16 Weeks, 6 Days...What's in a name, part 4 (a name for a lifetime)

We tossed around some name ideas for you last night but came to no solid conclusions. We are going to have a short list and decide what feels right for you when the three of us meet face to face. Your name must be enduring enough to last a lifetime, yet immediate enough to be accessible to a newborn; influenced by your personality, yet not dominating your persona. I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle of same-named people, neither do I want you judged by your name either. Generally speaking I like stronger, more distinct names over trendy ones. We kicked out Napoleon and Wolfgang. I like those names but wouldn't want you saddled through childhood with them. You can always have your name legally changed to them when you are old enough.
