ETA: Still no name....gimmie some more feedback
As some of you know, my wife and I are expecting another child at the end of July. Last time around, arfcom was instrumental in helping us narrow our choices. (actually, we were pretty set on the the name that we wound up using - Owen - but arfcom sealed it for us) We won't know the gender, but we're pretty much settled on a female name: Amelia Annabelle Mxxxxxxx. But we're unsure for a boy. If you're going to tell me "go with something traditional" then save your breath. James and Matthew will sound like Archie and Harold in 20 years. Poll coming. Multiple choices allowed. |

Quoted:
Without knowing the last name or even it's ethnicity I won't bother with suggestions.  Girls name is great and the boy names are uncommon enough to be worth using, who wants to share their name with half the kids in school.Last name is *very* Irish, FWIW. |

Quoted: Funny. After I posted, I told my wife about this thread.Quoted: Use the "Secretary of State test" Picture the kid as an adult, being introduced as secretary of state. Does it work? Condoleezza would have failed that test, and the longest serving Secy of State was Cordell... We talked about "Condoleeza" No test is perfect, of course. With Rice, "we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfucking Condoleeza"

Quoted: Quoted: FWIW I choose Graham. We were at a loss when our second son was born. Finally decided on Gavin. I like Gavin but my wife doesn't. It seems harder for the 2nd one, huh? Always harder the second time around. We(well I  ) had the name picked out before he was even conceived. I was just thankful the she liked the name too. She picked Gavin this time and we were both happy. |
