We wanted a unique name for DS 'cuz his last name is common in some areas, plus on my FIL's side of the family, some of the people have horrible credit ratings. I once had a HECK of a time getting phone service hooked up 'cuz someone with the same name as DH skipped out on a huge phone bill.
We refused to tell anyone what we were going to call DS because of the Ewww factor. So we told everyone his name was going to be felix and referred to him as felix the fetus. The other thing that drove me nuts is when other people would "steal" the names we had picked out. DH's best friends wife and a couple cousins nabbed a few of my favories, so we kept it hush hush until DS was born.
We actually had difficulty choosing a middle name and we jokingly tried out a close cousin's first name and ended up keeping it.
