I, too, find Helen weird on a child. I came across a list of second graders and one was named Hele - I was very surprised.

I do like Laurel, Alexander is the one who shot it down. I should have said the names weren't doing it for us. I go back and forth on Judith. I suspect Judith will be the winner in the end.

---

The funny thing with Malcolm is how disliked it is - by a WIDE variety of people. I shared it and everyone thought we were crazy for even thinking of using it. I still don't understand why.

---

And I agree with Raphael being difficult, especially as I've heard it pronounced a few different ways. Having it mispronounced would drive me crazy.

---

I like Sam, too, but it's really popular around here. He'd be one of many.

I think in the end - disliked or not - we'll go with Malcolm.
