Benedict. I love, love, LOVE it, but it's awkward with our last name, and I'm afraid it sounds either a) too pretentious (not a lot of Sebastians running around in our area) or b) exclusively Catholic. And I hate the nickname Ben. So yes, it's off the list, even though I dream of it.
Beatrix, for a girl. This one I might go for anyway. It's not my first girl name choice, but if we have a second daughter, I'll be sorely tempted.
