The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

I love Morgana, to the point I convinced the wife to use it if we had a girl (we didn't).

I read somewhere long ago of a study that concluded that difficult names (either writing or pronouncing) caused problems for kids early on, so I had that in mind when chosing names, I also opted out of a middle name (I don't know single person who doesn't have one over here other than my kid) because my last name is kinda hard and long already.

Hope this helps choosing something. And congratulations! Whatever you go with, love is the important part, the name is just a tag.
