Had she been a boy, she would have been named after my grandfather, with a name my mother made no secret of hating. Luckily, this was not an issue.
If I were to have another child now (which isn't happening... the factory is closed to production), I'd use the same mother-hated boy's name or Taifer for a girl, which was my great-grandmother's maiden name.
This was perhaps my least interesting post ever.

My lead names were Maximilliam for a boy (grandfather's name), but suddenly I know five people in the last year who have had a Max. ANd they didnt have it as a family name. its ruined. Sucks.
For a girl, I was gonna go Abigail, which I fell in love with when wathcing some John and Abigail Adams movie at the age of like nine, plus every Abby I have known has been cool. But that name cracked the top ten this year and I will not do that to my kid. I grew up with a rarish name (though it has gained some poplularity) and I alwayws loved being the only paigow. Just makes things easier. Fortunately, I have another A name that has not been ruined by the masses and for that reason, I will not disclose it here, though in all likelihood I will name a girl Maude, Beatrice or Edith (last two are family names and first one is after my gramma Mary and of couse, the greatest female character in film ever).
