Something classical for a girl. Clytemnestra, she had an open mind and she was pretty hammy.

Tosca for a girl

Nathaniel for a boy

OpenMind · Post by **OpenMind** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 6:29 am

Either way the child will probably end up thinking its name is 'Oi'.

I like Artemis which can be used for either sex - just read Artemis Fowl, which is about a juvenile master criminal.....on second thoughts, maybe not.

Ok, how about Adam or Eve 'cos would you Adam and Eve it Hammy's preggers!!!

I lean toward the Biblical names: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Joseph for boys. For girls the same: Rebecca, Elizabeth, Hannah, Joann...

But I'm old and they just sound good for names that this blessed baby has to walk around with for the rest of his/her life..

No I can't everyone would stop what they were doing, and look to see who would answer to the name.

I also like: Rachel, Anna, Claire, Heather(my daughters name) for girls.

Superb pic by the way Gal...you look gorgeous!

They are both good Irish names, though we spell conor with one "n" usually, and erm thanks for the outrageously kind words on my new pic, I am gonna use it on myspace so tis good to get some feedback on it, though I'm not gonna hijack this very nice thread on something much more important.

Perhaps a scottish name?

Well, if I had ever had a baby girl I was going to name her Lydia after

a very dear aunt of mine... the name is a little old fashioned but

different and I like it. (Obviously!)

And for a boy, Bryce? It's welsh and means strength or valor...

Here is an idea if he is a boy, you could always name hi Richard after Richard Hammond of topgear with whom you share a nickname, he is a lovely fella, and its a nice name as well, there were a couple of King Richards as well, so it might be a smart move should it turn out that either you or OM are related to the Windsors.

Just to give you an idea of what Irish parents are calling their children and give you some examples of Irish names, a lot of the popular ones are not Irish though as we use a lot of English names as well, along with other popular ones like the Jewish ones. You might need a bit of help pronoucing the Irish ones such as Roisin is pronounced "Row-sheen", or Caoimhe is pronounced "Kwey-bha"

Boy: WIlliam Joseph (after his uncle and great-great grnadfather) and we will call him W.J. William Jospeh was the head of transportation (I think) under Roosevelt. Thats my husband's great grandfather.

All the choices are good ones. I remember reading some advice once....when picking a "cute" or "unusual" name, think ahead about 30 years...will the name still fit the adult in the business world?

I used to like Aaron for a boy. My grandaughter Katelyn has a nice name.
