I always used to tell my sisters that I’d name my first kid “Omegatron”, and we would call her “Meg” for short.
We did end up giving our two kids unconventional names. My wife’s parents tried to talk her out of it, but they finally came around when they discovered her name fits perfectly.
We had to do it because long before our daughter was conceived, my wife had a dream where a little blonde curly-heaed two year old came up to her and said, “Hi, I’m your daughter and my name is Bright”. My wife swears that when our daughter was two years old she looked exactly like the girl in her dream. Given my understanding of how memories are formed, I don’t bother to argue with her.
Given the Celebrity Kaballah kick, I’m amazed we haven’t seen;
(with example last names);
Ain Soph Anderson
Kether Ramirez
Binah Brown
Geburah Jones
Malkuth Johnson
Sephiroth Smith
Tularemia Lagomorpha
and
Pasturella Multocida

I think I’d stick with the names I already like (Owen, Nicholas, Christopher, Jeremy) but their middle name would be Danger. I mean, come on, what’s a cooler middle name for a boy than Danger?
I had my wife sold on Alexander Belisarius since her first pregnancy. Since she kept on popping out girls, it went sadly unused.
Procrustus. Or “Crusty” for short.
Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day has a son named Jakob Danger.

Hmmm, you know, maybe “Guinastasia” would make a good name for a girl. Huh!
Any of a number from the Faulkner Canon would be lovely:
Bayard, of course
Mink
Temple (for the young ladies)
and, my favorite: Flem
Flem McConaughey trips right off the tongue.

I had a friend in college who said he was going to name his son Lugnut Von Ripp (Ripp being my friend’s actual last name).
Nah, he should name the kid Tooten Ripp, and the next one Letter Ripp.
