Baby names?
- Thread starter Holly9937
- Start date
It may be outdated, but my wife and I loved the book "Beyond Jennifer and Jason".
We'd look through the book and discuss names. We scoured our family histories for names we liked. Finally we settled on Josephine for a girl (it wasn't) and Owen for a boy (it was!).

I'll give you the names of both of my children. We only picked out one name for each baby (before we knew the sex) luckelly we got them right 
Bradly Ray (my stillborn son)
Rebecca Bigler (my 10 year old)
Both middle names are family names (Ray goes back at least four generations in my family)
If you want to give him a cool names you can name him John Lennon (your last name)

I'm Scottish so I always wanted to name a boy Angus. Of course my wife refused so we settled on Brett James.

I'll second, or is it third names that are easy to mispronounce get you teased in school.
I had the misfortune of being in the same grade as another girl with a name spelled the same as me but pronounced differently. Both of us always ended up with the wrong pronounciations. Too many people realized my name spelled backwards was a toothpaste as well. :rant:
As to odd names I've always liked my sister and cousins names, Skye and Dax.

My name is Amy, and I always got called Aim Toothpaste for most of my elementary school years too. Also, I was one of 6, that's right, SIX Amy's in my kindergarten class. Lots of different spellings. Aimee, Ayme, Amie, Amy....
I do like my name now, but I used to hate having such a common name back then.

Congrats again! 
There is a baby name finder at:
http://parenting.ivillage.com/
iVillage also has some good messageboards, there is a pregnancy/parenting section worth checking out:

We enjoyed picking out names, but chose to keep them a secret until after our babies were born. Last thing I wanted to hear was how someone disliked our name choices, or put pressure on us to use family namesakes.
