My goto was always Richard Edward, or Dick Ed for short.

Have we as a society not yet learned our lesson to not let the internet name things?

Because if we haven’t, my submission for your consideration is Baby McBabyface.

If a boy? Go simple, pick a name like Richard/Robert, that way they have a shortened name to pick from (Rob, Bob/ Rick, Dick) or Leslie

Girl? Pick something crunchy with some history to it, Peony or Persephone or Viola Or Leslie

Here are some baby names I've thought of but probably won't use:

• Kareem
• Hayaat
• Zain/Zainab
• Reem
• Idris
• Ilyas
• Yazin
• Younus
• Safa
• Marwa
• Sadiq
• Talib
• Ja'far

Also, bring back the classics.. Zeno.

Okay, real suggestions.

Think about personal values that you and your wife hold dear. Something that you both know will never change, something you want to teach your child as they grow older. Something precious.

Think about a hero--real or fictional, famous or personal--who embodies those qualities. Name your kid after that person.

So, my culture places a lot of emphasis on names because we believe that names effect the destiny of the named. So we usually create names that we think will bless our children in their future. Examples: Legacy, Radiance, Kiah (Strength), ect. If the name that has a good meaning does not sound like a name then we often make it a secret name and use a nickname based on it for their legal name. Example; if secret name is Malik (Monarch) legal name is Mal.

Male: Bortleby Wafflecrank.
Female: Blorpina

Hope this helps!

How about "Nine Ten"?

Seriously though, my firstborn got a rather specific name which was (and is) totally fine - it just set us up for some serious brain racking when it came time to come up with another name that wasn't comparatively boring.

I'd suggest something that:

• you can spell when you hear it
• you can pronounce when you read it
• in all the languages that you care about

That narrows things down quite a bit, I've found. It also makes life so much easier for the kid bearing it.

Please just make sure not to go too crazy with "unique" names or unusual spelling of a name. It causes a lot of issues and inconvenience for the offspring later in life. Saying this as someone who has a common name but spelled in an unconventional way... it's such a headache, and a whole lot of "we can't locate your file" because someone wasn't listening to me when I spelled out my first name.

I like names that are uncommon enough to not be boring but not too out there. Also having a cool like origin/meaning is nice. Examples with meaning/origin and prominent figures sharing the name included:

Silas: Greek/Latin meaning Forest or "of the Forest" Silas Deane, founder of the Methodist Church

Wesley: Old English meaning west meadow Wesley Moore, current Governor of Maryland

August: Latin (Augustus) meaning magnificent Augustus Caesar, First Princeps of the Roman Empire

Audrey: Old English meaning noble strength Audrey Hepburn, American Actress

Evelyn: English and French (Aveline) meaning hazelnut Evelyn Waugh, English Novelist/Satirist

Florence: Latin meaning blossoming/flourishing. Florence Nightingale, Pioneer in the Medical Field

Congratulations on having little March!

Whatever month they were conceived in. When they ask why it's not the month they were born in, you can tell them "we liked how it sounded" until they're old enough for the truth to be a tempting punishment. Also, congratulations.

I'm a big fan of the Beatles, so I've always been partial to the name "Vera" for a girl; named for the grandchild mentioned in "When I'm 64."

For a boy, "Rocky" the raccoon, or the slightly less ridiculous "John" who you could call "Jojo" before they leave they grow up and leave for California

I like the name Norbert. Old Germanic name meaning "bright north"; really not that common any more unfortunately.

Cronkite. Strong name!

Not sure if this helps the struggle, but I used this app with my wife to name our kid. You link accounts and both swipe for names you like, when you get a match it tells you. It's kinda fun too.

Wolf no matter the gender

I love Morgana, to the point I convinced the wife to use it if we had a girl (we didn't).

I read somewhere long ago of a study that concluded that difficult names (either writing or pronouncing) caused problems for kids early on, so I had that in mind when chosing names, I also opted out of a middle name (I don't know single person who doesn't have one over here other than my kid) because my last name is kinda hard and long already.

Hope this helps choosing something. And congratulations! Whatever you go with, love is the important part, the name is just a tag.

My old boss had a dog named "deeohgee", literally dog spelled out. He also had a daughter named "Katie", which was him compromising with the mother as he wanted to name her "Ka'idee" (kid spelled out....).

Mirabelle (Mira) is a cute girl's name, and I think Basil is a really cute boy's name, but they'd get swirlies for sure at school, so probably something banal like Trent.

If I have kids (doubtful) I would probably use a name from Trek. Some of my favorite names:

• Jadzia
• Kira
• Geordi
• Solais/Riva
• Dal
• Chakotay

Although I like the name Miles, I don't want to subject my child to a lifetime of suffering

Or maybe something culturally meaningful to your family, idk I'm bad at naming things.

I think I read somewhere that names can open up doors.

So you could choose two paths:

1. Choose a name that makes their life easier. I suppose these would be names that reflect contemporary idealized identities.
2. Choose a name that makes their life harder. Fight the system. Prove you can survive even with a name that doesn’t reflect contemporary idealized identities.

first name: (boys) Lawrence, Marcus, Anthony, John/Jon(athan), Joe/Joseph, Zak/Zach(ariah; for non abbreviated), Sam(uel)

first name: (girls) Clara, Ainsley, Kelly, Vicky/Victoria, Audrey, Tanya/Tonya (depends on what region y'all are from),

twins: Terra (or Gaia)/Luna

thats all I've got. good luck, future dad.

You can also choose multiple names. In our family we have one name each with the first letter of the parents name. First name got mother side last name reference becaune we got the last name of our father.
I think 4 names is good because its more unusual while still being manageable & gives options as the first name is always hated.

I'm partial to the Welsh, Taran for a boy or Bronwyn for a girl.
