I'd just like to note that when I read this, I had a bunch of Forum tabs open, and thought this was the Fail/Thing of your day thread, and that they were actually making Marijuana Pepsi. Lol.
Hmm... Male: Axel (shut up!), Leon (No, not because of KH), Possibly Jerry (after my grandfather) Female: Mary, Possibly Roselyn (after my deceased grandmother)
The female names are far more speculative. I've mostly thought of male names for whatever reason...
I already promised to name my firstborn daughter Stephanie after my grandmother, a woman who retired two days before I was born and was pretty much my second mother. I've already decided that, in exchange, whoever I eventually end up impregnating can name the firstborn son. Otherwise, my family is pretty big on the whole namesake thing (and there have been a lot of selfless people in my family since we came to this country 50 years ago), so no matter what it will probably be a name from within the family.

I almost was named Axel after my great grandfather.
Boy: Serge, Yuri, Maxim, Alexsi or Dimitri. Maybe something cool like Justinian, Belasarus or Diacletian because Romans had badass names too. I like a lot of traditional German names as well like Konrad and Markus.
Girl: Alexia, Iarena, Anya, Ilya, Karina or Czarina.
Nothing is really certain as kids are not in the plan, at least not for now.
as for Pete/Nuri: I wholeheartedly support you in your hammer wielding child raising program. If you ever need to teach him how to make viking swords you know who to talk to.
While I'm not so hot on the idea of procreating (and neither is my girlfriend) I long ago decided that if I ever ended up fathering a son that I'd keep the family naming tradition alive and name him "Frank", with a different middle name, so we can once again avoid the whole "Junior" thing. I also thought it would be cool to name a son Connor, but my brother swiped that one for his kid. One other name I kicked around was Duncan [1], but I nixed that one after a quick round of thought. I long ago vowed that I would not name any of my children something that could result in playground cruelty and given that my last name often gets mispronounced as "Hines" (with a long I sound) there is no way I would saddlebag a son with a name that sounded like a cake mix.
I'm all for the playground cruelty for any potential children. Being made fun of teaches how to deal with social pressures, and failing that teaches you kid how to fight fairly well. Either result is acceptable.

I know I had more names bouncing around in the back of my head, but I'm so sleep deprived right now that I can't remember them.
