LOL I was thinking Atticus for a boy, Lauren Olamina for a girl
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7585214


I get Atticus. But Lauren Olamina? Where is that from? Sorry I don't get the reference.

LOL.

From "Parable of the Sower," by Octavia Butler, a personal favorite.

A second for a girl would be Katniss. I love strong female characters. So Scout would do, too, I s'pose, and Galadriel. Maybe Xena for a middle name. ;)

Funny I'm having a harder time thinking of stand-out boys' names which are unusual without being geeky. I certainly would not, for instance, want to burden a child of mine with a name like Frodo or Gandalf.

I looked up the name as you were posting.

Thanks. Beautiful name, BTW. Xena is awesome, as well.
I would also add Buffy to that, by way of tough girl names. Knew one as well once, too.

LOL.

EVERYONE should read Parable of the Sower.

Buffy.... great character, not such a great name. I had a best friend named Buffy in jr high lo these many years ago, long before the Vampire Hunter. She hated it, and frankly it always sounded to me like a toilet paper brand or something. (She's since changed it.) ;) I'd go for Willow, though!
