I tried a baby name finder online, but it came up with all sorts of ridiculous names (random sampling: Blayze, Bear, Heathcliff, Cambridge). So I'm soliciting ideas here.
Guidelines:
- No names that start with A, K, O, P, S, T
- Prefer that it not be a classic American boys' name (John, Michael, James, William)
- Prefer no overly trendy names (Aiden, Caden, Jayden, Ethan)
- No explicitly religious names or non-Indian/Hindu ethnic names (no Obediah or Jafar)
- No prep-school WASPy names (Preston, Blake)
- Both sets of grandparents have to be able to pronounce it
All suggestions are welcome!
K's suggestions: Radiator, Flash, or Shiny Frank.
I'm looking through a baby name list, trying to compile a list of names I don't object to (with JW's reaction in parentheses):
Cole ("eh")
Max (not too bad, but has become trendy)
Dexter (veto, because of the serial killer show. JW: "How about Baxter?" Me: "No, that sounds too much like a badger or beaver.")
Gage? ("Sounds like a wrestler. Shiny Frank is better.")
Ray (no, because K's name already means "ray of light")
Warren (veto, because we know someone with this name)
Cade? ("Cade?" "Yes. It means 'round or lumpy.'" "Maybe.")
Colin (actually has some overlap with Indian names)
Me (looking at baby name list): "Kale? Like the vegetable?"
JW: "I'm sorry, did you say something?"
