Made it through the first five pages but couldn't take any more.  

Of the names we were inundated with as kids back in the day, Mark kind of hits the mark, don't you think?  It has also become nearly extinct.  Of the thousands of students I had in the last twenty five years, nary a Mark.

Even Bach's St. Mark's Passion was lost. Coincidence? I think not!

Hear that Cath-y? You wouldn't want a fine biblical name like Mark to die out, now would you? Then again your tribe doesn't obsess over the bible so what do you care? Francis for either sex could work or if you have a particularly homely yet saintly girl you could name her Teresa.

Really?  I have two cousins named Mark so I always thought it was a common name...  Availability bias?

If we're talking biblical names, I like David but for sentimental reasons I wouldn't expect anyone else to honor.  

Francis for either sex could work

Francis comes with the implicit nickname of Baby, too

David is a name, like Michael, that has never let up. So many Davids around me: father, brother, nephew, wife's ex, friend in school, husband of friend who died recently, lot of yada more.

If my baby is a girl, I'm pretty set on the name Giselle. Claire would be the middle name, and Bertka is the last name. 

With the boy name, I'm not entirely sold yet. I'm looking for something that is not too American and not too common, but not super weird either.

Anyway, this is fun. Vote on the name you prefer above!

I voted for "Conrad".
First, I like how it sounds.
Second, I always welcome the idea of naming kids after Stargate characters.
