    I would also like to throw my vote for biblical names, can't go wrong. But on the other hand I have always been partial to the name Dillon for a boy. My daughter is named Destini Cheyenne.

    While my son is now Ronan, I held out for Declan for a long time. While it is common now Aiden spelled the proper way (Aodhan) is cool.

    For a girl I wanted Sorcha or Myfanwy (Muh - vanh - wee).

    When it comes to biblical names I always suggest Shadrach, but no one (including my wife) ever takes me up on it. Hey, you know he'd be the only at his school.

    (Arrogcow, I was partial for Myfanwy as a girl's name too. Another brilliant idea vetoed by my wife.)

    For boys I like Malcolm and Duncan, though.

    Best regards (and good luck)

    My great great grandfather was named Shadrach. Both my brother and I tried that (nickname Shade) and were both resoundly vetoed.

    Diarmid, Malachi, I dunno. When all else fails, a Hebrew name sounds pretty.

    The first thing I think is what are the names of her and your Fathers, and Grandfathers. Honouring one of them by giving your son one of their names might be an idea.
