Oh, Haven is so much better than Heaven and Nevaeh (and heaven spelled backwards spelled wrong lol).
ReplyDeleteI do love Lotus in the middle spot, along with other rare nature names like Nightingale and Ravine.
Yeah it is. I was a little surprised to see it for boys.
DeleteI am starting to like Lotus more than I use to. I LOVE Ravine! I think Rave is such a cool nickname for Ravine.
Hobson was the name (surname) of the nanny in the movie Arthur. I believe it was the name of the butler in the original as well. I think Hobson is a very cute option if you like names with a surname-y feel. Hobs would be an adorable nickname.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Dewey for a girl, interesting...
I'm curious about the pronunciation of Luciel, would it be Lucy-ELL?
Really? I didn't know that! I think Hobson seems to fix in with the other popular names a little.
DeleteI know! Dewey is a boy name to me if someone is ever going to use it.
At first I thought maybe it was an alternate spelling for Luciel but maybe it isn't? I kind of like the pronunciation Lucy-Ell or Lucy-Elle.
