What's in a name..?

Quite a bit apparently!

How any child gets named is beyond me.  Mikey and I have been discussing this issue for at least 3 months now and are still no further forward.

Granted we aren't exactly making things easy for ourselves (and maybe over-thinking it a tad!) but it is seriously no mean task.

Firstly we have to work doubly hard as we are not finding out the sex - that's at least 2 options for boy and girl -plus middle names
Then we have to find something which sounds the same when pronounced with either an English or American accent (harder than you think)
I have a thing about funky spelling so it has to have only one possible spelling option
Of course, it has to be a name which doesnt conjure up some memory of an awful teaching experience (that also narrows the field quite significantly!)
Finally - we have to agree - oh my!.

So having perused websites, baby name books, dictionaries, gardening catalogues and pregnancy books I turned in desperation to the one place I knew would be able to help - the Baby Name Genie (cue magical ta da type music)

For the uninitiated, the BNG is a lovely chap who grants you three wishes - that is to say - he provides you with 3 perfect name options for your baby - and all you have to do is tell him which sex and your surname.  Piece of cake!

Here are the names he granted me in wishes today.  Now I have high hopes for our child of course - so I have added some potential career choices we shall offer him/her should we decide to take the Genie's advice:

Ivan Anthony Hoyt - Gladiator
Jason Axel Hoyt - Heavy Metal Guitarist
Bo Hunter Hoyt - I think this one speaks for itself - kind of limits his weapon choice

Tess Celeste Hoyt - Porn Star
Daphne Shelby Hoyt - Daytime Soap Actress
Jessica Cindy Hoyt - Pageant Queen

Back to the drawing board I guess.  Feel free to make any suggestions in the comments box!
