I never imagined that choosing names for my children would be so difficult. We didn't choose LB's name till the final days... but we did have a name for her before she was born.
We are having NO luck with agreeing on a boy name. A name which ideally won't be TOO common (like Bob or Joe), and not too odd, be pronounceable in English AND Polish (the tough part) or at least have a Polish version.
Before LB was born, we had Lukasz chosen for a boy. Lucas, but spelled the Polish way. (And in Polish it sounds like WOO-cash, which I don't particularly like.) Now I'm leaning towards James because it's always been my favourite boy name, but that would mean that the short-form of LB's name and his name would be the same as Harry Potter's parents. Jakob is also a possibility... it's the closest name to James in Polish. But the short-form of it is Kuba... which to me is something you'd name a dog.
So, help me out. Send me any and all boy names you like, or think might work for us, or whatever.
To help you out, here are a few of the names we've already nixed:
- Ezekiel
- Zenon
- Zachary
- Helmut
- Heinrich
- Oswald
- Casper
- Boris
- Bernard

We were between Graham and Nicholas when our son was born.
im partial to casper. he was the friendly version of me afterall. but seriously, can you get more hardcore than helmut? that effin rocks.
I'm with you on James (it's also my grandfather's name) as a favorite. I also really like the names Noah or Benjamin.
if des had been a boy, she would have been sascha. we also liked luca and wolfgang (shortened to wolf).
it's super tough, i agree! we had only the one girl's name for bub, so lucky she looks like desirée nova!
I err on the weirder side of names. I liked Sterling, Everett, Emmerson, Weldrick, etc. before we knew Elayne was going to be a girl.
How about Josef? It's Hungarian, but that name is common all over Eastern Europe - also my father and grandfather's name. Good luck!
