Boys - Not that keen on any of the boys, but if I had to choose it would be Abraham, shortened to Abe.

Archibald?
Aristotle?

Girls - please don't call your daughter Gertrude.

Love Genevieve and Giselle.

Is gretchen not a character from Warhammer - what about Gretel?

Gussie makes me think of gusset.

What about Gwyn? Glynda? Gillian?
