One of the things I struggled with, once I got over the fact I was having a little baby BOY , was the nickname phenomena. I was kind of odd about how a name COULD be shortened, and would my son be teased....for instance, I toyed with the name of Parker Peyton (last name)....but, thought, would kids tease him and call him PP (read, PEE PEE)?? So, I searched for a "J" name, like all my siblings and most neices/nephews in my family....and the middle name is mom's maiden name.

How about me telling you what you DIDN"T ask for

I really like all of those names. A *few* might be too left of center for me (as an american) and I would worry about someone teasing him for such an unusual name...but, that might not be the case in SA. I like having a 'different' name, but, I will tell you it gets old sometimes correcting most people with the pronuciation, spelling, etc. Just some thoughts!!
