Grady the Fourth, as in his great granddads name, his grandpa's name, and his dad's name. It's not like I would randomly stick a number in my child's name...

Yes, they're places. That's kind of the point, though. I like the thought of giving my kids cultural names in such a plain country. Magdalena is also a place, It's called Magdala, it's a very Biblical place. And the Pic de Ginevra is a painting by da Vinci. Milan is a gorgeaous Italian city, and Beauchamp is a location in France.

Although nothing is wrong with the names in and of themselves, if the child is going to be American (I'm assuming here, since you didn't say) you might take into account not only that most people won't be able to spell or pronounce the names properly, which can be frustrating, but that there can be an unconscious social stigma in having a foreign-sounding name. If your heart is set on them, though (and I know how it is to have your heart set on an unusual name ;)) Ginevre is cute, and I prever Grady over Beauchamp.. aren't Beauchamp (beauxchamps) and Milan both places? I hope that helps a little!

As a teacher I don't like any of them. When get the roll the first day of school I hate getting names like those because no matter what I am going to say them wrong. Your name is something that is very important and I think saying someone's name right is essential to a good relationship. Please, be kind to your child's future teachers!!

I don't really care for the first 2. Grady is Ok. Reminds me of the old dude on Sanford & Son. Yikes!!!!

I think your kid will definitely be called the wrong thing entirely by strangers his/her entire life, but honestly I think that's better than having a name that is so common it's almost painful to hear it/say it all the time. Those names are very interesting and I would be proud if I had one. Except for the roman numerals. PLEASE get rid of that ASAP.

Sorry but they are beyond "unique" and have crossed over into the weird column. Have pity on that innocent child and don't open them up to the harassment that WILL come when they get to school.

Wow. They'll have a heck of a time learning how to spell their names when they're little.
I think the names are pretty, but they're both very difficult names to spell and say. They'll constantly be having to correct spellings. That could get old really quick.

I think you should use the middle names Magdelena and Milan, they're both somewhat unique and can be pronounced correctly.

They are all dumb. And what the hell is Grady 4??
Parents need to realize that their child's individuality is within themselves as people, and not with their names (or a normal name spelled wrong).
