What's in a name?

So we've been to the doc many times since the last baby post, and everything is going great...praise God! We have seen the progression of the growth in the ultrasound, and you can actually see little hands and feet and legs and brains...which is awesome and crazy that you can see brains. =) Anyway, Sarah and I have been talking about baby names. We have gone though many phases...

The Biblical Names Phase - Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, David, Zerubabbel, Mechelzidek, Yeshuah, (okay some of those were made up just to be funny, but you get the picture)

Names after famous people - John Mayer Gonzalez, Billy Graham Gonzalez, Denzel Washington Gonzalez, Hayden Panettiere Gonzalez, Hiro Nakamura Gonzalez, Jack Bauer Gonzalez, etc. (I think I'm the only one who went through this phase)

The Names That Make Funny Initials - Frank Alan Gonzalez, Harry Andrew Gonzalez, Hayden Ray Gonzalez (that's for you Heroes fans...yes I'm a nerd).

Trendy Names (that are commonly misspelled to make them different from their classic counterpart) - Kelsea (not to be confused with Kelsey), Maegan (not Megan), Kaela (not Kayla), Ashlee (not Ashley). Usually these use the crazy vowel combinations

The "ayden" names - Hayden, Kaeden, Cayden, Jayden, Aiden, Aeden, Aidin; (More of an offshoot of the Trendy Names, this sub category usually combines the crazy vowel combination with the commonly misspelled to make a plethora of spellings and names)

The "lynn" names - Kaylynn, Ashlynn, Jocelynn, Jaylynn, Katelynn, etc.(Another sub-category of the Trendy Names, it also uses the misspell tactic throwing in a little crazy vowel combo action)


And there we are...we don't have any idea yet if it's a boy or girl (we won't know for another month or so). So here's where you come in...any suggestions?
