My fave girl name is still Nina, which we named our oldest daughter.
I just could never get as enthused about a boy name. I liked Kevin, hubby liked Mark. But we had another girl and settled with Laura. Another girl name I love.
Whatever she does Perry, tell her to search for the most popular names right now and choose a name a little less popular. One year Nina had 4 Michael's, 3 Jessica's, 3 Jennifer's and 2 Emily's in her Fifth Grade Class. Her teacher couldn't figure out why the Principal didn't spread these kids out over the other 3 Fifth Grade Classrooms. Nina said it was a pretty confusing year. But she was the only Nina!
I chose Nina b/c I loved it but also b/c I was one of 50 Mary's in my HS. Mary Ann, Mary Sue, Mary Pat, someone would call out hey Mary - and we'd all turn our heads. And then my husband's name was common then, Jim. So we definitely wanted less common names for our kids.

Whoa, quick edit - just reread your note Perry. None expecting right now!!! Misunderstood that little important mention...... Bored? Oh man this is funny. Well, tuck these suggestions away for future reference, huh? LOL
