What to call him... or her?

We found out this morning that my wife's pregnant. It was not planned, but fate does what it does.

Here's the deal: The have two sons, both with rather unusual names (especially here in traditional Norway)

Our first we named Maximillian (After Maximillianus - meaning "the greatest") - He's eight.

When we got the second one we "had" to have an X or another special letter, and somewhat special, and named him Felix. He's four.

So, what to name the next one, be it male or female? I know you Pelicanites are well educated, and from all over the world, so I know you can provide some great input.

We're looking forward to the little'un, but this kind of rushes my promise to myself to buy a 944 this year. "Must get P-car while we can afford it!"

So hit me with suggestions!

there is the risk he will grow up to moderate people, cutting them off midsentence, censoring, going to the beach with black tape to cover up excess skin... stuff like that

Why does it have to have an X in it?
I wouldn't do that if it were me (and we're both glad it isn't).

Doesn't have to be an X, but it should be somewhat unusual, me thinks.

Keep'em coming! Good stuff!

You already have an "X" in Felix, time to move on to "Y."

I'd go with Styrofoam, or Sty for short.

Just do not do what my family in Denmark did 150 years ago. First male child was large so they called him Magnus. Second one was not so large so they called him Minus.

Am serious... and bet he had a rough time in life living that one down. Reminds me of Johnny Cash and the song "A boy named Sue"...
