Honestly, the more I go over [name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_m]Wren[/name_m] in my head the more it grows on me. [name_f]Poet[/name_f] might be a bit ahead of its time, but then, so was [name_m]Scout[/name_m]. When people first started being named [name_m]Scout[/name_m] it was a rather polarizing name: loved or vehemently hated; but now it is accepted. I feel like by the time [name_f]Poet[/name_f] becomes a teen and starts getting out into the world his name won’t be an issue. If you really feel that’s the right name, go for it and don’t worry about what other people say.
I love the meaning behind both your boys’ names!
That being said: if the name just isn’t right:
- [name_m]You[/name_m] could consider other types of Jays for inspiration, (the usuable ones being Steller, [name_m]Grey[/name_m], [name_m]Blue[/name_m], and [name_f]Azure[/name_f], otherwise the others are named after places.)
- Is there another family name that is inspirational to you that you could possibly use or use a similar name to that would work for the first name?
- A bit of a stretchy suggestion, but: how do you feel about [name_m]Sky[/name_m]? (There is a fairly famous Skateboarding sibling set [name_m]Sky[/name_m] and [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], but, the sky is also a big blue expanse with positive associations. [name_m]Sky[/name_m] [name_m]Wren[/name_m] could be a bit too similar to [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] though.)
- In the nature vein: [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] or [name_m]River[/name_m], but sounds like you aren’t looking for another water name. (I have met a guy named Lake.)
- Alternatively, [name_m]Teigan[/name_m] means poet if you want to keep the same meaning, although it is a completely different naming style.
Of the suggestions already submitted, I second [name_f]Story[/name_f] (there’s an astronaut [name_f]Story[/name_f] Musgrave, but also keeps the feel of [name_f]Poet[/name_f] and is also a word name,) and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. I also think that the idea of experimenting with [name_m]Blue[/name_m] could be a good way to go as well, (although I personally do not generally agree with color names.)
Ultimately, your child and your family. [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] has a lovely name!!! I’m sure whatever you decide on will be just as perfect!
