DSis is having a boy and want's to name him either Anakin or Kirk Grin as you've probably guessed she's a big fan of Star Wars/Star Trek.

She's not budging, so which do you prefer?

Kirk is marginally better than Anakin, but James Tiberius would be great! Or:

Benjamin
Julian
Leonard
William
Miles
Jake
Jonathan
Charles
Malcolm

All Star Trek characters!

You'll all be glad to know that I've managed to get Anakin knocked off the table, current front runner is James Tiberius Charles Surname as her DH cringes at the possibility of his DS introducing himself as James T Grin which I think would be the cutest thing ever

Kirk is beautiful. It means Church, so I believe.
Anakin is a bit effeminate to my ears and could become Ana. Kids can be so cruel.
Anakin would be gorgeous for a girl, though

Oh Sorry Riddle. I didn't see or rather read your update

Kirk lovely name.

Just call him the incredible hulk and be done with it.

People might think you were saying "Anarchy" when you were calling him.

I was going to say James Tiberius - it was my proposed name for my imaginary ds3. But also to say your sil probably winding you up, my sil bugged me endlessly for dd1's name when pregnant, I stuck with 'brandylou' throughout...
