Well, enroll him in a good martial arts school at his earliest convenience. Unconventional names tend to foment playground mayhem.

I think names with a connection to your family heritage are cool. I'm assuming Gottlieb is?

Except for the first one I named a Jr., we went with a Braeden, Kaleigh and Garrett. I wanted one of the boys to be Angus but the Mrs. shot me down.

Best of luck with the pregnancy!

Martial arts school? You HAVE to name him BRUCE.

Farm names - Festus, Delmer, Rastus

Trendy names - Dakota, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, Cal (as in California).

Assuming you know the gender of your soon to be little one, you can try and find a family tree, and name the child after one of your ancestors. (hopefully that person won't turn out to be a black sheep in the family) If not a first name, then maybe for a middle name.

Then again, I had that idea for my son...I suggested Garrod*...it was shot down almost a little too quickly for my liking.

*ancestors original name was Gerhard, but since they came from a part of Prussia that used to belong to France, and later belonged to Germany for a while, and then was turned back to France for a while (and then belonged to Germany again for a few years), the pronounciation got a little muddled, and was written as Garrod on a Census paper.
