Boy name

I really love the name

Locksley

I can see it being different but kind of edgy & I like it

My mom said I should see what everyone thinks. . .

yeah I know Robin of Locksley but I can't quit thinking about it!

My mom said oh I thought you would spell it Loxsley. . . But I like the first way better I think.

never heard of it. my first thought was that it would be a girls name, though.

lilmommalcw · January 2011

I f you don't like it because it's too out there that ok to say too! Other unique name ideas are good too. I like older sounding ones

I really like it!! But, I would spell it different.

Lochslee

Lochsley

I also like: Lochlann, Lochlain

I don't like Locksley, sorry. Too tied to Robin of Locksley, and I don't even think it sounds boyish or old/classic, just way out there. Sorry, my opinion.

LJF1218 · January 2011

I applaud going for something different - I did, too. But I think this one sounds like a girl's name. Sorry =0(

It's a little too different for my taste.

I'm not a fan, but if you're going to use it I like it spelled Loxsley. That way the nick name is "Lox" which is kind of edgy/different.

I'm not really a fan, but if you can't stop thinking about it then it could be meant to be, I'm naming my daughter Ruby Rae and a lot of people really don't like it, but that doesn't matter to me =D

Go with what you want. I am in a similiar situation. I love the show "The Middle" and as a joke I said if I had a boy I'd name him "Brick" after the little boy in the show.

Needless to say I've been crucified over and over (even on these boards) for even pondering the name. What started off as a joke, has become one of our top 5 names. We would probably spell it Bric or Bryk. Actually the name grew on SO many people that my close friends, family and co--workers ask me daily "How's Bric?" We aren't 100% sold on it yet because we do have other names we are considering. But if we decide not to go that way it will most definiltey be a knickname.

I come from a family of teachers and in this day and age no name is off limits. And I'm not worried about kids making fun of my child's name, these days kid make fun of anything..even if your child's name is Mike.

Honest opinion: I don't really like it. If I were at the park and I heard someone call "Locksley!", I would probably roll my eyes. I'm all for more original names, but that one is trying a little too hard in my opinion.?

lilmommalcw · January 2011

I like Paris, Liam, Hampton, & Ryder . . .

rssnlvr · January 2011

I like it. I definitely don't think it's a girly name.

(I asked DH and he immediately said "boy"...but he's not a fan. So we're a split household on this one.)

forensicmama · January 2011

I think Locksley sounds girly. What bout Lachlan? It's a surname and it's pronounced Lock-lin.

lilmommalcw · January 2011

I am liking everyones opinion. Thanks, keep posting! Me and my mom are sitting here trying to figure it out & I have yet to hear another name like better.

rssnlvr - I'm glad your husband said boy! I think it could work for both.

chloephoebecali · January 2011

Not my style, and I think it is a little too out there. I think a little different is okay, but it seems a little too much.

Yellow_Daisy · January 2011

I'm not a fan, but then again I am not a fan of made up names and this definitely sounds made up.

aussiebabies · January 2011

I'm a huge fan of unique names but this one doesn't sit well with me, sorry Embarrassed

I think it's girly but just did a blind test on DH and he said boy. GL on the name quest and sorry if many of us have tainted this one for you.

JesseKhloe&Me · January 2011

It really is your opinion, you will find that most bumpies are fans of original/classic names. I love uncommon names. I dont want another Charlotte, Charles or Matthew.

That said, it reminds me of Lux from Life Unexpected & I love that name

They also call John Lock from Lost "Lock". I think its kind of cool, like Cash, Bronx, Blaize or Gage, which is one of our top runners.

Go with what your heart tells you. If you can say it out loud and love it and say it to other people and be proud, I think you have your little boys name

You are lucky, we have a long way to go....

P.S. The more you share your favorite name the more negative comments you will get and the more you will second guess it. If you choose it and dont share it until after he is born, people usually keep their comments to themselves once the cute LO is here
