Yes, I already checked out the chapter on names in Freakonomics. Thus, naming this next son is very important to me. The name needs to be adventurous, unique, but not one that would give him a complex.

Just remember, your child will have to live with this name for the rest of his life.  I have an unusual name, and I admit, it gets annoying having to constantly correct people on pronunciation or spelling.  Please, be kind to your child!

Not to unusual and hopefully not enough for your brother to shoot down either.  Good luck with it all.
We named one of our daughters Xanthe and she loves it.  She writes her initial everywhere because she likes how it resembles a treasure map....

I'm naming my third son.  My wife already named the dog "Lily".

My wife and I like unusual names that don't sound so strange that the kid will be mocked or beat up. But then again, I've known a lot of kids in normal names that were mocked and got beat up.

Wow, now I feel like I can name the baby anything and people in Utah won't find it strange. Wait, I don't live in Utah.  :o

The name is Ian Paul.

We were seriously considering Orion and Elijah and hadn't really consider Ian, but once my wife and I saw the boy, he looked more like an Ian than an Orion or Elijah.  Funny how that worked out. Thanks for all of the help and, consider how few girls are born into the family, I will keep these name suggestion on boy names in mind.

I like it. My husband entertained the name "Ian" for our last, but it just didn't suit the baby.

I approve of that name. Especially because it reminds me of Adrian Paul.
