My son’s are [name_u]JET[/name_u] (like a plane) and AERO (like aerospace). #3 is on the way and we can’t find a boy’s name. Would like to stay with the aviation theme. Also, would like for it to be masculine and sharp, preferably not a name that would work for both a boy or a girl. Would like it to be semi-unique, but not hard to pronounce. Would like for it to sound like a real name, and not just a mechanical part.
Some ok suggestions have been:
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Sully[/name_u]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_u]Navy[/name_u]
[name_m]Pilot[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocket[/name_m]
Astro
These are ok, but not right for us. Thanks for your help!
From your current list I like [name_m]Pilot[/name_m] the best!
Hmmmm, how about:
[name_u]Pax[/name_u]
[name_m]Wright[/name_m]
Radar (a bit out there to some, but I knew an exchange student in high school with this name and never forgot it)
[name_m]Roger[/name_m]
Wilco
[name_m]Zeppelin[/name_m]
[name_u]Dash[/name_u]

[name_u]Bert[/name_u] (after [name_u]Bert[/name_u] Hinkler)
