We have a "proper names with proper spellings" theme. We all have three given names, and the middle names are for family. Stormy's middle names have been picked out for years. Before I even left school for one of them, if Stormy is a girl. The bumpling names are the creative ones and can be still used post-birth if we want, just not on the birth certificate.

I do have a "not the normal nickname" rule. Just because I don't want Liebling having to point out his name isn't spelt "Lee" all the time, that is a living nightmare that I know all too well.
