Sibsets my friend told me about:

Brennan (f) and Malachi
Gavin and Haven (m)

I adore Haven, but for a girl.

Also, a friend's soon-to-be nephew, Kayser. I can only take a guess that it must be pronounced like "Keizer roll." Yuck!

Brennan is okay. I like Malachi. I used to like Gavin, but it has kind of lost its shine for me. I am intrigued by Haven on a boy.

Oh. Just noticed Brennan is on a girl. I do not approve.

Nor do I approve of Kayser. Ick.

Agree on all counts. I much prefer Haven on a girl, but maybe that's just because I've never heard it for a boy before. Plus, my association with the word Haven in general is feminine.

Brennan is terrible for a girl. Brennan and Malachi are okay for male siblings though.

Gavin and Haven seem like an awful tongue twister. I don't know why people give their kids such similar names. It just seems like a lifetime of "Gav- Have- you there!"

A girl I grew up with has a son named Kyser (like Kaiser roll). Why is this name becoming popular?

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

I don't like the similar endings, either.

Kyser? Really? I just don't get it! The only redeeming quality of that name is the nickname Ky or Kai. But still, bleck!

Brennan (f) and Malachi - I love Malachi. But Brennan is terrible for either a boy or a girl.

Gavin and Haven (m) - I really love Gavin. Haven is ok for a girl, but definitely not for a boy.

Kayser - This is Arabic, I think. Maybe Indian. It's a legitimate name. It's pronounced just like it looks - KAY-sir. I don't mind it at all.

Brennan was a friend's last name growing up so I can't see it as a legit first name.

Hmmm didn't know that about Kayser! Although this particular couple are super white Americans so I doubt that's what they were going for, pretty sure it's like Kaiser :-/.

Brennan is a male's name IMO - it's my brother's name and I couldn't picture naming a girl that. It doesn't even sound like a possible uni-sex name that are so popular these days.
I've never heard Malachi, not sure if I like it... and I agree that Haven is cute for a girl, but not a boy.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

I've always seen Brennan as a last name, but I definitely like it for a boy as opposed to a girl for a first name.

I'm not into Malachi, I don't usually like Old Testament prophet names so I think it's a little weird.

Another Haven on a boy. Not impressed. I know someone who has a Genevieve (f), Enoch (m), and Haven (m)...

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

I don't like Enoch at all :-/ Genevieve and Haven would be cute on two sisters.

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

Genevieve isn't my style and Enoch is one of the worst sounding biblical names ever. Plus putting that kind of name on a child is a bit high expectations. And I can't get used to haven on a human at all since its kt friends female dogs name. So that whole subset makes me cringe. And they're all completely different styles.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Very true, the names don't go together well, at all!

I agree about names being high standards for kids, that's why I don't really understand the "Atlas" trend. I mean, it's a cool enough name, but who would want their namesake to mean they have the burden of the entire world on their shoulders?

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And Enoch is the only (or maybe there's two) one in the bible that didn't sin... Who does that to a kid? lol

[un-attra.livejournal.com]

I'm not fond of Brennan for a girl and Haven just doesn't really fit on a boy. Just sounds weird...
Kayser? That's...yeah...no go.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Yeah I don't understand the spelling and even if they spelled Kaiser as it sounds, who wants to have that association? Weird.

Why don't you call the girl Nevah? It's backward and unique!
