Okay, okay, I'll bow down to the pressure. :) We will not settle on a name for our child until we're certain the birth name is unusable - it's possible it could be a long string of consonants we can't pronounce. It's also possible it will be a completely useful, normal name - or could be adapted into one. If not, however, these are the names we've tossed around, in any combination and order:

Mark
Nicholas
Gregor
Vasily ("Lee")
Viktor
Vladimir
Ivan
Joseph

Yes, we want a Russian flavored name. I like Peter, but it's also a slang term for male genitalia so we wanted to avoid that. Some names are just too different and would be strange in America. Of course, a couple on our list would be strange anyway and I'm sure some of you may be scratching your head and sending up a prayer we come to our senses! The above was our original list, however; there are a couple we've decided against already, but I won't be telling you which ones - gotta make you sweat a little!

And no, there's not a girl's name talked about. We decided that with the very low percentage chance we would receive a girl, we'll come up with a name later if it happens. Back in the old days when we thought we'd birth our own, we had a girl's name picked out - but couldn't decide on a boy! Wouldn't you know, that's the gender we'd end up with. :)
