[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
We are currently mulling over names for our 6th baby, due in late [name_f]April[/name_f] / early [name_f]May[/name_f].
Names we love are:
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] ([name_m]Zeke[/name_m])
[name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
[name_m]Dax[/name_m]
We can’t use [name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] as they’re taken by close friends 
”
I do know a couple of Zekes, but none too close.
Middle name ideas are [name_u]Gray[/name_u] or [name_u]James[/name_u] (family names)
Any suggestions of similar names or combinations of the above names with our middles from nameberries would be lovely ”

The first two names I thought of when I saw the title (for water names) are [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Lake[/name_u] … I adore those names on boys <3 Not sure Lake would go with your middle name ideas, but River certainly would 
I also like the combination of Dax Ezekiel … maybe even Dax Ezekiel Gray, if it flows with your last name!
Oh thank you!
I love [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Lake[/name_u] is definitely bad with our last name ”.
I like [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u].
My husband loves [name_u]Van[/name_u] and [name_m]Dax[/name_m], but I find them a little harsh with our last name. I’m finding boys names hard this time
Is [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] too popular for you? [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] Ezekial [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] sound lovely (if you can use [name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] as a mn).
Or [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]? [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Ezekial [name_u]Gray[/name_u] etc.
Or [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]? I think I really like the Celtic ones 
It probably won’t matter to you if you’re not in Australia, but here “daks” (pronounced “dax”) is slang for pants (especially tracksuit pants). To"dak" or “daks” someone is to pull their pants down. Most Australians who hear the name [name_m]Dax[/name_m] will probably think of that. But most adults would get over it in a second or two.
Here’s some links to other NB posts about [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] names:
Good luck, and congratulations!
Thank you - [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] probably not. I love [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] - but we have a good friend named that, my husband has said nope!
Oh my gosh, we are Aussie and I hadn’t thought of [name_m]Dax[/name_m] / dacks / being dacked! I can’t stop giggling now…might scratch that one!
Our daughter actually piped up with ‘[name_u]Van[/name_u]?’ Why don’t you call him ute? That made us laugh so much, we’re reconsidering it too

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]. I can definitely picture ‘[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]’ as a surfer-type.
Other water related names:
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] Sea
Tasman - Tasman Sea
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] - Adriatic Sea
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u] - means “sea warrior”
[name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_u]Rio[/name_u] - “river”
I’ve always picture [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] as a surfer (or any variation thereof, like [name_m]Bode[/name_m] or Bohdi or what have you). It’s a bit softer than some of your other options, if you find yourself leaning that way.
[name_m]Todd[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Day[/name_u]
Iz / [name_m]Oz[/name_m] (lots of names could get you to these nicknames)
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_f]Khali[/name_f]
[name_f]Journey[/name_f]
I particularly like [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_m]Ross[/name_m].
[name_u]Day[/name_u] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
