I will have one (1) designated “name checker” whose whole job is to tell me if the name I pick sucks. They will be allowed to be brutally honest about it as I may have hormones clouding my judgement at the time

If I want to name them after a fictional character, I’m picking one with a normal human name that doesn’t immediately pull the character up on Google (think Bruce instead of Goku)

I love both these names. I’m actually kinda fine with Star Wars related names because there was actually a surge of Luke and Leia after the first movie’s release.
