Help with 'an' ending names!
| Wed, 12-14-2005 - 12:21pm |
I need some suggestions for 'an' ending names (or has the same sounding ending) for a girl or boy that will go with big brothers Ethan and Logan. I like Declan and Grayden. Coleman is growing on me a bit. I really like Dayne and Zayne, for a boy, but dh's not sold on those two. Before anyone comments I prefer sticking the 'y' in those 2 names. It may seem feminine to others but not to me and I've never heard of changing a vowel to a 'y' to make it more feminine. Maybe it's a country thing, lol. Anyways, any suggestions are welcome for first names, no middle names please....I don't have a problem with those. TIA!

I like both Grayden and Coleman. I'm not wild about Declan, but it's okay. As for the spelling, you aren't technically replacing a letter with Y, you are just adding the Y which is why I don't think it looks too feminine. (As opposed to replaced vowels like Camryn, Jordyn and Jadyn.) Personally, I'd spell them Dane and Zane, but that's just because I'm a no-frills type who likes traditional spellings. I doubt too many people would assume Dayne and Zayne are girls.
Here are a few other names you might like. Hopefully these will give you some ideas!
Boys: Aaron, Adrian, Austin, Benjamin, Brandon, Brendon, Carsten, Christian, Collin, Cullen, Dalton, Damon, Devon, Duncan, Evan, Garrison, Harrison, Ian, Kieran, Keelan, Landon, Mason, Nathan, Owen, Pierson, Ryan, Rylan, Saxon, Sebastion, Simon, Tristan
Girls: Adrienne, Allison, Ashlyn, Brynn, Bronwen, Carlyn, Eden, Erin, Gretchen, Gwendolyn, Jillian, Katherine, Kathleen, Kirsten, Lauren, Marin, Megan, Morgan, Reagan, Rhiannon, Robin, Rowan, Taryn, Vivian
Unisex: Addison, Cameron, Carson, Dylan, Grayson, Jordan, Peyton, Quinn
Personally my favorites to match Ethan and Logan are Ausin, Mason, Cameron, Dylan and Owen for boys and Eden, Erin, Marin and Morgan for girls.
Good luck!

Julie -- mom to Brenden and Spencer and baby due in March
I am in same boat as you...we have a Brendan and an Aaron, and are expecting boy #3 in March! I prefer names that end in that sound as well, not sure why, I just do! (Dh's name is Ryan so maybe that is where I get it?)
Anyway, I can suggest both Brendan and Aaron. We are thinking of naming this baby Cameron, but still not set until we see him. Other names I love but DH isn't a huge fan of are Camden (I LOVE this one), Declan (DH hates this one), Rylan (we kinda think this sounds more like a girls name), Aiden (Not my favorite, but is DH's choice), Nolan (we both like this one), and Evan (not too sure about this one yet).
I also like Dayne so if you choose to go with another "ending", that would be my choice.
Good luck!
