OK... I'm Japanese and my husband American.
We are having a baby boy in February...
Now here is a big problem for us.
Can't find a good name.
Well, actually can't find the one we both like.
Since I'm Japanese, I want to name our baby which is popular in both country, such as Ken, Joe, George, Sage, and so on.
However, my husband says
1. must sound powerful and strong
2. no 'unisex name' like 'Sage'
3. no nickname as proper name such as 'Joe' ('Joseph' is fine)
4. 'white name' is preferable.
5. not too short like 'Ken' or 'Jake'...
6. when you say first name + middle name + last name, you must be able to say with rhythm.
7. No way for 'George' because of GWB.
8. Proper name which can be called by a nickname too, such as David-Dave, William-Bill, and so on... So nothing like Jake, Ken, or Eric...
He prefers the name which doesn't sound strange in Japan too, but as long as he is picky that way, it is very difficult...
