Pregnant? or Thinking About Getting Someone Pregnant? Sick of Trend-Happy Baby-Namer Sites? Try These Baby Names. Practically Nobody's Using These Baby Names.
A lot of these have the advantage of sounding kind of traditional-sounding, without being (as far as I know) actually traditional. So you won't wake up one day to find that everybody else hopped on the same name tribe trend at the same time as you (all searching the same web pages, most like) and your tyke is now one of 3 Eoins in his class. You're safe with this site as your baby-naming resource! Only like, 20 people tops ever read here, and as far as I know, only one is expecting.
Baby names away!
For a Boy (meanings for each name in "quotes"):
1. Gwennar ("far-seeing")
2. Thieb ("works with what he has")
3. Ristopher ("deadly with two blades")
4. Jickard ("surprisingly intelligent")
5. Karvald ("hard-walking stranger")
6. Gilbob ("servant of bob")
7. Rghn'chn ("dreaming of awaking")
8. Demogorgon ("prince of lies")
For a Girl (ditto, meanings in "quotes"):
1. Lyralha ("luck from the wind")
2. Owena ("water-gatherer")
3. Jaspette ("finder of lost stars")
4. Aesthae ("broken by faith in fate")
5. Jennifer (meaning unknown, possibly made-up)
6. Charltholomew ("filler of fine barrels")
7. Raeselle ("woman of two minds")
8. Berticia (female equivalent of Bert. You can do this with a lot of other boy names using the ol' +icia, no need for me to spell that one out. Johnnyicia. Christophericia.)
So as you can see, apart from that last one, there are no formulas. Just pick one you like and run with it. It could be one from these lists, or from some other list. Or you could try a random name generator of some kind, and end up with a kid named IJNID or ELPO.
Once you have the name picked out, you may not yet be home free. If you're having trouble getting pregnant, keep trying. I find one thing that helps is, if both of you focus on the baby's name that you're "trying for", and then when the right time comes, yell that out. Yell out the baby-name. It just sort of reinforces your shared openness, to bringing that new life into the world. Plus, it's kind of a fairness issue for the prospective kid. I know a lot of kids who, if their parents had been shouting out the name they were going to end up getting saddled with at the crucial moment, that kid would have been like, "uh...maybe I'll try for a spot over in Indonesia, instead."
Note: dudes. If you're going to go for the baby-calling strategy, make sure you've made it plain with your partner beforehand that that is what you're doing. It's not going to serve as a plausible after-the-fact excuse. "Who the hell is Lyralha?"

You don't have to answer that! I respect your anonymity.
This has nothing to do with dumb baby names, this is all about setting a record for the longest blog post title.
I ended up having to re-post it from scratch, essentially, without the typo in the title. But that might have just been some glitch.
Still, I think I've got one that's longer! Someplace.
The next pet I get, I'm going to name him Reynolds. I feel like that will add a certain businesslike tone to the relationship. Like I'm his boss, who calls him by his last name.
"Reynolds! Get in here."
"Good job, Reynolds."
"Reynolds, did you s*** on your desk?"
Well okay, that last one is taking things too far, a pet should not have a desk.
I love how you've turned the tables on them, whittled your moniker down to one slim initial. Very nice.
Humanity might, just might have a chance at survival!
