when me and my wife were choosing names, our only rules were

boy = 1 syllable max
girl = 2 syllable max

we hate long names

I named my son after the sheriff on the Rifleman. "Micah"


There's a girl at my church with that name.


Never heard of it as a boys name, although Micah is an Old Testament prophet.

While we're on the topic of baby names, what does the OT think of Preston?


I pushed HARD for the name Preston for our youngest. I got outvoted...

what is wrong with Maverick?


Nothing. If triplets, you've always got Slider, Iceman, Goose, Wolfman, Hollywood, Jester and Viper to choose from too.

Well, I've only known the one Micah, that girl, so it's not one I've run across a lot.

Sounds Amish.

Please be original. Nothing is worse than the "stick to biblical names" crowd. Granted, don't name your child Apple, but you get the jist.

all of our girl names could also be boy names

I guess we just didn't like any real girl names

I'm not wild about that. I've known girls named Tyler and Ryan and I just really don't like the concept.
