As all things in my life, I did a retarded amount of research into naming kids. So my first son ended up with Blake. My research showed that a good name would be different from most other names, but not so different as to alienate them.
My second son is named Brock, it fits a similiar bill as Blake, but mostly I named him after Brock Sampson of Venture Bros. fame. Love that guy.
Fun fact, I almost named my first son Archer, this was before the TV show of the same name. So if I had named him Archer, both of my sons would be named after cartoon spies who slept with a lot of women.
Another fun fact, I had three dogs(before my first son became allergic to them), and their names were Bubby, Britany, and Brandy. Notice a pattern?
And yes, I often call my sons Block and Brake.

Because my name is Tarik, an extremely rare name where I'm from, I'm more or less obligated to give any children I have unusual names. I'm always worried when things like this come up because I don't want people stealing the names I've picked (I'm paranoid like that).
Malcolm or Luke for boys and Anna or Anna Lee for girls. Then again we'll see what my partner has to say 
Nah too much work. I'm going to use Tv Tropes for mine. Hit the random trope button, open up the western animation sub tab, then select the first appropriate name I see.DoPo said:
If my son was born this minute, his name would be Lawrence, Daughter's name would be Jem.

Cookie for the reference.
OT: Can't say I've really thought of it before. Having kids isn't exactly on my list of priorities. That being said, I like the idea of naming my firstborn son Vivi.
Mono-zygotic twins? Better include the time of birth down to the second, just in case such a situation happens.DoPo said:
Sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Kind of surprised I haven't heard of any yet honestly (especially among those TV families with blank-teen kids).Matthew94 said:
To answer the OP, I've thought of 2 per gender and my GF thought of 1 per gender. For me they're;
Vincent, Jack, Sabrina and, Emily
Names that she's thought up;
Edgar and, Victoria.
Kaidan for a guy and Hazel for a girl. My lady and I spoke at length about it and that's what we've agreed to.
My first son would be named Virgil Liam Kelly.
My first daughter would be named Molly Guinevere Kelly.
My second son would be named Sean Riley Kelly.
My second daughter would be named Leona Clair Kelly.
I've put a good deal thought into these names. They are uncommon enough that my children can take pride in them and,as names go, they fit together well.
Unlike my sister who is going to name her soon to be born baby girl Dakota Sue Carpenter. I could rage about that name for hours but that's not what this thread is about. I've already told her I will never call that child by its given name. I will make up a nickname and stick with it forever.

I've accumulated a list of names I've heard over the years that I liked the sound of. I made sure to write them down so I would remember them - so here we go.

I hope that the day I have kids I'll have a boy and a girl, the boy will be Daniel Alexander (both being names that I find elegant yet casual, also slightly inspired by Amnesia: The Dark Descent's main character and villain) and the girl will be Elizabeth Marie (Elizabeth taken from the upcoming Bioshock Infinite game and Marie because it seems like a fitting middle name to go with it). But I also have a few extra names just in case I don't get what I want, names like James (Fallout 3), Henry (Amnesia, taken from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa), Sam/Samantha, Katherine or Caroline (all three random names I like).
At the moment, I would name them after my grandparents because I myself, am named after my grandfather. I thought of a lot of other options, such as the continuation of names (II or Jr.), but I would want to honor and remember my grandparents by naming my future kids after them.
