1. No names with same initial as surname - so for me all S names are out (even though I really really like some S names).

2. No names with same inital as anyone in the immediate family (ourselves, our parents, our siblings) - so for me all T, K, S, J, N, D and M names are out.

3. No family names to be used (ie named after bubs great grandfather) either as first names or middle names. Part of me would really love to break this rule but how do I honor one person and use their name without offending someone else... so I have decided that no family names are to be used (this rule only goes back as far as our grandparents though as otherwise I could potentially wipe out quite a few names LOL)

4. No names that are similar to friends kidlets, family kidlets (nieces, nephews etc)

5. No names that describe an occupation... DPs surname describes an occupation so I couldn't have a Hunter S******* for example because it just sounds wrong

6. Names have to flow well together.

7. I and DP have to agree on name - there is no "well you can have that name, if I can have this middle name" sort of thing to happen

8. Consideration has to be given to the initials

and then pretty much similar to yours! DP thinks I am a nutter but I don't care LOL
