Can't even imagine another name for him at this point! :) Marcus is a great name… but he was born over a year ago at this point, and he turned out to be a Peter through and through… Can’t even imagine another name for him at this point! :)

I always thought that Marcus would be a good name for a kid with the last name Luther, but my husband doesn't like it for personal reasons (someone he didn't like). So, unfortunately, I won't be using it :)! My husband and I are living in Cottage Grove, OR right now. Glad to be of service.

She's just hoping that the child (which is due ANY day now) is a girl, so we don't have to go down that path! Marcus is a really nice name as well... I like the ring of it... Out of curiosity, what part of the country do you live in? Thanks so much for you advice! Sarah,

Just as a side note, my husband has repeatedly voiced his problems with his name because kids made fun of him and called him Luke Skywalker and Lex Luthor, and a whole myriad of things when he was a kid. People still make comments about Lex Luthor now and he is a grown man. I'd advise not to do that to your child :). Just a suggestion though. I think Marcus Luther is a nice name.

However, I didn’t want the lights to go out on Rain City Guide while I’m taking a little break, so I’ve asked a friend of mine (who happens to run a great photoblog) to take over.

I think that Luke would be a great name with Luther. If it needs two syllables (like Grandma said), you could use the offical name of Lucas... and Luke for short. :-) BTW, I saw the original (I mean the very first) Star Wars film 13 times in the theatre. That was long before the video came out! Dustin,

A girl's name that I'm partial to is Angali (ANN-jill-ee). It's of Indian origin meaning "present." Unisex names: Jordan (I know both boys and girls with this name) Morgan (most of the people I know named morgan are older gentlemen, but I noticed that it's in the top 10 for girls names now) I’m partial to unusual names as well.

I like Lucas a lot... That is probably my first choice at this point... (especially since I could call him Luke Skywalker!) :) Carol,
