Not quite original, but I like the way Wormy Silursson sounds.

My suggestions:

Peter
Tracey
Sherley

Normal names that work with either sex.

Congrats @ Silur & CE.
I recommend 'Oi, you!', it's convenient and easy to remember.

Conversely, a name like Carpeted Fish at least wouldn't have your child confused with anybody else as they went through life. If someone yells out "Hey, Carpeted Fish!" there are unlikely to be more than 2, or at best 3 people in any group of 100 who will answer.

Another idea if the child is a girl:

Boadicea

Ah, poor woman but a very beautiful name.

I just did ultrasound today, it is most likely a girl but it's not for sure, it had its' legs crossed right over the genitalia all the time.

The ultrasound doctor said it seemed to be a boy judging from its' behaviour, becuse it's well studies that male fetuses are more moving around considerably more than female fetuses in this time period. But then she couldn't see any male genitala but something that looked like female genitala, so it seems the fetus is so far living up to the stereotype Swedish androgynous behaviour

There's a thin line between stereotypes and hard facts.

@CE: Have you checked out my "Misconceptions.." thread since you got back? I thought you might have a thing or two to say about Sweden...

She doesn't live in Sweden. She goes there for dinner sometimes, but mostly she's living in sciencelab-land.

Boadicea is definitely on my list. I'm going to make her a nice spear too.

So, they don't serve dinner in sciencelab-land? That's good for you, I suppose...

If your baby is female and you'd like a name that suits with a spear, I suggest you put Athena on your list, too.
Edit: toned in the last syllable, not like the city (but like the Goddess )
