3 Unique boys names; opinions?!

[ohdessy]

Okay so we just found out we're team blue and been having so much more trouble with boys names. I love unusual and nature names as you can tell by my dog's names below, and both me and OH have non-traditional names. I have 3 possible names that I need your honest opinions of. Might be worth noting our surname is "van der Kort"

Phoenix - Means a lot to me in terms of nature, greek mythology, both of us are fire star signs, connotations of rebirth and recent events in our lives.

Dorian - greek origins, love the book, favourite name since childhood (always imagined i'd have a child named Dorian)

Faolan - (pronounced 'fay-len'), OH's heritage, family tradition of using irish names, means 'litte wolf'

Thanks guys x

Not fond of Phoenix as a first name. Love Dorian. (love the movie Dorian Gray, so...)

I think Faolan is also good. (love the sound of Irish names. Don't know if it's cause I'm part Irish?)

 

[SweetWitch]

Faolan is one of my fav names, but they're all really nice.

 

[BunnyBunny]

I like Faolan, but teachers will have a hard time with it cause they will try to pronounce the O. But oh well that is what meet the teacher nights are good for

 

[MariposaTam]

I like Dorian best out of the three. I have a hard time with Faolan as I do try to pronounce the O ( have similar issues with most Irish names though).

Love your dog's names BTW!

Phoenix!

 

[twinmummy06]

I like Faolan

 

[MyWildHeart]

Phoenix sounds amazing with your surname!

I like Faolan. I've never heard it before tho so i think people might mishear it for Fabian or Galen where I live.

Dorian Faolan van der Kort sounds like an ace name to me!

 

[LilMiss_91]

I like all of them and they all sound absolutely fine with your surname

 

[spacegirl]

I like Phoenix but can't imagine it on a grown man and I fear it would put people off interviewing him...

Dorian reminds me of Dorene which is a woman's name so sounds a bit feminine to me.

Faolan is ok and the most masculine and interesting of the three.

Love Phoenix Van Der Kort!

I think they all go with your last name but I prefer Phoenix especially since it seems to have the most personal meaning to you

 

[lov3hat3]

Ive always like the name Phoenix

 

[grace10209]

Phoenix is my favorite.
I have heard several girls name Dorian, not sure if that matters to you.
dont really like Faolan - sorry on that.

I love Phoenix and Faolan Some people would have trouble pronouncing Faolan though.. my OH is Irish so I'm starting to understand Irish names but before I met him I would have pronounced the O lol
