My almost 7 year old is Luke Harrison Lyon. The Luke is from (you guessed it) Luke Skywalker (my wife and I are huge fans). The Harrison part is my grandfather's name.
My almost 4 year old is Elijah Wayne Lyon. No particular reason for Elijah we just really liked it. Wayne is my wife's grandfather's name.
My to be born on or near Nov 2. will be Michael Keith Lyon. Michael is just a name we like and Keith is my middle name.
Reveal - My Luke was almost a Duncan. Changed at the last minute. They were both tied for first place

Tell the truth, you love saying "Luke. I am your father."
Someday he will probably end up in a battle with me over it

At least you're in good company, naming kids after pets. Indianna Jones and all that.BiggusGeekus said:

Sallah: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Junior"?
Professor Henry Jones: That's his name.

Professor Henry Jones: Henry Jones...
[points to Indy]
Professor Henry Jones: ... Junior.
Indiana Jones: I like "Indiana."
Professor Henry Jones: We named the *dog* Indiana.
Marcus Brody: May we go home now, please?
Sallah: The dog? You are named after the dog?
Indiana Jones: I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.
My wife picked Gabrielle as the first name and my choice was Elisabeth. I didn't care if it was first or second name honestly.
Of course it was shortened to gabby and Gabs before she was even born.
I picked Elisabeth because it had the most versatility when it came to nicknames. Most people don't get to choose their name so I wanted my daughter to have some options so she could choose liz, lisa, beth, lissa or some variation.

For our first boy we couldn't agree on a name. One night we were watching a new show and one of the main characters walked in to a room with his friends and one turned to him and said 'Hey Devereaux'. We both turned and looked at each other and said thats it. My Wife wanted a strong sounding middle name and we went with Kale. So our first ended up Devereaux Kale Gafkjen.
My second we named after Connor McCloud of the Hylander movie (one of my wife's favorite movies). She wanted it to be Connor McCloud Gafkjen but I didn't like it, so we went with my first name as his middle and ended up with Connor Thomas Gafkjen.
My wife said if we had a third son she wants his name to be Bane.

Modern Welsh name books are apparently out of touch. A quick search of British national statistics puts Morgan in the top 75 girls names for the 21st century (it fluxuates between 58 and 73, clustering around 60, from 2000 to 2004). It clusters around the same ranking for boys as well, bottoming out at 65.
The vox pops have spoken, and Morgan is definitely an androgenous name.

I'm also vehemently against giving any of our kids androgynous names. Although we have an Alexander, and he mostly gets called Alex, which has become kinda androgynous. :\billd91 said:
But when he conquers the world, I'm sure he'll put a stop to that right quick.
