If you want some baby name books, the wife is sure we still have some we don't want somewhere, I'll send them to you if you pm me you address. We're talking thousands and thousands of names here.

As for unusual, my eldest is Taliesin and the youngest is Malachi.

Hi,

be thankful you only have to find one name - i had twins!!!!

finding a name that

1 - can't be shortened into something potentially offensive

2 - won't cause amusement (in australia there is a drink called milo, as was one of the girl's best friends when we lived there)

3 - does not spell a rude word with initials or clash with surname

4- cannot be messed with ( bridget richards was a suggestion by one of our friends for their daughter - hubby turned this into rigid britches - daughter was called Luisa instead)

5 - is acceptable to both parents (and family)

etc etc

is a near impossible task.

We ended up with Lauren (as in Bacall) and Jodie (as in Foster).  This nearly fit with above requirements - Lauren has managed to shorten Jodie to Jodes but at least this does not cause offense to Jodie!!!

we knew we were having girls so we only had to find female names.  

On a end note - when people asked what names we had selected (before they were born) we answered Lucretia and Jezebel - most people were not sure if we were joking or not!!!

Have lots of fun picking names!!

regards

I have a car reg she might like then :wink:  :)

When our first ws due, we spent ages generating a list of boys and girls names.

3 weeks after being born we finally decided on Robert (Bertie to his friends) ... which wasn't on the list :roll:

For the other two, we waited until they were born and then thought about names :D
