I have seen several babies in the paper named Atreyu lately - DK if that matters to you but thought you might want to know.

I like both names! The Neverending Story was one of my favorite movies growing up. I have it on VHS and am waiting for my kids to show an interest in it, lol.

I thought I recognized the name Atreyu from The Neverending Story. I thought he was really cute too! When I was 16, my family spent a week in Germany, and we toured the film studio where that movie was made. We have a photo of me "flying" on the luck dragon with clouds racing by behind me!

No way! Really? Wow, I thought I was the only girl to ever think Atreyu was adorable! The funny thing is that my baby will be "mixed" (I hate that term, but I don't know too many others that sound better..in other words, I'm white and dad is black), and Atreyu seemed to be as well. I just thought he was so handsome.

I love the name Atreyu!!! I had the biggest crush on the boy who played him in the movie.

I also love the name Amaya!!!!

Thank you, I appreciate your compliment. Most people usually think they're way too "out there", but that's just matter of opinion I guess.

Amaya is a name both of us have liked for a good while, and the name Jade came from a show on Discovery Health where there were conjoined twins and they ended up making it. One of them was named Jade and she really was a fighter, and we both agreed that it's a beautiful name.

Atreyu is a name from The Neverending Story (you might have heard of the book/movie..it's old). My father used to read it to me when I was little, and the character Atreyu became my hero. As soon as I mentioned the name, daddy loved it, and Elijah is a bible name he really liked. We debated between Antonio for a middle name (since it's daddy's middle name), but he didn't like the sound of it. Those are the stories behind our choices of names.

Those are really unique, but awesome names. How'd you come up with them? It's interesting

After a good 2 month discussion when it came to potential baby names, we have finally settled on a girl and boy name. We were told it's a boy, but here are both girl and boy names we chose incase they tell us different next time we have an u/s. We chose quite unusual names, but that was our intention because both our names are quite unique.

Girl: Amaya Jade

Boy: Atreyu Elijah
