Names for Baby2

Becasue we can't call him/her Baby 2 forever, we are shortlisting some of our favorite names.

Please add some goodies if you can think of any, but here are my requirements:

1. The name must be gender specific
2. When you hear it, you should know how to spell it, and when you see the name, you should know how to say it. And I like original spelling - nothing spelled 'funky' or 'new'. Just give me a good old basic name.
3. The name must be just that - a human name - not a car part, a fruit, or a day of the week. And nothing made up either.
4. I don't want anything too popular (I don't want this little one to go to kindergarted with 6 other people in the class with the same name)
5. It must go with Lanteigne (So Lilly Leila Lanteigne may sound nice, but it is out - she'd have to be a super hero!)
6. And I don't want to use a first name that is already in our immediate family - I can be somewhat original

See, I have a lot of rules, but what else do you expect from me? :)

Ok, so here are our names so far:

Boy Names:
Andy

That's it, so if you can think of more, please let us know!

Girl Names:
Penny
Evelyn (we'd call her Evy)
Monica
Brigette
Natalie (my recent favourite)

love it! We have a lot of the same requirements.

Then again, my oldest has the initials EE and she isn't a superhero.

And here I sit with a un named baby who is 48 hours old.

I like Andy too Gabe and Amy.
I've always liked Andrew, and then call him Drew.
It's not too common, yet very individual I think.

Warmest wishes to you all as you wait for this little one.

Ted & Helen.

Here's a crazy thought plus they are nice names you already have an Owen why not a Luke or an Andrew next...
