Benjamin (Binxamin!) was my first thought for a boy name for you!

Gustav
Frederick
Otto
Axel
and then there was Charles - last-born, and when they'd been in America for a while, so that one English name crept in!
Iver
Peter(Petyr)

Oooohhh....I like Gustav. Not too many of those these days.

My Grandpa's name was Isaac, I always kinda like that for a boy.

Congratulations on the new man in the family! Like Pops says, a Monte without fur.

.. car...
.. movie *star* (now long-forgotten)...
.. food...
.. rock *star* (also now forgotten)
.. political figure-of-the-day (who's now in jail)...
.. and the list goes on...

The lil GUY has to LIVE with his name - forEVER -
Let's help Joh pick one he'll be *PROUD* to
sign on the bottom of a business letter;

.. or use as President of the USA!!

"Phred" won't cut it!

Congrats Joh!!! Can I buy your son his first Bengal's outfit? Or maybe Bearcat if you prefer?

[Barbara]

Catgratulations!

You should be able to find a state name for your son

I won't mix in the name question as it is a cultural thing - I just have no idea how names sound in a different culture, which ones are old fashioned, or conservative, or modern, or cheap........
