Names

Boy: Sagan

Girl: Druyan


....brownie points to anyone that can figure out where they are both from, and how they're related. :)

Of course, these names will never be used, every time I have the "naming kids discussion" with a girl I'm dating, I give these names, and why, and am universally told, "Ugh, that sucks.". :p

As for names that probably would get used:

Boy: James, Samuel (my father's name)

Girl: Sarah, Barbara, Helen
 
My kids are named Julia and Peter. Their mom is big on unique names, so Julia has two middle names and Peter's middle name is pretty uncommon (I'm hesitant to post their full name on the web - I don't know why) ...but anyway, if you want something unique or strange give them a unique middle name and a more traditional first name. That way, when they are older they can choose whether or not to use the strange name they have been tagged with and they don't have to go to kindergarten and spell some bizarre name that nobody's ever heard of.
