"Coming up with baby names has been difficult! We know so little about this spirit we're going to raise, though I know with half my husband's DNA, the baby, girl or boy, is going to be the smartest, sweetest, most talented fun little person in the world.

"Also, whenever we submit a name to friends and family -- there is always disparaging feedback -- "too New Age" ( I love "Sunrise" for a girl), "I knew a total a-hole who was named 'XYZ,'" "so fancy... pretentious" (we both love proper names such as "Lawrence," "Arthur," "Constance,").

"It would be so wonderful if you and your highly creative, worldly peers could help us cast the net far and wide. Ideally, we'd like to have a short list of girls' and boys' names, and then when we meet the baby, we can figure out what suits him or her. We're open to everything, from the abstract to the 'stately' to the nature-inspired. OXOXO RACHEL"
