    Sadly, I have to agree about Cullen. It's obv not to that scale, but kids named Harry Potter will still be fucked 40 years from now.

    pigalet has been dead on with her advice so far (she and had these same discussions last year via PM)

    My opinion - Jake.

    Here was my rational for both of my kids. I wanted my daughter to have a name that was unique in the broad sense (no Jen, Kim, Lisa, etc.) but not Shawniqua either, and somewhat common for her generation. I wanted it to have the ability to be shortened for familiarity but also sound good as a formal name. We went with Madison because we can call her Maddie from day to day, and when I picture a Madison, I think of a hot girl that is either a bitch or a slut, or both.

    For my son, I wanted a simple, clean name that allowed little or no preconception to those that first hear it (like Carlton or Preston or Cockgobbler does). It was also imperative that the name was not a longer formal name that could be shortened, or used in its long form if he happened to be gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). I went with Jack. When people ask me if his name is short for something, I say "Yes. It is short for Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack."

    And, most important, both kids are named after dogs that I have owned.

    btw - congrats Mhoddi. I hope that everything goes well for you, your wife and the baby.

    Jack actually has a lot of meaning in my wife's family, but her older brother had a son 3 years ago and named him that, so Jack is out. as you can see with cooper and cullen we like last names as first names, so if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to throw them out.

    ty for the advice and well wishes. definitely appreciate everything.

    THAT is what it means? Wow, fuck that shit. And all this time I actually thought it was a pretty good name.

    If I have a kid I guess I'll name him sfdbd8sfjw09ejfowsdlkkjsdflks to make sure it doesn't have any ancient possible religious meanings whatsoever. His nickname can be r2d2 or something. GG my kid.

    Of the five you have Jake. We named our boy Braxton so I bias but of the five you choose Jake is least likely to get his ass kicked because of his name, Second is Cole
