I just went through this process and it was torture. (By the way, ctrl+f'd immediately and 0 out of 0) People thought we were being ridiculous by putting so much thought into it, but this is the name they are stuck with for life. Why wouldn't you think about it? I didn't want something that was easily made fun of, it had to pass the playground test. I didn't want something that meant something awful in another language. I wanted something unique but not stupid or pretentious, I just didn't want there to be 5 others of him in his class. I didn't want something that would be hard to say over the phone, or something that would constantly be misheard or mispelled. And I only thought so much about it because my wife and I both have names that don't pass most of those criteria. What we did is if you go to the social security website you can put in a name and check the popularity throughout the years. We wanted something that wasn't "making a comeback" so that there weren't a bunch of them in 10 years.
