So what to name the next messiah? That is what Alex and I have been thinking about every night before we fall asleep lately. Its a big decision you know? I mean what if Mary and Joesph named Him Rodney or Clancy or Harry Potter? I mean Jesus Christ is a heavy name was it popular in those days? I mean was there 5 Jesus Christs in His class?
Well this will be our first baby so we should try to pick a good one. We could make one up but then he (or she!) will have to endure years of teachers and colleagues trying to pronounce it and asking "is that Slavic?" Or we could name it after a famous person or a friend- but what happens if at some point they find out Albert Einstein was a fraud or a friend of ours steals a car or robs a bank? Bad karma for the kid. My sister and brother have ruled out a few names because they have dibs for their future children. We DEFINITELY CAN NOT name it some thing that everyone now is naming their kids. I've heard of a lot of Jacks, Olivias, and Emilys lately and although those are all great names and ones Alex and I have considered, its not so fun to have a name that everyone else has. Mom said that Michele or Michelle came into popularity after the Beatles song but before that there were hardly any Michelles. That's why I believe Harry is in the top 5 most popular names.
We could name it something Welsh since it will be born here - that's an option- but we haven't found any yet that we really like and that also aren't so long.
So I'm open for suggestions but reserve the right to comment on names like Barbie, Candy, or anything resembling a porn name.

madeline would be my first choice for you, and, if a boy, madelino.
i dont have dibs on anything. you can name your baby whatever you want. nobody knows if alpha or i will ever have kids, and it would be a shame if 20 years from now we have to name our dogs and goldfish carmen or helen by default for lack of children. so i say both of those names are on the table for you.
harry is good!
