Emma Nicole for a girl, and Andrew something for a boy. My father is Ronald Andrew, my brother is Steven Andrew, my fiancee is Ronald Andrew also (weird right?) and his dad is Andrew Lee. I’d like to keep it going, though I’m not sure if it would be a first name or middle name. My mom wanted to name me Elizabeth after her grandmother, but didn’t want it shortened to Liz or Betsy. So It’s my middle name instead.
What about Dixie Normous
It’s better than Lester.

I’m childfree, so I usually bestow my favorite names on fictional characters.
If I ever have kids, the only names that I would object to is names that are commonly male and female. (eg Shannon, Terry, Pat, etc.)
Boys name? Is it Bruce or Barry?
I hope many of you enroll your children in rigorous self-defense classes when they are very young.
My wife and I just had a boy whom we named Byron.
Bruce, and his middle name will be Wattle. It’s the emblem of our land.
I have thought about this way too much for someone who is unmarried thus far
In parentheses after each name are the possible middle name/s I like with them.

Ulysses if it’s a boy, Ulysseia if it’s a girl (a suggestion from one of the ancient relatives on the old Dick Van Dyke show).
I actually have a grand-nephew named Ajax.
I like the name Patience for a girl. It’s what we named our female Labrador pup. Of course, she is doing her best to demonstrate a personality that is the exact opposite of what the name implies (her latest nickname is “CrazyPants”.
Hee. Lavender, my kids are named Nathaniel Elijah and Thomas Christopher.
Some of the suggestions so far… wow. Just wow.
The guidelines we followed:
-
The name has to be a real name, not recently made up, like “Turniture” or some such thing.
-
The name cannot be one of the 25 most popular names in the country or obviously headed there in the very near future. (Avoid names recently used for very famous female characters of their babies; “Bella” will really take off in the next few years, for instance.)
-
The name should clearly indicate gender.
-
The name cannot be one normally used as a last name.
-
The name should be spelled in the manner that an English-speaking person would probably assume it to be spelled. Replacing perfectly good e’s and i’s with Y’s is absurd.
-
No theme names, overuse of alliteration, or first names that are the same as the last, like “Evan Evans.”
-
If you don’t like the most common short form of the name - e.g. you don’t like “Gabe” for Gabriel - then you don’t like the name.
Also, at the time and place we had the Small One, Irish-sounding names were a no go just because three quarters of all babies were being given some Irish name. That wouldn’t always be true, though.
