What is 'Rhys'? A family last name? Sorry, but I have no idea how to pronounce that. Zane was famous cowboy, right? Phoenix? Do you live there? Elijah isn't awful. I knew a kid named that, and he hated it, but he found a nice nickname, Lige. He got rid of Elijah as soon as he legally could. But he's now 21. I don't think the name is as unusual now.
Have you considered any 'normal' guy names? I had a great uncle name Aubrey. He was a cowboy in Texas. I always thought it was a cool name but I don't know how he felt about it.
If you dont like my naming style than just say that they are not your style, you dont have to put down other peoples choices and tell them to find something "Normal".
Rhys - Pronouced Reece (many of the people who post here know that) It is Welsh, and yes I have welsh Ancestory. This was also the name of one of my best friends growing up (it was his MIDDLE NAME and he Chose to go by this.... I have loved this spelling ever since.
Zane- I dont know if he was a famous Cowboy or not, and frankly I dont care. Zane means God has given, and after YEARS of infertility, multiple tests (Including DH and I having Surgry 6 days apart) and the process of adoption.... We think the meaning is perfect. (Crawling up the popularity chart to #220)
Phoenix- No We do NOT live there, again picked on Meaning. (Crawling up also # 574 from 989 6 years ago)
Elijah - Elijah means "My God is God" and if you dont like Biblical names thats your choice, but Beings we are Christian, He will have a Church family who apricates his name, and a history that he can appricate (that goes for if we Chose a Less "Normal" name such as Ezra, Abraham, Moses, Ezekiel...which we are not choosing btw)
Torin and Cian are Irish names which we both love, I have a very strong Irish Harritage. (Torin Means Thunder and Cian means Enduring)
And I dont know what you ment by your comment on Aubrey. But Aubrey is my name, I was the only Aubrey in my City Growing up, and I Love it. I have since met some Grown men Named Aubrey who also Love thier Name.
We are also Choosing a less common name Because Our last name is Cox and that is Fairly Common. I would rather our son Be the only kid he knows with his name then be Michael L. cox NOT Michael T. Cox or what ever.
Anyways Sorry this went so long.

I think you should pick Rhys (okay just a teeny bit biased) just to make sure that it STAYS a boys name LOL!! Seriously I have had nothing but compliments on my sons name. Occasionally people do say "Riss" or "Rice" the first time they read it but you only have to correct them once (I mean come on...its one syllable for crying out loud!)
Congratulations on your upcoming adoption and good luck choosing the perfect name!

Rhys, Niamh, Isla and Deirdre!My son does enjoy having a common name. I think it depends on the kid, but his comment on Rhys, Zane, Elijah and Phoenix? "Cool! If we have a brother can we name him one of those?" Straight from a very popular 4th grader.....if it wasn't cool, he'd say so!
