I'm pregnant with my first, if it's a boy I have to name him after my father in law, but if it's a girl I get to choose. I know many common names but I want something unusual with a deep meaning. Thanks

A girl I work with has a little girl and they are Greek. She named her Athena, which is the Greek Goddess of War and Wisdom. Athena was also the "mascot" for the Canadian Womans Army Core. So she has been very influential in the modern world as well. Anyways, good luck finding a name, and with your new little one!
