No. Ours are both two-two. You just don't want like four-six. That seems a bit much.

After much thought let me give you some ideas:

Boys
Atticus.... I almost convinced my wife when our son was born. We too have a very common name. From a famous novel (to kill a mockingbird)

Jonas... bible name plus you can sing to him "my name is Jonas" whenever you want

Girls
Kira... almost named my daughter this. From the book "we the living"

Jane... I just like the name

We were going to name our first William James. But I had this nagging sense people would try to call him Billy. I didn't want a Billy.

For boys I like
Clayton, Jefferson, Nathaniel, Noah, William, Xavier.

Am I the only one that alphabetized my lists?

Whatever you choose, please do not contribute to the horrible trend of giving kids traditional names with "creative" spellings.

Parents who name their kids Micqueal and Catee and Joshuewa or Jaymms are horrible.

I agree. It's a crime against the child.

My first name is David....and a couple in my last ward gave their newborn son the same name,,but spelled it Dayvid instead.

Ugh.

Granted I haven't seen either of them in about 10+ years.

Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons, and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one, and calls out "Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!

This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn.
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt.
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt.
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate . . . .
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.
