HelpAriel for a boy?
We're thinking about Ariel Jeffrey Lucas. My husband loves the name Ariel...I do too, but it's a favorite for him. Jeffrey is my husband's middle name. I thought it would be good for a nickname (AJ). Lucas was my choice, but my husband doesn't like it, but compromised because I was agreeing to Ariel. I'd like opinions, please?

I think it's great! (I'd prefer Ariel Geoffrey Lucas, but since you're honouring I'm sure you'd want to keep the same spelling.) I like Ariel-for-a-boy and it flows nicely with the other two names. Thumbs up.

Thanks! I appreciate hearing from more educated people (as far as names go). I asked on Yahoo questions, and I don't think most of these people have done any research on names ever!

i love Ariel for a boy. I think of the little mermaid, but I doubt a little boy named Ariel would get thos jokes anymore as kids of the upcoming generation will not have necessarily grown up with the character. Everyone from my generation (the disney/sesame street generation as I refer to it) will surely think of the Little Mermaid, but if they tease a little boy they have bigger issues.
Ariel Jeffrey Lucas is very handsome. My person combo for Ariel is Ariel Isaac or Isaac Ariel

I loved the little mermaid when I was little, so thats what I think of. But I like AJ and Ariel is technically unisex, so if you really like it, go for it. But definetly go by AJ with eberyone but family

I like it. Great flow on the combo, too. It's spunky and different.
Just out of curiousity, how are you prn. Ariel?

I love Ariel for boys and I also love Lucas. Jeffery is ok, but not a favorite. The combo flows pretty well.

Yeah, Jeffrey's not a favorite for me, either, but I think my husband really likes using his own middle name, and I can't really find another J name that we both love that flows well with the name.

Don't do it. He'll get Little Mermaid jokes.

So what? Why give in to ignorant bullies? Ariel is a fine, handsome name, and it's widely used on both genders. I don't think anyone should shy away from using the name on a boy because some idiots might associate it with the Disney film. There are plenty of famous male Ariels out there as well (just check the comments section of the name Ariel, for instance).

Where is the comments section for the name? Thanks!

Click on the hyperlink of the name, and search for the 'comments' link from the right side of the screen (your right).

I think of "The Little Mermaid" when I hear the name Ariel, and I assure you I am not ignorant or an idiot. I know that Ariel is a perfectly acceptable male name, and I do like it on a boy in theory, but that doesn't change the fact that when I hear the name, my mind immediately goes "Little Mermaid!"

Kids get teased for lots of reasons, and while I'm totally against out-there names that just look like an invitation to teasing, the problem with this one is relatively minor IMHO.

i think it can be one of those names like tracey and marion... for boys. i guess it depends on the way u prounounce it and spell it.
