    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)

    Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo ! Three of my favorite biblical characters. My wife didn't go for that either. So my sons are Benjamin Patrick and Daniel Allen.

    I think asking opinions is fine, but you should do what your hearts tell you and your wife, IMO.

    Children are a great gift indeed.

    Except in Flint, Michigan!

    As a member of the semi-unique name club, I'd like to offer this advice... if you give your kid an unusual name, give them a bog-standard middle name, so that they can choose for themselves who they want to be when they get older.

    I think that Mike, David, Nelson, Hank, Colin, Todd, Dee , Bradley, Glen, or perhaps Jamie would be among your best choices.


    Cheers

    It would help to know your last name, because I think the way both names sound together is important. At least, you don't want two names that sound weird together. That said, I really like Alasdair, Duncan and Lachlan. Also, my firstborn's name is Iain, which of course I like.
    For the record, I'm glad my parents didn't name me Jegudiel.

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

    Suck up. Ha.

    Yes, I like Michael

    My brother is Calum and sister is Seona. I like those names, too.

    And we all have Greig as middle names, apparently since 1745, when it couldn't be a last name.
