In Search of Names

Help us find a name! Two names, really, since we don't know the baby's sex.
 
Seriously, two names. If you suggest the same name for both, you're doing it wrong.

See my requirements and deal-breakers below; I cannot attest to my husband's. 

See how my list is mostly deal-breakers?

At least I made it cute and colorful, an unnecessary and perhaps aesthetically atrocious decision, but I am pregnant and can get away with murder.

Also, given my track record, I might totally hate the name you suggest. I might even stick out my tongue and make a gagging sound when I see it.

Have fun...if you dare.
