    The only suggestion I have is based on personal experience. Don't choose an oddball name. I have one and my oldest son has an even weirder name (thanks to his father). Don't use a strange Bible name either. My middle son is named Isaiah, and he depises it, calls himself Ike. The oldest likes his weird name but it causes awkward moments for him. I have always hated my real name, it's almost always mispronounced and remarked on. Horrible!

    Pick nice simple names and spell them in the usual way. Cherryle or Sherrill will always have to correct teachers' spelling of her name, Nanci will always have to say 'i not y' and so on. Pick a name that won't be undignified when your child is old. Imagine the indignity of walking into a Social Security office at age 80:
    "Name please?"
    "Moon Unit Zappa."
    "Excuse me a second"...steps into back room, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" from behind door...(this happens to my oldest sometimes)

    Resist the temptation to make your kid stand out by giving him/her an unusual name. Please.

    And once you pick your names, DON'T TELL ANYONE ELSE WHO'S EXPECTING! I wanted to name my youngest Alexander Grant, but a girlfriend who was more pregnant liked my choice and stole it.

    Just some Mommie advice, hope it gives you some food for thought but remember, it's only worth 2 cents so don't try to make book with it!

    No matter sex, I wouldn't dare to name anyone most of these. For some reason I believe even small children are able to kill anyone for being named like that :)))

    Odin is a good Norwegian God. That's a nice name, right? Freja is a Goddess - a Goddess of love. That should be something as well. Then the child should live in a home called Valhall - and everyone would be happy for eternity:))

    No matter sex, hippi - congratulations - my wish is you all will be happy when the new family member decides to show up!

    A boy: Harrison

    A girl: I'll second Mommy with Madison (seems more feminine than masculine to me)

    Congratulations on being a Dad (soon)! Foxy and I are expecting in February, and naturally we're hoarding all of the really good names for ourselves.
