  1. Have you checked out web sites such as these?

    You'll see a lot more suggestions than someone would write here.  But realize that there are almost no limits to what you can name your child.  It's difficult, some people might think it's better to name your kid something common like "Michael" or "Miguel" or "Mary" or "Maria" as opposed to "Thunder", "Yatziri", "Siddhartha", etc.

    One popular trend, in Latin America at least, is to choose a name taken from one of the many indigenous languages such as Quechuan, Mayan, etc.  Some examples from Quechuan:
