I weep for the next generation of escapists.
Knowing personally a Jonny English and a Vicky Pollard, I am all too aware of the hardships faced by people with unusual names. So i'd probably go with something run of the mill like Sam or James for boys, Rebecca or Sophie or something for girls.

If I was going to be cruel I might go for James Clarke Maxwell for the boy, which isn't even that bad, although it would be harder for the girl because 'curie' would be an odd middle name.

In all truth, i'd probably let the mother decide.

As for the time being (since I would need to discuss the child naming with my wife)-

If it's a boy- James (eventhough that name remine me of this dickhead back in High school), Ryan, Liam or maybe Michael (a cousin of my is named Michael so that could be confusing).

If it's a girl- Kelly, Emma, Rachael or Faye.

If I have a daughter, her name's gonna be Lyra (after Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials).
With boy names, I'm at a loss. Maybe something from DC like Wally, Bruce or Hal.

I tried the point to a random word thing and came out with derby, as well as Olympic games

Alex, Elliot or Griffon. Regardless of gender.
If it's good enough for my pokémon, it's good enough for them.

My first child will be named Agent Orange, regardless of gender.
My second child will be named Zippo if its a boy, and Lucy if its a girl.
If I have a third child I will name him Max: Reaper of Worlds. If my third child happens to be a girl, then I'll feed her to a lion.

I'd want them to have fairly timeless normal names that they could break out in full for formal events but shorten for normal life. Alexander or Nicolas are pretty good for boys. For girls, Katherine or Elizabeth. Those sorts of deals.

Although some sort of hexadecimal system for coding them would probably help for when we started conditioning them.

Son names include Vincent, Alois, Isaac or Xavier.

My partner has agreed if we have a daughter he gets to name her since I get to name any sons. His ideas for girls names are Shilo, Catherine or Elliot.

Hmm... Gabriel is a good name, and I'm not even religious. Also the name Agatha is surpisingly easy to get used to.

I wonder if I can get away with naming my child OTHAR TRYGVASSEN, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!

My future wife will probably have some say in it so I dont think I will be able to get away with calling my son Gandalf or my daughter Gertrude (von crusher: middle name).

I really like the name Michelle for a girl. For a boy, I want to start a tradition. My first name is Tor (More common Norwegian spelling of Thor) and I'd like to pass it on, but as with me along with another name which I haven't decided on yet. I think I'd have to see the bugger first.

I'm a fan of "old-fashioned" sounding names. I like Hannah or Emma for a girl and Alaric or Calvin for a boy.

I'll never have kids, though, so it doesn't really matter what I think. Haha.
