I think I need an intervention

[emisi]

So I'm trying to pick a boy name. I don't really like boy names as much as girl names - I tend to think of them as kind of blah and boring. The ONLY name I have come up with that I LOVE is Oliver. Everything else is just meh.

Problem: my last name ends in -ver. They sound very sing-song together.

I'm actually thinking of giving the kid a hyphenated name with my maiden name in there, so it sounds right, even though I don't go by my maiden name.

Is this acceptable, or do I need help?

I would not hyphenate if you don't.

Siiiiigh. You're probably right. I guess I should get a baby names book.

I tried babynamewizard.com, but most of the ones I found were just eh. I did kind of like Milo, but H replied with "& Otis," so I don't think I can use that.

His favorite name is Harvey. Harvey. Because that doesn't invoke a big invisible white rabbit WAY more than Milo invokes a little orange kitten.

So if anyone wants to vote and help me out, my names list (so far) is at www.babynames.com/namelist/9813899.

Nymbler is also a really great website. It suggests names based on your current favorites.
