What's in a name?

"What are you gonna name your kid?" My 6 year old nephew, Evan, asked walking toward me.

"Well, I like the name Levi for a boy."

"Why?"

And here I sit in the 21st week of pregnancy and Chris and I have not agreed on any names that we love or that Evan loves. Here we are when he was about 18 months.
We like original, artsy names, but not old fashioned ones. We like 'L' names and 'J' names and names with letters like, 'v' or 'z' in them. We have a very hard sounding German last name, so a softer, but not wussy, first name is something we're considering. But at the same time, for a boy, a masculine name is a must. Thankfully we have 40 weeks...nope, 19 weeks to decide.
