The sonographer said "It looks like Daddy won't be outnumbered anymore."
Daddy said. "Hmm."
Mama said "Really?"
Daddy said. "Well, I guess we can stop debating girl names."
Which left us at square one. We have no boy names. Never did with Boo. Never did with R2.
The Game:
Suggest your boy names in the comments.
The Rules:
1. You must post as "anonymous".
2. Names will be judged based on the following guidelines. Although, we may choose a name that doesn't meet any of the guidelines, so go ahead and suggest anything!
- You can say it if you see it & spell it if you hear it
- Sounds good with the last name. Two syllables. Doesn't end in "m" or "n"
- Not in the top 100 names for 2005 (go here to test: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/)
- Can't be shortened, or, if it can be, shortens to something that meets the above rules
- Celtic-ish (Scottish, Irish, Welsh, etc.)
3. You may anonymously support names posted by others
The Prize:
The thrill of victory.
The Fine Print:
By participating in "The Game", you agree to the following conditions and penalties:
The legal and biological parents (hereinafter referred to as "Mama" and" "Daddy" retain sole and absolute naming authority and may choose any name or combination of names that pleases them. All results of this poll are null and void if Mama and Daddy find something they like better.
You will absolutely, positively and unconditionally NOT have your feelings hurt if Mama and Daddy don't choose the name you suggested. Even if you "voted" for your own name 100 times after you suggested it.
Any indication of your identity void your entry. Plus, Mama will delete your comment.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. In other words, "blech", "eeew", "yuckky", "ha ha ha ha", "you've got to be kidding" and the like are terms reserved for Mama and Daddy to use in the privacy of Strider's house.
Have fun!

No ns at the end...And Welsh names are all typically difficult to spell...so you've really thrown a curve ball there. But I will think of something...Oh yes.
I suppose Han Solo is out?
How about Thomas..or Cornett? Those are both really nice.
Ah, my young Jedi. Assume, you should not.
How about Henry or Erik
Mitchell?
Andrew or Trevor
Alton is nice.
Angus. Brady. Brody. Calder. Casey. Conner. Cedric. Dermot. Drew. Elliot. Garrett. Kealy. Kirby. Miles. Murray. Morris. Ramsay. Riley. Seamus. Stewart.
Ian
These end in "m's and n's" but they're great names, strong celtic names: Liam, Camden, Ian, Kyle, Logan. Liam being my favorite. Pretty strict rules ya know?
Aiden
Ardbeg. (As Oban ends in "N.")
I was shooting for Bunnahabhain, but mama said no.
Oh well. It ends in N and it fails the spelling rule--did you expect anything more than a look and a no?
Dominick
Oh, and you can bet it'd be shortened to "Bunny." Perfect for the schoolyard.
The anonymous person who suggested Thomas or Cornett, made me laugh out loud that people around me were looking at me curiously. I still vote for Brady or Liam. Those sound nice.
Gethin.
Siri / Ciri
Angus
Avie
Lanark.
Carlow
Dal
Patrick
Wyatt
Tobin
Mack
Keane
Good job, team. Keep them coming.
A note about the rules. The name guidelines are negotiable. They are things that we think will make a good name. We might choose something that breaks all the rules, so don't let those stop you from suggesting anything you like. We might like it, too.
Keep up the good work!
Just heard another good name today, "Quinn". Of course there is an "n" at the end, but it's a great name. Then there's "Logan". Again, another "n" but it sounds good too.
Alton, Alton, Alton
