I've actually done quite a bit of thinking about this. For the boys I'm thinking Marshall, Lamar, Benjamin, Chris, Hoyt, Robert, Lee, Lestor, Curtis, Alan, Floyd, James, Eugene, Stuart or any host of other names picked from male ancestors, rock and roll singers, the Bible or Confederate war heros. For the girls I'd pick Betty, Abigail, Francis, Derotha, Debora, Ruth, Lynn, Annelle, Catherine, Caitlin, Earcell, Mary, Anna, Mary-Anne (one of relatively few multiple names that I like), Varina, Howell or any host of other names picked from female ancestors, influential teachers, the Bible or the wive's Confederate war heros.
The mother of any of my children would have final say in what they are named (family tradition, and it seems fair), though I'd like to have a big family so maybe she'll let me pick one or two of the names.
