I haven't really started thinking of names yet. Dh wants it to be Walter Richard if it's a boy but I dnw for multiple reasons. Are you finding out? I can't remember. Yes. I don't like surprises.

Is this a regional thing? Seems like a lot of love for this name on the thread. My cousin in CT named her baby this last year and we (the southern branch of the family) were all kind of like, wtf? I know it’s from the movie but tbh it just makes me think of Darth Vader, lol.

My great aunts name is Vera. Her name is Elvira so it’s a NN. MIillie is the official nn for Amelia. We thought about just naming her Millie but wanted to give her the option of a more grown up name if she wants it later. She knows her actual name is Amelia Kae last name though. Adam is his middle name. His first name was after his bio Dad who was just awful. I think his mom started calling him by his middle name after they divorced when he was around 2. Then in middle school his teacher was calling attendance and called both names. Adam said both of those names were him so the teacher said he needed to pick one. He picked his dad’s name and the teacher said, I like Adam. So since then he’s officially been adam. cagoldi I love Poppy! Glad Pete is on board!!

melaniesue We have a friend named Stephen Scott who always goes by Scott. Pete and their other HS school friends had no idea Scott wasn't his FN until they called his full name during their graduation ceremony. Similar situation to Adam, he was a Junior and when his parents broke up bus mom started calling him by his MN.

I've known people named Vera but they were definitely my grandparents generation.
Veda is something I've only ever heard in the movie and I'm with Liz, just NMS.

Also a very common name, Vera over here, albeit a bit old school.

There is a kid in Dude's class named Dresden. His older sister is Berlin. Why did they name them both after German cities? Were they conceived there or something?
This is a mystery that bugs me.

Dresden...? As in the town where the nazi’s made their ammunition and from which of trains made their way east and to concentration camps? The town which in return was obliviated by allied forces? Weird.
