Whatever you do Do Not take a normal name and give it some stupid spelling ... like spelling Christina as Crystyna or Britany with three 'M's and a silent 'Q'

For more examples of what not to do:
Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing


I've tried to come up with some Australian Marsupial names with those letters (not easy)

Echidna (not a marsupial)
Sugar Glider
Ringtailed Possum


Now if you weren't set on those letters there's some real beauties:
Bandicoot
Quoll
Pademelon
Numbat

Parts of that are funny and I certainly am against the ridiculous spelling variation naming concept (though the editorial comments are pretty craptacular - someone who thinks they are funny but can't write or spell worth shit).

Here's one section I disagree with wholeheartedly (other than the "from a boy" comment ):

We have a 4 year old girl named Luna & I'm 8 months pregnant now from a boy. (I should think so!) We were thinking about : Lucca (He lives on the second floor.) Matteo Milan Mathio Keanu (Duuuuuude!) Could someone suggest us some other special names for a boy please... Sure! Triste! Firenze! Roma! Venezia! Vespa! Con Carne! Bicicletta! Amontillado! Vente-uno! Coloseo! Proscutto! Cavalleria Rusticana! Parmagiana! Ponte Veccio! Stronzo! Espresso! Dean Martin!

My first son is named Matteo and I think we hit that one out of the park - it is far and away my favorite name choice of all my kids or any name I've ever heard for a kid. It is familiar and yet unique - Italian for Matthew. And my last name is Italian so I needed the vowel ending and that's tough for boy's names. And it has a handy shorthand nickname built in (Teo). Matteo hovers around 600-800th place on the Social Security site list of baby names so it is in use but definitely unique enough without being outrageous.

By the way, Wombat, you may want to check the Social Security name site:

http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

It is a great way to get name ideas and also see which ones are too popular (so you don't have to give your kid a nickname to differentiate them from the 3 other kids in their class with the same name).

As you can see Sophia and Samantha are 9th and 10th for 2006 so there's a good chance there will be 2 or 3 in every class while she grows up if you name her one of those names (though I still like Sophia). And for god's sake don't pick Emily or Emma - there are 100's of those in every school!

Ok, so if I was to have a girl, I would call her

Windy

(From the Awesome Association Song) or Imoen of Baldurs Gate Fame

Your lucky I'm even allowing you to find out this secret Heat, but I am feeling generous after all, congratulations Wombat.

Elizabeth Scott <something - I don't know what your last name is>

It carries on the long tradition of people who have 'Scott' as their middle name.

I almost put a silent 'Q' in my daughter's name just to screw with her:
Samanthaq

Years of torment would have laid ahead of her as her teachers called out: Samanthaq and then she corrected them with, "The Q is silent... Shhhhh...."
