Two of my friends had baby boys recently. It's making me think again about the enormity of finding a good name for ours!

After some hemming and hawing, Morgan (whose real name is Eric but has gone by his middle name for 15+ years) and Nicole named their little boy Duncan Alexander. My husband and I both really like the name. It suits their personalities completely.

Jennifer and Nick have given their daughter Sophie Jamie a little brother named Liam Blake.

I think when it comes to our second, it's really going to be a case of "see what he looks like" first. With Henry, it was more, "Okay, this is the ONE name we both like." Now, we have a name that is about 70% likely to be The Name, but I keep mentally holding out for something that's going to stun me with the perfection of it. Plus, I had another, "Geez, this would be easier if it was a girl!" moment the other day. *sigh*

Would it be weird to give a boy the name Grace as a middle name? My husband has decided that Melbourne (one of his grandfathers' names) is really too heavy a burden to place on a kid, so I was thinking of going with the name of one of his grandmothers. I was wondering if George Grace MacD is too odd (though "G. G. MacD" has a hilarious ring to it). Every time I've asked my husband about it it genuinely seems to be as he's falling asleep for the night so I've yet to get an answer.

I don't think that Grace would be a food choice for a boy, I'm afraid. It's far too common as a middle name for girls and Gracie is a very common girl's first name.
