A typical human baby.
Last week Paul from Stockport needed you to tell him what to do before he’s thirty. You acquitted yourselves most adequately, so this week we’re giving you an even greater challenge, courtesy of Matt:
What am I going to call my baby (due in 5 weeks time)? The criteria are as follows:
Need a boy’s and a girl’s name.
Nothing to live up to e.g. Grace.
Nothing that that has been used in X-Factor, Big Brother (etc) in the past few years.
Finally, nothing too weird or too popular – aiming for only one in class.
We haven’t received word from Matt that he will definitely saddle the impending mini-Matt with an Answer Me This!-generated name, but just the prospect that he might is surely enough to get you thinking, commenting and NAMING THAT BABY! Go!

Thanks to all those who left comments on this thread. Our little girl was born last Thursday and we’ve decided to call her Mary Dorothy.

Josh…heard of John Sergeant?
Also, the name 4Real was rejected because it had a number in it.

Personally I like Preston i’d Charlie, and I don’t car about girls names

I heard you can name babies absolutely anything you want except for:
military ranks (confusing if they ever joined the army [see Catch 22])
and names starting with numbers (too hard to alphabetise)

Maria all the way 🙂

I would say Cosmo or Bono for a boy – unusual but not stupid. (I think)
How about Fiona for a girl? Or Ping-gwyn?

And I have to ask, “tidbib3”, wtf?!

My favourite girl names are Ruby and Skyla.
The male version of Skyla is Skylar, which isn’t all that in my opinion.
For a boy, I quite like the names Adam and Aaron.

Old fashioned names are back in vogue but not so popular that they’ll be “the” name for this year. Something like Dorothy, or Nadine for a girl and George or Samuel for a boy maybe?

I have a bit of a problem in that my top baby names are Ava or Ada for a girl and Asa for a boy. Obviously I can only saddle one of my offspring with such a similarly palindromic moniker else mass confusion would most certainly ensue, and it does cause me some anguish, however as I’m not pregnant, nor likely to be for a very long time, so feel free to use any/all of my names and adopt my dilemma.

Yes, I made mistake on name! SORRY MATT! SORRYSORRYSORRY!!!
See, this is why AMT and work don’t mix! Shame I’m on my lunch break…

I can’t believe you are throwing this HUGE thing on us, Paul! But, as you have, let me think about this…
Jamie or Jacob jump to mind… But they’re boys names. Girl’s name… er… Helena. Angela, maybe?
