My gf and I are in the process of trying to concieve and if that doesnt work then adopt. I have a few names selected. I have always been more fond of girl names than boys. I am up for suggestions for boys and girls. Middle names too.

Arwen Grey
Winter
Willow
Aslinn Winter
Lyra
Jocelyn
Josephine
October
Camilla/Camille
Rain
Peyton

Atticus Reed
Atticus Dean
Gideon
Elliot

Josephine and Camilla/Camille are the only two I'd use from your girls' list. The rest are either too hippie, too masculine, or words (as opposed to names), though some have a nice sound.

From the boys list, I like Elliot. The rest are either too surnamey or too literary for my taste (Atticus).

That is the only thing I have doubts about with Atticus..Is it too much of a literay..but at the same time I love it. But thanks for your opinions.

I think a lot of people (not saying you, just a lot of people) love the literary association more than the name itself. It doesn't have an especially pleasant sound, but it has such a great literary association people overlook that.

Don't think the literary association itself should kill it. However, I have trouble imagining a kid called Atticus.
