Salmon Baby Names

Since many people ask about what names we are thinking of for Baby Salmon, I thought I would devote a post to that specifically...

We are not going to share what name we decide until the little one is born, but we would LOVE to get your input of names that you think would be cool or go well with Salmon, so we can have more ideas.

Please suppress the urge to post such names as: Smoked, Fresh Water, King, etc. and give us some serious ideas, cuz we could use the help! Its HARD work coming up with a name that we both like.

So if you want to, please feel free to post a comment and let us know of some name ideas (I always found I had more name ideas before I actually had the need to have any...so since most of my ideas have not worked out (aka derek doesnt like them or they dont sound good with Salmon)...I would love the help).

Thank you for taking part in the brainstorming. :)

Ok, several people have posted comments and asked a few questions, so i'll update this to address those:
1. Please dont give names that you want for yourself :)
2. Most names that start or end with the letter "S" probably wont work so that disqualifies alot.
3. We're open to any type of name: Biblical, Classic, Trendy, Uncommon, made-up ;0)
4. A fun game might be to take DEREK and AMANDA and try to come up with a made up name hee hee, you never know right?!

hey amanda. this is a tough one. Only for the fact that the names I like maybe used by us in the future some day. I was going to share some that didn't sound right, or we couldn't agree on, but now I can't remember them! I'll email you on that. But check out www.babynames.com and start a list - it's a great resource!

well, amanda, it would probably help if you let us know what kinds of names you like... do you want it to be a biblical type name, a classic name, a more trendy name, an uncommon name? i would (personally) not choose a name that starts with S. ex. Sam Salmon is a bit too much!
