That reminds me of a friend some years back who named her son Colton.

At the time, I thought she was nuts, but now I have to admit I kind of like it.

Jessie, I'm glad you like "Sky". I think that's a name that would grow on you, sounds better with your last name than Oak.....

*shrug* Graham is a cracker. Most names have some product
association. My name reminds New Yorkers of hot dogs.

Well, my husband is 100% Irish, we got engaged in Ireland, conceived our first child in Ireland, and our last name is Driscoll. If we did pick an Irish name, we'd want a fairly easy spelling of it.

Do people know of any names with one of the syllables being "Len"? Not Leonard.

I went to high school with a guy named Len. It wasn't an abbreviation; his name really was Len.

Hmm...

Len
Lenny (or perhaps Squiggy?)
Arlen (good name for a spectre)
Lentil
Allen
Valen (you are Minbari, right?)
Lenin

"Galen" is sort of nice, I think. . .

I always wanted to name my first son Sven, but my husband insists on Svenja for a girl instead. We'll see how inclined to compromise I'll be if I've just given birth.

We discussed naming any sons we might have Egil and Skallagrim just to be mean.

Ever consider Erle or Merle?

A merle is a breed of dog. If an Erle, why not the Duke?

Declen. It's usually spelled Declan though.
