Depends on where do you live I guess :)
Congrats on your first born! :D I'm still waiting for mine :P

First of all CONGRATULATIONS! :D Second, no idea about the name, but please choose something normal, something classic for your country, not some weird game name or some pop star name. Don't hurt your child for life...

I don't think that's important. My name is Soren and it is very unusual in Australia (it's an old Scandinavian name). It has its negatives, like needing to be repeated when speaking to strangers, but overall it has been positive to have an unusual name.
Having said that, I don't have any suggestions for you, although I think it is sensible to be traditional in the sense of giving your wife's opinion more weight in the consideration than an internet poll. ;-P
(I'm only teasing! I know you're discussing this with your wife)
Congratulations!

Hi Sören. Just helping you with the missing dots. ha ha
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! :-D
Does that mean I have to start pronouncing it correctly too?
(instead of the Anglo-Aussie version that rhymes with warren - "Rally Swedish", perhaps? Hahaha!)
Also, at the risk of upsetting you, I'm afraid that I must inform you that my parents heard of the name via Søren Kierkegaard, so I probably need the Danish line not the Swedish dots.

It seems like you got the correct letter in the end to confuse all the english reading ppl here anyways so my tries wasn't all in vain.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh no, not at all. Tack så mycket! :-)
My ex-girlfriend worked with a Swedish girl who used to tell me I should use the dots every time I saw her. :-D
Am I correct in thinking that in the Swedish (and Danish, I suppose) pronunciation, the sound of the first part of Sören is more like rhyming with bird or burn?
I only first heard the term "Rally English" a couple of days ago (on this site) to describe the Finnish way of speaking English using their standard sounds. I was hoping that you might appreciate my attempted humour that Soren rhyming with warren, as people say here, is Rally Swedish, for the way English speakers (mis)pronounce the Swedish language.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, your right it would pronounce like bird or burn here. Seems your Swedish friend is right, you should pronounce it the "right way" thats what makes you special. They probably got enough warren down there anyways.

Mate, I'm lucky if I can get a stranger to call me Simon. This place is full of uncultured Brits and Anglo-Aussies that don't know and don't want to know anything unfamiliar.

Sounds like it could be interesting days there, depending on where you go you get different names.
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends on what you're trying to achieve. I just use a fake name when ordering a takeaway pizza over the phone because otherwise I have to repeat it a couple of times and then when I arrive to try to take delivery, I have to conduct an investigation to figure out what name they actually used. It's not that bad when meeting people, but I do generally have to repeat it. It's sometimes confused with the Serbian name Zoran, as there are a few people here from the former Yugoslavia. At least that's not a potentially life-threatening situation anymore like it was in the 1990s (Croatians wanting to kill me when they thought I was Serbian).
Comment has been collapsed.
It's good to hear you survived the Croatians. I hope the threatening situation didn't last long time. Is not nice to bring the war to new place like that.
I'm lucky to have the name Stefan, which would only get few different spellings but pronounce the same or close to same everywhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it's all good now. I actually visited Croatia a few years ago and liked it so much that I want to move there. The youngsters there have certainly moved on and treated their neighbouring countries like brothers.
Comment has been collapsed.
I totally second that. A classic name is timeless and your kid will never hate you for his name, even if it's maybe a bit boring. ;)
As for suggestions, well, no idea. It would depend on where you live. What's perfectly fine for one country would be insane for another.
Lastly, CONGRATS on your first child. It was scary when I became a parent myself, but then it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I hope you'll feel the same! :)

Ow man, coming up with a good name isn't that easy.
Let me think about it, I might come back with a name ^^

Will be waiting for some awesome suggestions from u ... ^^

I agree with Alegarsion on Alexander.
"The name Alexander is derived from the Greek Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros), meaning "Defender of the people" or "Defending men" and also, "Protector of men""
If I have to pick another: Michael.
"Michael /ˈmaɪkəl/ is a male given name that comes from Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל (Mīkhāʼēl, pronounced [miχaˈʔel]), derived from the question מי כאל mī kāʼēl, meaning "Who is like God?"."

