I have a personal issue with names, as I despise my name to the point of embarassment.
Picking a name is much harder than I thought, but we went through a long list of names and just started blurting them out until we found one. It's really funny how personal some people take names, because they remind us so much of other people. My wife's choice of Grace was taken out due to my objection that it reminded me of a women I knew who I disliked.
I did NOT make the mistake of using any ex-girlfriend's names. I realized early that none of their names could be uttered in this exercise.
The science of finding a cool, not-too-trendy, easy to remember, easy to write and spell name was much harder than I expected. It's downright difficult. Anyway, I hope you're around in 2-3 years when we have our 2nd, as I may seek your suggestion for a boy's name.
"Robb Stark" may not go over too well.
