Proud mummy to 2 wonderfully cheeky boys
Back again, this time it's for real Want some opinions of the boys names DH & I have in mind (but not 100% on) and suggestions if you have any please. We have: Boyd Hendrix, which I like, but then I don't, but then I do lol and DH keeps suggesting Peyton, which I don't hate, but I'm having issues with it being a very American name & also I see it more on a girl? Combo will be Peyton Ben.

I think Hendrix is a great middle name, it grabs me for some reason. Boyd I know someone with this as their surname, but there are plenty of surnames that are first names so don't let that stop you. I also know two Peytons in real life - a 17 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. I think it can be either although I'm not sure of its origin. Edit - we are due a few days apart!

I like your suggestions but your combos sound jarring to me for some reason...seperately they're great but together they sound a bit strange? However, I think Peyton Hendrix is an awesome combo (for some reason, i feel it sounds better having a 2 syllable name before hendrix...idkw?!). Still like Boyd, but again, sounds jarring hearing 'boyd hendrix' as well as 'peyton ben'... maybe 'peyton benjamin' is better? What do i know The names are still cool

Peyton is #53 in the US for girls. #166 for boys though. So still used. And fairly popular either way. Paxton is at #273 for boys (in America) and not ranked at all for girls? I like Hendrix. But Boyd sounds funny to me, could be an accent thing.

I quite like Boyd, it's growing on me. Really really (x1000) dislike both Peyton and Hendrix. Boyd Benjamin would be gorgeous.
