- femto 8y agoOne strategy is to pick a famous name to go with the surname. Look up the child's surname on Wikipedia and choose a first name from the disambiguation page, or put your surname into a search engine and pick from one of the top results. That way if the child wants their 15 minutes fame they have to actually work for it!
