So...
I've been a dad-to-be for about 9 weeks now. I've seen our first ultrasound.
Erin is beginning to show, her appetite is steadily growing in breadth and quanitity, and one topic has begun to regularly resurface in conversation: baby names.
Of course, at this point it's not yet possible to tell the gender of our child (bones are just now beginning to form according thebump.com), so we've been considering both boy's names, girl's names, and some gender neutral fare. Every trip to Barnes & Noble or Borders is incomplete without swinging by the parenting section to look at baby name books.
It's a bit of a tough matter though, since Erin and I want our child's name to be meaningful one and not too common. It's easier to rule out names than it is to zero in on our favorites, so here's a list of names we will most likely not be naming our child (in no particular order):
- Super Street Fighter IV
- Fender Telecaster
- Hybrid
- Samus Aran
- Princess Peach
- Awesome
- Mario Kart
- Stuart Murdoch (Erin just doesn't like the name Stuart)
- Boss Reverb
- Alien Ressurection
- Spot 2
- Crow (the superhero or the robot)
- Shigeru Miyamoto
Link and Zelda have not yet been eliminated from the list.
