Name the baby

So M-N was online last night and found a blog where a guy asked people to suggest names for his yet unborn baby. He offered a $25 Amazon.com gift card. Over 300 people posted ideas. Then he named the baby something incredibly stupid.

This blog has been visited more than 3000 times in less than a year (it's been around longer than a year, but I just added a counter on 1/30/06). Ok, so probably 1000 of those are me looking at my own posts, and I think the other 2000 are largely split between about 4 people, but still.

I'm not offering anything other than the satisfaction of knowing you played a role in naming a future astronaut/artist/activist/appletreefarmer/adjective. We originally wanted all names with an 'x,' after Malcolm X (but not Malcolm, especially not for the second boy, god forbid we invite Malcolm in the Middle syndrome). But too many boy's names with 'x' rhyme with Paxton, or have that 'ax' sound that won't work for two.

The first boy's name means Peace, which we like.

We have a list of about 6 or 7 names, none of which we're sold on yet. I'll try to post those later.

But for now, offer me suggestions...

Are you looking for meaningful names again? If so, will need more thought.

If not... Adam, Byron, David, Tristan, Graham, Kenneth, Oliver, Quentin, Randall, Sergei, Victor
