Different names

I like very different names and I would like your ideas.  I'm having a boy :)
I love the name Joon for a boy, I know its the same as June but spelled differently but I know a guy named Joon and I absolutely love it.  I am latina and I've heard of joon for boys in Puerto Rico.

Anyway what do you think?  Is it ok for a boy or too femenine?
The name is one of our favorites but we are no where near picking out a name.

Others on the top of the list are Finley, Aurelio, Marcelo and Cid.

Oh that's a good point, Joon-bug, not a fun name for a boy.

My niece goes to school with twins named Axsel (Axel) and Ziggy named after Ziggy Marley and Axel Rose, I think it is so cool.

I had an Uncle named Joon. We called him Joon Bug sometimes. I thought it was just a Mississippi thing but guess not LOL.
I think its nice. So would it be with an e... Joone. I'm sure you'll have the perfect name :)

I went to school with a boy named Joon, and many of the other boys would call him "April" and "Summer", just to pick on him.  When he hit high school he changed schools and started going by his middle name.  

It's a nice name, but people can be brutal.  I just felt bad for him, he was a nice guy.

I like Joon, and I like keepurfaith's suggestion of adding an "e"... makes it look more masculine, to me anyway.

Finley is really cute, too, it's on our list (although I think we've decided against it...)

I think Joon will be out.  I don't want him being made fun of because of his name.

Finley is deffinitely on the top of the list for now, but I'm still not sure, maybe cause I can't think of any middle names that go with it.
So, how is Cid?  I don't like Sydney because that to me sounds like a girls name, but I like Cid, just plain Cid...???

I agree that Sydney is girly but Syd or Cid is a very cute name.

I think its too hard to find boys names for me.  There's a million girls names that I love, but not boys! :(
Any weird name suggestions are welcome.

Quinten I've never heard of and it does not sound like at latin name, maybe Italian but deffinitely not spanish.
Its soo hard, and I'm getting frustrated over anything lately. :(

Hmmm, I tried Shay but dh doesn't like it.

I looked online for unique baby names and it said it was a latin name, I didn't think it sounded like one either. Maybe it meant derived from the latin language lol.

I know a Quinten and most people just call him Q, which I think is a cute nickname.

Probably, maybe Latin like real latin from 2000 years ago ;)  Not Spanish-Latin
I couldnt imagine my family trying to pronounce that, deffinitely a tongue twister in Spanish.

finley is deffinitely winning but I don't want to give up yet.  For some reason I'm not convinced.  What goes with Finley anyway?

Finley or Finn

Well here's an example of what I think are unusual names that I like that my husband doesn't want for one reason or another:

Soren
Jair (pronopunced Jah-eer)
Kai
Tiago
Tanis
Caetano

I'm not kidding when I say unusual...And also in Spanish.

I like Finley but I'm not sure on a middle name...When you get the right combo you'll know it!

Reminds me of the movie Benny & Joon (Johnny Depp and Mary Masterson).

You KNOW my first vote is for Finley, but did I tell you Kai was on my list too? Ken rejected both.. He isn't as "adventurous" with names.. I think if you go with Finley for a first name, you need something with NO "ee" sound in the middle name.. Like..

Finley Broderick
Finley Mason
Finley Jameson <~~ I really like how that sounds..

Just some ideas! =)
