My girlfriend and I agreed easily for a girl's name, but couldn't agree on a boy's name.

Eventually (like months into the pregnancy), by talking, one name came out and we both loved it.

We knew the names we liked, and waited for the surprise. It was a boy :)

We got a list of the most popular baby names a year before they were born and just picked one that we liked. Their middle names come from my wife's home country.

I saw him and immediately knew his name was either “Simon” or “get off the fucking counter”

Alphabetically. Aardvark is doing great. His younger brother is really good at math.

Aaron? The legendary mathematician? Aardman, for being good at counting chickens? (But technically Aardman should be older than Aardvark.)

Or did you jump straight to 'b's with BBodmas?
