I have a bit of a project to find a baby name at the moment.
We're settled on a name if we have a girl, but can't figure a boy's name.
My wife suggested I go through my CD collection to find one. Here's some I came up with:
Carter
Fruitbat
Nick
Billy
East Bay Ray
Jello
Zac
Tex
Cash
Warhol
Adrock
MCA
Liam
Bowie
Hester
Bragg
Wilco
Richie
Johan
Bach
Flavour
Chuck D
E
Hieronymous
After suggesting all of those, I got many 'no' responses. Funny that eh?
Anyone got any ideas (serious or otherwise)?

Considering we have one coming, and have picked it, go with a good strong one syllable name. I reckon they stand the test of time. (this from a person with multiple syllables)

Roger, interesting you say that, as I've turned my two syllable name into a singular.
A very good point.

You probably don't need telling but I'd say think very carefully about the ways a name can be shortened and what the initials might spell or be close to spelling...now't so cruel as kids

edit* and FC

Are you after a normal, traditional type name, or one of those new modern pick 6 letters and hope they make a word type names?
