Stuck in a rut - need some help, please

My husband and I are having a hard time finding any names that we agree on, and I am looking for some suggestions. Here are some guidelines that we've been able to agree on:

1. We're Catholic - so any Saint's names or biblical names would be wonderful.
2. I don't want anything that is common. I don't want my child to be one of 8 "Katies" in her class, etc.
3. My husband doesn't like anything new and trendy (Makenna is out).
4. We would like something traditional and easy to pronounce and spell. I don't want my child to have to spell his/her name for EVERYONE.

Here is a list of names that we had *kind of* liked (one of us likes each of the following, but nothing set in stone):

Megan
Rachel
Rebecca
Regan

Luke
Gabriel
Christopher

These names can be first or middle, or I am open to something else entirely. We don't know if it's a boy or girl, so having a few to pick from would be helpful.

I am working all day today so I won't respond until tonight. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

You can always name the baby abigail if its a girl - and Alena is quite good - if you read what it means most people named Alena are happy gentle souls very good natured.

Biblical names....Boy's are easy.... Jonah, Jacob, Matthew, Timothy, Phillip , Samson, Luke , Mark, John, Isaac, Isaiah, Aaron, Caleb, Gabriel, Peter, Simon, Nathaniel,


Girls are a little harder, Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Eve, Delilah, Ariel... Its a place, I knew a minister who named their daughter Ariel after a place in the bible., Mary is the obvious one LOL.


Hope these help some.
