OK, I've got 15 weeks left before this baby is coming out and danimal and I have zero names. I am well aware that 15 weeks is still a long time to go, but I am going to need some time to really mull over the names before I can actually give it to a child. We do not know what we're having so we need a boy's and a girl's name.

So bring it on. Let's hear your ideas. What are some names that you liked, but maybe your spouse vetoed? Or names of your exes? People you admire? People you hate? It doesn't matter. We've gone through three name books already and have come up high and dry.

Really. But for my wife's intransigence this would have been my oldest's name.

boy or girl?

For girl I also wanted Chantal or Enchantee but my wife vetoed these as well.

We're naming our boy Henry James. I don't mind if you steal it.

That name is very "Thomas the Train" friendly. I approve.

We're looking for a Dieter train in our household.

My son noted during conference that he used to be able to play with Gordon, Thomas, and James. Then it was Gordon, Thomas, and Henry. But now that it's Thomas, Henry and Dieter, "Diesel" is just not good enough (though I kind of like the name Diesel Uchtdorf)...

Diesel is also a very mean to the steamies.

Diesel 10? Major attitude problem.

I like Dennis, who is really lazy and tries to get out of working. I can relate to Dennis.

My nephew and his wife were thinking of naming their baby "Diesel". Apparently, "Unleaded" was taken. Thankfully, they picked something else.

How many syllables is your last name? (This is of the utmost importance in Barbara's guide to baby names.)
