I am having my 4th boy in october & i am stuck for names :/

My other children are -
Russell Douglas Hutchison
Nairn Thomas Hutchison
Hamish Andrew Hutchison

This boy will be .... Stuart Hutchison.
Names that i currently like are Adair, Mack & Brodie. My husband does not want to use any names that start with R, N or H. We only want a scottish/Gaelic/celtic name & we dont want a popular name at all.

Any ideas or opinions?

the meaning of Faith..

[irishjewel413.livejournal.com]

So I have a funny little comment to tell you all that my dad made about me changing the baby's name to Faith. So right now I'd like it to be Faith Liliana or Faith Olivia. Originally it was going to be Liliana but due to recent events and the split with my abusive bf I feel like Faith is so much more appropriate.

So my dad absolutely hates it. He said in the 60s apparently drug addicts named their babies Faith. I started laughing at him when he said that. Whether that WAS the case or not, its not the 60s anymore and when I and anyone I've asked think of the name Faith, they think of religion, belief in something positive, something good...not drug addicts!

What do you all think? I just had to tell you all that.

What do you all think of Loretta?  I was listening to "Get Back" by the Beatles on my drive home today and thought I kinda like it, and would probably use Etta as a nickname.  Mentioned it to my husband and he instantly said no way because it reminds him of Loretta Lynn which reminds him of country music, of which we are not fans.

Name question

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Vaguely OT, but this seemed like a pretty good place to ask. If a child is abandoned and no one knows its name, where does the name come from? You see stories about hospital personnel naming babies Angel, Precious, or whatever, but where does the child's legal name come from? Particularly its last name? Say a baby is abandoned at a hospital - it is never identified, no one ever claims it - the child can't go through life without a name. Even if they give it a first name, how would a last name be given? Also assuming the child is never adopted, lets say it stays in the foster care system until 18.
