If it's a boy: Doug Damage. If it's a girl: Doug Damage.
Iβm definitely down with this. I genuinely pitched Danger Russ but couldnβt get it past the boss.
So, my culture places a lot of emphasis on names because we believe that names effect the destiny of the named. So we usually create names that we think will bless our children in their future. Examples: Legacy, Radiance, Kiah (Strength), ect. If the name that has a good meaning does not sound like a name then we often make it a secret name and use a nickname based on it for their legal name. Example; if secret name is Malik (Monarch) legal name is Mal.
Okay, real suggestions.
Think about personal values that you and your wife hold dear. Something that you both know will never change, something you want to teach your child as they grow older. Something precious.
Think about a hero--real or fictional, famous or personal--who embodies those qualities. Name your kid after that person.
Weβve just been reading lists of names but this is a nice way to approach it. Thanks!

Or Luca. It's gender neutral.
I like names that are uncommon enough to not be boring but not too out there. Also having a cool like origin/meaning is nice. Examples with meaning/origin and prominent figures sharing the name included:
Silas: Greek/Latin meaning Forest or "of the Forest" Silas Deane, founder of the Methodist Church
Wesley: Old English meaning west meadow Wesley Moore, current Governor of Maryland
August: Latin (Augustus) meaning magnificent Augustus Caesar, First Princeps of the Roman Empire
Audrey: Old English meaning noble strength Audrey Hepburn, American Actress
Evelyn: English and French (Aveline) meaning hazelnut Evelyn Waugh, English Novelist/Satirist
Florence: Latin meaning blossoming/flourishing. Florence Nightingale, Pioneer in the Medical Field

Hey! My son is also named Bort!
If a boy? Go simple, pick a name like Richard/Robert, that way they have a shortened name to pick from (Rob, Bob/ Rick, Dick) or Leslie
Girl? Pick something crunchy with some history to it, Peony or Persephone or Viola Or Leslie

Hope. Because, they'll need it.
My old boss had a dog named "deeohgee", literally dog spelled out. He also had a daughter named "Katie", which was him compromising with the mother as he wanted to name her "Ka'idee" (kid spelled out....).
