Also, would you pick a name that agrees with your nationality? I have an aunt and Uncle who are expecting and they wre thinking, but I couldn't think of anything good.
Have you ever considered a name for your children?

My fiance and I have chosen the names for our future children... girl = Nila, boy = James.
He is 1/2 black and 1/2 white, I am Chinese, and we are both American. I'd like them to have a Chinese middle name.

i haven't thought of names yet, but i have a cousin (to be) that already named 2 of her children (and she's only been dating this guy for 1 -- yes, one -- month)...
one thing is certain.. i would not choose an eclectic name. it would have to be consistent with my nationality and my religion. i hate it when people make assumptions about people based on names. i'm going to try to eliminate that perception.

My girlfriend and I dont have children... not even close... and we know the names
Boy - Jeremy Christopher
Girl - Angela Lindsay
with the appropriate last name...

sometimes I think it is pointless to keep a ethnic name due to discrimination and such, however at times it seems important to maintain some type of heritage.
i was thinking about an eclectic name, but it would be murder for my son to be named, "Corleone." I always thought that would be such a cool name, but then I wouldn't want him to be embarrased and make me call him Carl.

I figured the middle name was a nice solution to that quandary.
good thinking with the middle name. However I like Nila for a name for a girl- very feminine
Thank you!
On a different note, I think girls can "get away" with more exotic/crazy names than boys. i.e. you can name a girl "Apple", but if you named a boy the same he'd never live it down. True story, I have two cousins... their parents wanted them to have "Westernized names", so my aunt watched cartoons and decided to name the children "He-Man" (a boy) and "She-Ra".
He-Man turned out to be a very sweet but skinny little Chinese guy, and She-Ra is a pretty Chinese girl. He-Man got so much crap he changed his name to "Kevin", but everyone still calls "Shera"... well, "Shera".

I think it's nice that they tried, but unfortunately He-Man got stuck with... He-Man. He still gets mad when I call him that, I think he changed it when he turned 13/14 or so.
I knew what I'd name my son from the time I was a kid (first name anyway). I just liked the name. I got overruled when my daughter was born, though. Got my choice for middle names (Erin) but my spouse didn't like my choice for first name (Ivy). :|

that must have sucked in school, but what a dumb thing for a kid to worry about. I understand though that parents were trying to stop he kids from being alienated anyway, but its a vicious cycle
What do you guys think about Corleone (first name) Shah(last name) If you think about it Shah=King, which could be equivalent to Don.
Corleone Shah=Don Corleone
It could work, couldn't it?
Corleone Shah=Don Corleone

Sorry, but that's funny as hell! i can't stop laughing over here. I feel bad for the guy but its a pretty funny story.
My father-in-law's side of the family is Greek so we called our son Nicholas and gave him a Greek middle name that's been passed down to most of the guys on her dad's side of the family for the last couple of generations.
This is cool, but the problem is that our son's middle name is this long 4-syllable Greek name that sounds different from the spelling AND I've got a German last name that constantly gets misspelled and/or mispronounced.

The woman decided that the names would be Alexa for a girl and Aiden for a boy, after I offered up Onenn and Vougay. She also decided to make that month "Sex Free Month" and ignored me for two days.
