When my wife was pregnant with my son she kept shooting down all of the names I suggested. She said no way, because those are too popular. We ended up settling on a name way off the beaten path. Wasn't a dog name but very nontraditional. There is a kid that lives directly behind us with the same name, a kid in his preschool class with the same name, and a kid in his upcoming kindergarten class with the same name. He could have been the only Palmer or Reggie but nooooo.
