I'm sorry if I'm being a butt hole. Really, I am. I just can't help it, stupid baby names is a huge pet peeve of mine. I understand that you don't want your kid to be like every other kid. But does giving him/her a wacked name accomplish that?
 
Regarding the birth of our eldest- I was checking out the bottle of prenatal vitamins that my VERY pregant wife was taking and made a goof about how they were to be taken before having a Nate. Nathan. Nathaniel.

We added Nathaniel to our short list and wouldn't you know it? After the nurse weighed and wrapped him, I held him up again for Mom to see and brought him around to her side. Nearly delerious after hours of labor, a C-section and bringing a 12lb boy into this world she looked me right in the eye... well, close anyway...and said, "He's not pre-Nate any more. Nathaniel (gift from god) he is..."

And he has been.

Nathaniel has been relegated to his signature. We refer to him as Nathan in our conversations, and have caved in to calling him Nate much of the time in person because that's what everyone else calls him. Just don't let Nat(gnat) catch on. :no:Edited to add that he is currently a psych/writing/music student- all of which "Nathaniel" suits so perfectly on paper, IMHO. ;)

Moops, are you from Israel?

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Facebook-Obsessed-Couple-Names-Baby-Like-121901284.html?dr;cf03800516=3FFEF7CDD!NTAxNzg2MjEzOmNvcnByYWRpdXNzc2865RDzaRj3XWdktCyhqFbxKQ

An Israeli couple likes Facebook so much that they named their newborn daughter "Like." You know as in the like icon on the popular Palo Alto-based social-networking site.

"To me it is important to give my children names that are not used anywhere else, at least not in Israel," the father told the German Press Agency dpa. "If once people gave Biblical names and that was the icon, then today [the Facebook Like] is one of the most famous icons in the world."

Like is Lior and Vardit Adler's third child. The other two are named Dvash (Hebrew for "Honey") and Pie.
