I always threaten my parents with calling a son "Wolfgang"

Either that or "Ralph"

I have a baby on the way at the moment (due Oct 9). In one of my more insane moments I suggested the name 'Emperor' to my spouse in jest. Therefore, the full name of the child would be Emperor Sulicich. Fitting I thought.

Seriously though, names at the top of the list are:
Girl: Margarita Barbara
Boy: William Robert

Both names come from my grandparents.

I have a rule: no names from alcoholic beverages!! Such as...

Brandi
Shandi
Sherri

Of course, that would include Margarita

Also, what is it with surnames as first names? I've seen lots stupid names as;

Moreton
Dalton
Jackson
Anderson

Boy doesn't matter. Richard.

But a name like Isabelle or Maybelle or something is real purdy. "Belle" defines a good female name.

oh and Jackson is probably the only last name that sounds alright as a first name. It sounds better than plain old Jack.

Physcology

In Malawi the present trend is to use Cell Phone style words such as: Nokia, Airtime etc etc

It never ceases to amaze me....

Yep, that my grandfather's first name, and my father's second name.

But I still hope that, by the time I have children, it won't sound like a name for old people

It doesn't, at least over here.

i don't understand yall obsession with anglo-saxon and germanic names... there's so much more poetic beauty in a romantic language name.

I always thought Etienne was a girls name But only because of the band St. Etienne :ashamed:

I'm never sure what I'd name mine. Probably Anna, Sarah or Jen for a girl, but no idea for a boy.
