According to things bogans like, my DS has a bogan name. ohmy.gif

And here is the dilemma...

According to that website, my DD's don't. So what do I do?

!. If #4 is a DS - give him a bogan name so he matches with his brother? But if it's another DD, give her a name to match her sisters?
2. If #4 is a DD - give her a bogan name to even up the bogan-ness?
3. Learn from my 'mistakes' and not use another bogan name ever?

Help me name gurus!

We need to know the names to pass proper judgement biggrin.gif

I agree, we need to know the names to say anything.

#3, I wouldn't use another bogan name just so they match.

I didn't really want to put them up for personal reasons, but I will put them up for a short time - please don't quote them - reference to their birth order, first letter etc is preferred.

Also, if you have anything nasty to say, please keep it to yourself as these are real children whom I love very much. Confirming the bogan-ness or lack of bogan-ness may be acceptable.

I don't think they are bogan names. I no alot of people who have the same name as your DS. but that doesn't make it a bogan name.

Love your DD names though.
Bel Rowley
I think they all kind of match in that they're quite unusual, so as long as you choose an unusual name for your next child nobody will seem out of place.

I LOVE your DDs names! happy.gif I don't think your DS's name is bogan.

I think you need another Z name, so together their initials spell JAZZ.
delli
I think just pick something you love. Be it bogan or not.

I love your DD2's name.
Dabri
Your DS's name, while not really my style, isn't one I would really consider bogan.

I wouldn't pay heaps of attention to the bogan name list. It's a bit of a laugh, is all.

I'd agree with a PP - a nice slightly off centre name would match all three.

laugh.gif shimmershine, I've thought about it once or twice. Nothing jumps out so far. I'm open to suggestions.

I just want to encourage someone (anyone) to name their baby Koldchyzl, is that so wrong?!
Monroe
I wouldn't say they're bogan & I also think they match.
Especially love Z.

apparently I have broken all sorts of bogan rules ( well im blaming Dh since i let him have his way with the younger 2) but mine are only minor infractions so i dont mind. So as long as what Im assuming is a minor infraction and you stick with only minor boagn infractions - go for what you love - if you break it in a major way - you are own your own though!!!
shimmershine
I know someone who has Zen, but might be too similar to your Z. I entered the names on http://www.nymbler.com/ and it came up with Zephyr, Zion, Zain (for a boy), Zinnia (for a girl).

Damn I missed the names!

I missed the names too but Z names I like are:


Zaine

Zenna
Zara
Zahli

Well you already know I'm the bogan mum with the kid who had the mowhawk ..... so my opinion might be considered completely useless, or very important, depending on how much you value boganity!

I don't think J is a bogan name, but I am aware that it's listed on the "bogan lists" all the same.

So I think the trick will be to find a name that appears on the bogan lists, but is not generally considered bogan. You must have balanced boganity!

Some nice boy suggestions from "Things Bogans Like" include -
Arki
Edenn
Foxx
Nemo
Reef

Actually there are heaps - just take a decent 4 letter name and double its final letter, like Foxx or Edenn. Apparently doubled last letter maketh a bogan name! huh.gif
Gudrun
I missed your names but to speak generally:

I am not a fan of the term that starts with 'b' and I think you simply should choose a name you like that goes with the surname and with the sibling names. The name could be similar in style to one or more of the names or what I think of as a contrasting compatible.
