Totally hypothetical. I don't really like kids lol.

[ilikeverin]

My preferred girl name is Hazel, after my paternal grandmother, who was adored by all.  However, if it's still "available" when it comes time for me to have kids, and if my husband likes the name, I'd consider checking with any living descendants of hers (except for my dad's brother, if he's still alive, whose opinion doesn't particularly matter to me) to make sure it's "okay".  I also like Harriet, Eleanor, and Nora.

Boy names?  I still have no idea.  Probably "Patrick" thrown in as a middle name as a nod to my brother and his future wife.  William?  Asher?  Theodore?

[Peter the Lefty]

Boys
1. Peter (not actually my real name, just a name I really like)
2. Benjamin
3. Timothy
4. Daniel
5. Lucas

Girls
1. Amanda
2. Annette
3. Madeline
4. Olivia
5. Taylor

For girls I like Gwen and Sophie a lot.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'd probably name my children after older family members or close friends. That puts Lisa, Maya, Judith, Lena, and Joseph in the running, in roughly descending order of how much thought I've given them.

[kcguy]

It's unlikely I'll ever have kids, but if I did, I'd probably try to give them names with the characteristics I like about my own name.

My name is Paul.  I like the fact that I've made it through life without being surrounded by Pauls.  (For example, I graduated from high school in a class of 200, and there was never another Paul in my class.)  While uncommon, it somehow also manages to be a perfectly normal name--no one ever asks how to spell it.  And it's not a name associated with a particular age--it's not a Donald, Linda, Brandon, or Tiffany.

Anyhow, my theoretical kids' names.

Boys:
1.  Adam
2.  Andrew
3.  Nathaniel/Nate
4.  Noah--if it weren't so popular
5.  Timothy

Girls:
1.  Bridget
2.  Meredith
3.  Robin--even if it does remind me of How I Met Your Mother
4.  Catherine
5.  Celia--because I'm drawing a blank

[Indy Texas]

Boys:
1. John
2. Andrew
3. Everett
4. Henry
5. Charles

Girls:
1. Eleanor
2. Emmeline
3. Maria
4. Clara
5. Isabel

Oh, yes, that's one of my favorite boy names!

Well, at least we know your kids will have plenty of *hughughugs* .

Tom Brady.

And you said Pittsburgh fans are insufferable!

Surprisingly a girl I know is okay with this.

@Patriots fans: Would it be acceptable to go full Bushie?
