point of -yn is to make a name FEMININE. You might as well name your son Annette.

I think Elliot(t) James is wonderful. Elliott is one of those names that is distinctive, yet familiar, that perfect middle ground. I also just happen to like it. My slightly preferred spelling is two T's, it looks more complete, but one T is also acceptable. Congratulations on working your way through the Choosing a Name Labyrinth!
