People often find it valuable to carry the name of a loved, but deceased family member. They feel imbued with that person's spirit and positive characteristics.

Who are your heros? Clearly "John" should be in there. We know you love John Lennon. -- so something for music.

Maybe "Nelson" after Mandela, for freedom (or Martin or Mahatma)

Does your wife have a hero in medical research (Jonas?)

My sister took all of the viable family names in one child. He has my fathers middle name and my grandfathers first name. My sister just had another boy and she named him Hudson. I've been calling him..... you guessed it:

Hudski.

edit: My wife really admires Dr. Michael DeBakey but I don't think we are going with "Michael" or "DeBakey" as a first name.
