The problem I keep having is that sooner or later, everything sounds ridiculous!
I think "simple and normal" is winning, though. (I mean, we could name him Victor, but really, that's just asking for it.) So, the latest additions to the list are all things like Benjamin and Matthew instead of more clever ones.
Actually, hang on, let me get my list ... last five things I put on it were Jacob, David, Stephen, Kevin, and Daniel. I crossed off Kevin right away, though, when I realized I was only thinking of it because Alice and Frank used it for their Kevin. And 'Stephen' runs into the 'named after dead people' problem, with Stephen McGivern.
