[Facts] Need Some Middleground
My husband and I are going to have a baby boy. My tendencies for naming lean towards the classic unusual (actual names, but quite unusual) like Ransom and Clive , and even maybe Gryphon.My husband is your all American classic, and he prefers names like Evan and Jack . Names that can easily fit on a little league roster, maybe.Anyway, we both want a name that isn't on the top 100 list if possible, but cannot find a happy meeting point.Does anybody have any suggestions?Thanks,
Elle

>if possible, but cannot find a happy meeting point.Why don't you try browsing through the names on the lower halves of the top 1000 lists? There are several such lists located here:

Cool suggestion, Mike! Sorry I didn't think of it. :)

You may get a few suggestions here, but you're bound to get a whole lot more suggestions if you take your query to:http://members2.boardhost.com/haggisbutt/This board mainly deals with the etymology of first names (and some anagramming), whereas Haggisbutt deals with personal preferences, baby name discussion, etc.-- Nanaea
