My wife and I have been pretty tight lipped about the fact that we are expecting another child. Turns out it's going to be a boy. We don't have a very long list of names for a boy, so far we have August and Atticus picked out as potential names.
Names are important things, there can be a lot in a name that helps to determine what kind of person you are. As lil knows there's a lot in a name.
So, what are your favorite "boy" names and why?
Congratulations. I, personally, would not invoke the Internet in the naming of my kid. There's no fun in that. What we did was post post-its on the glass door with names on them, and let friends and family add and comment (this is how you find out that one of the names you love, when pared with your last name, "sounds like a stripper"). Even when we knew she'd be a girl we left the boys up. Provokes discussion and you learn things.
Even then, you don't know. I used my connections to reach out to George RR Martin to ask him if he was going to turn Arya Stark into, you know, Hitler (after all, he's got two more books to really piss me off). Never heard back, and decided not to risk it, despite the fact that Game Of Thrones is literally the series that convinced me prose was worth writing and Arya literally the character that made me want to do so. So we'd settled on two or three other names, nice names, great names, and then the kid camed out and
Looked
pissed
OFF.
We knew she was an Arya within about 5 hours.
