Baby names

What do you all think of these names?

I've been thinking long and hard and well
for a girl I have always loved the name Christine (which my OH doesn't mind)

but for a boy I am absolutely in love with the name Atem
it's supposedly an Egyptian name which I got from the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh
everyone hates it except me and my cousin.

My OH is adamant we are naming the baby Jayden if it's aboy, but I really don't want to call it that.

We just cannot decide on a name, I hate 'normal' names, I much prefer creative,unusual,odd names
whereas he wants something 'normal'

argh!

hi sweet,
2 totally diffrent names.
i love unusual names my 4 children are called Jakob,Teona,Fenton and Donte'-Elijah.
maybe you could both come up with a name you each like and combine them or make
a double barrelled name,each of my children have got the fathers name in the middle
but in diffrent names and with youngest i combined the two of our names into one.
go with what you like and dont be influenced by other people otherwise you
won't pick anything.
hope this helps
hugs xxx

Ya I love that i'm not the only one out there that likes unusual names

It must be something to do with men...men always like either a, video game names or b, 'regular' names

if you've ever seen that episode of the simpsons where Marge and Homer are trying to decide on a boys name (when Marge is expecting Bart) and Homer is picking faults with every name and such, Well thats OH and me! lol
