Congratulations!

... I remember reading in a magazine years ago about a family that agonised over their daughter's name because they didn't want something that would be tease-able or be able to be made into a nickname.

They settled on "Amber".

So the 2-year old brother finally gets to meet his newborn sister, and welcomes her with "Hello, Amburger!"

... an old rule is that when attempting to design something to be foolproof is to remember always that fools are always much more clever than you realise. (And this goes double for the 'innocence' of children and namecalling!)

Have fun!

Cheers,
Annik

I agree. Name him what you want. My parents tried to give me a name no one could make bad nicknames from. Not only did they fail but now that I am past the age where children make fun of your name, I am left with the most unoriganal name in the world.

For those who suggested naming him Christopher... I have a son named Christopher, just turned 5 last weekend. He was named after Christoper Pike from Star Trek. My oldest is Jean-Luc, and the middle son is Anton Kirk. If I'd had them all within the last two years, they'd be Mal, Simon, and Jayne.

Little Christopher wishes his name was Jayne - wants me to call him Jayne all the time. He's got at least 4 friends named Christopher.

I say, name your son Jayne! There's plenty of guys with names that have traditionally been girls names, like Kim and Lynn. They've gotten through it ok, and so will your son. And, he'll have a really cool story to tell when folks wonder about his name.

I think you should name your son Jayne. Because kids will fun of whatever name you pick! They will grow out of it and then your son will have a very unique name. I love having a name that not many kids around my age have. And so will your son. And if you do decide to have Jayne as a middle name I think it would be cute to have Adam as his first. So it would be Adam Jayne. Any ways Congrats!!!!

First off:

Congrats! My wife and I just had our first, a girl 2 weeks ago today.

Secondly:

Name your kid anything you want. We agonized, debated, etc. We ended up with Kylie Taylor.
It evolved out a last name of a soccer player in England with Charlton Athletic. We almost named her Kaylee but we compromised with her current name.

Anyway, good luck you have plenty of time to decide. My 2 cents ------------- go with Jayne Christoph. Or something like that. You can always call him JC growing up!!!

I was thinking about this...how about Reaver Jayne? You could call him Reave for short. Or maybe that gives thoughts to weird, cannibalistic space dudes we don't really know the truth about yet? Eh, just a thought.

Thank you for all the suggestions. We're about 2 months from the due date.

I'm currently rooting for Forrest (it's a family name and I really like the sound of it). My wife suggested George Bailey Knife. I really like the sentiment behind that, and George is also a family name, but...not sure I want to call him George. We both love It's a Wonderful Life, though.

She really likes Jonah but I don't care for it (no offense to any Jonahs).

Don't listen to these guys that say name him Jayne! NO! He'll be battered and brutalized with all the taunting!

My kids are Alec, Tristan, and Willow. The first two were never teased about their names, and little Willow is only 7 months old so a bit early to tell for her.

Good luck with whatever you decide to name him, and congratulations!

Wow congrats bye the way!!!

As for names, heck all names sound cool for a while and then trite aswell. It's really difficult.

I think if I had kids I give them different names as the years go by. I just couldn't decide.

Might start off with something cute like Jake or Moonbeam or something and then later on when they become annoying teenagers, things like Scar or Wire or Abrasive.
"Hey Abrasive, go clean your room!"

...Then as they start to mellow give them the heroic name they deserve.....

....Like Jason or Andromeda.

Congratulations anyway.
