Our daughter was decided on the toss of a coin in the pub the day before I went into hospital. Her name is Phoebe, which some books give as meaning 'Bright One or Star', and others have it as the feminine of Phoebus, the sun god. Therefore, I have a daughter who is a sun, problem solved.

Mind you, if she had been a boy, she would have been named after my great grandfather, my adopted grandfather, my cousin, my father and brother in law, her godfather, and my husbands' grandfather, which would have just made her Richard Robert William - four branches of the family appeased with one set of names.

But please be careful of initials, I went out with an Andrew Simon Smith once, he never had his briefcase monogramed (and he was one), and I just pray my daughter doesn't take her future husbands name if it begins with S or T, as she would then become PMT/PMS.... And both my sister and mother in law are MAD. My sister is SAG, so a good rule to stick to would be a middle name that doesn't begin with a vowel.

You could just try 'Boy' in various languages, or as Micca suggested, 'one' or 'first'. Try some of the African names, you can get a lot into one word with some of them....
