    What about Crispin? I love the name but DH says no!

    I don't think Alastair is out there at all.

    @ohapostrophe: Those both made my short list! DH thought it was a joke too, unfortunately

    @.twist.: Nope, because I did the same thing. I was disappointed the first time, though. I was an elf and he broke up with me at the end of the game! I was pissed.

    I actually really like the name Remus from HP, and Prof Lupin was one of my favorite characters.

    wow. Can I just say I can't pronounce 3/4s of the names on your list!

    If #2 is a boy Xavier was a top contender for #1 before we found out gender. But not sure of the X-men reference!

    I like Tyrion and Alistair. I know real NYer named Alistair, so with his accent I think I butcher his name trying to say it like he does.

    Anakin would be so awesome. There is also Cadmus, Antioch, or Ignotus (the Peverell brothers from HP). I really like Cadmus Ray.

    I like Alistair too!

    You could always go Shakespearean -- Percy, Mercutio, Hamlet (or Hamnet - Shakespeare's son's name), Iago (call him Iggy), Cassio, Cassius, Laertes, Orlando, Timon, Antony etc (mostly non-lead names).

    I know a Thrace. I think it works for him. The parents say it isn't BSG-related, but c'mon.

    A friend of mine just named her son Kylan. It's not "nerdy" (that I know of), but it is Irish/Gaelic.