Thanks for a very complete suggestions bro, we will keep it.
Comment has been collapsed.
As someone who happens to be called Michael, who loves studying Biblical text and who has also worked as a translator, I have to say I find the standard translation "Who is like God?" to be slightly misleading :D
It's accurate as a very direct translation, but the best English translation to capture the real meaning would probably be "What is God like?"
I love my name :)

That's interesting, thank you. I just copy-pasted the info from wikipedia XD

Congrats on your baby! I have a few suggestions:

Robert - interesting name
Harry - if you ever have more children you can name them Barry and Harry =D
Alan - very cool name
Jack - never gets old
Bruce - very respectful name
Isaac - amazing name
Sam (or Samuel) - always awesome

ths is really nice suggestion bro...we will think about it

I love that name. As well as Nathaniel, which gives it even more depth and the sound of some past times. :)
I like Liam as well. Connor too. Jonathan...
Either way, I posted here to reduce clutter in the thread :)
Congratulations and, as I saw you say that you don't know what to do even though you've waited 4 years for this, stay cool, it is perfectly normal :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Congratulations! May he live long and prosper.
As for the name:
I saw you're from Indonesia. Looked over some Indonesian names and found one: Berkah. It means "God's gift" and I think it is fitting.
Also, my name (Bogdan) has the same meaning but comes from Slavic languages.
And thank you for being so generous! Have a great day!

Great suggestion bro, my wife morely like your name..lol... we will consider it..

Interesting, I found the same meaning for the Indonesian name "Matius" (probably derived of Matthäus/Matthew).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, did a quick search now and you're right. It has the same meaning and it does come from Matthew. In Romanian we have "Matei" and it seems many languages have adopted a derivation of the name.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, thanks! The phonetics are a bit different from English, it sounds more like Bog-Done (like "I'm done eating"). Fairly common name in Romania but haven't heard it once outside of it.

I'm in Indonesia.. :), but i would like to mixing Indonesian name and Foreign names..

I always liked Luke, but my wife vetoed that for both of my sons. :(

Congratulations on your first son! :D
I'm completely clueless about Indo names but in our culture(Greek) it's tradition to name the kid after one of the grandparents as a way of honoring them. I was named after my mother's father while my brother was named after our father's grandfather(we skip the father on his request :P )
Comment has been collapsed.
It's really hard to give your child a name because every country has typical names. But I always liked the name Laurin.
And also congratulations for your first born!

Give me something you or your wife like, so i can give suggestion that may suit your taste? football? EDM? anything?
Comment has been collapsed.
We like some Japanese name, but any name would be considered ...but we wants to mix Indonesian name and any foreign names. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hhmm, if the name too strange, he have the chance to get mock at school, if too common, he cannot stand out.
First name :
- Ryota (Strong)
- Kyoshiro
- Sergio
- Griezmann (sorry, football player name are imo cool, so i couldnt resist to include some^^)
- Alexis
(my suggestion avoid super common name, cause too many using them, like kevin, christian, rizky, etc)
Middle name :
- Olivier
- Alexis
- Indonesian name (sorry, no idea at all)
Last name :
- Usually from your last name right? (Indonesian enough i guess)
Tips : avoid giving too many western name, 7 of my relative and friend got children last year, and all of them giving their child FULL western name, and once again imo, not so good to hear (well, of course i didn;t say this to them lol)
That's all i got, hope it help you. And crossed finger i win the contest lol.

I browsed through full-on Indonesian names, and I liked this one. Mostly because he'll be your handsome little man <3

I hope everything goes well with the delivery and after.
I'm sure you've heard that the first month (the first two weeks, especially) are rough. It's all needy, needy, needy, and the only thank you that you receive is silence. But once you hit around the 1-2 month mark and you get that first smile, it'll melt your heart. When when they start hugging back and saying "I love you", it's the best feeling in the world. It makes all the bad memories disappear in that instant.
I have two little boys, and though they piss me off to no end, I wouldn't trade them for the world <3

Its pretty good i think, but not too good in Indonesia lol
No offense, i know you don't know, and i don't have any bad intention, just want to share fun fact :D
Wario is close to Waria, meaning shemale. So i guess he'll get mock in school for that lol

Hi, I see from your steam profile that you're from Jakarta, like my wife, and that brings me good memories of when we were looking for a name for our first daughter at 7th month of pregnancy :)
About the name, if you're Muslim, maybe I can suggest Raihan Naeem which means Heavens' Flower Blessing.
Many congratulations and best wishes! :D
