Some of you put a LOT of thought (and humor) into your suggestions, which made for a very funny day of reading for me!
From my sister:
Aragorn - okay not really - he'd get the crap beaten out of him as the Lord of Rings freak
Luciano - cause you keep eating Italians...maybe you are making one!
Dan - cause we need another one in the family - HA!Coffee Walsh - I dig that...its got meaning man -- or maybe Jamocha...
Subaru Walsh...maybe they'd give Dan a free WRX!
Aaron Walsh - translates to mountain - and he'd always be first in line at school
Warf Walsh - cause you both love NexGen
Ewan Walsh - consistent with the Welsh last name
Leo Walsh - when is the baby due? If he is to be a Leo - why not....
Holden Walsh - means kindly, gracious
"Okay - if he is born a Leo in the year of the fire pig - you should go for a name that means fire. (I am having WAY too much fun with this!)Year of the Fire Pig - http://www.firepig.com/horoscopeyear.aspx"

Huck (I would go with the full Huckleberry, but I'm not that brave)
Trigger ( I really like this one and actually knew someone named Trigger and he was really cool)
Some I like now:
Bill (believe it or not, my kids don't know a single person named Bill, other than my boss, so it is unusual these days)
Simon
Will
Cal ( I've heard it as a short form of Callister)
Other suggestions from family and friends include:

Titanium? Do you call him Tit for short?
Yeah - we pointed out the nickname failings of that one pretty quickly. Not sure if that would be a worse nickname for a girl or a boy...

Huh. Apparently since Google knows me as Kit, and Google owns the world, my nom de Blogger is also Kit.
It comes from Christopher "Kit" Catling, the 17th-18th century pie baker who played host to the "Kit-Cat Club" of whigs and cultural mavens, including my current favorite eighteenth-century blue-eyed boy, Joseph Addison. (My real-life identity should be apparent by now.)
As it happens, I really like "Kit" as a guy's name. (Its association with Kit Carson who was not so nice to the Native Americans is unfortunate, though.)
Here are my latest ideas:
Aldrin
Junius
Fargo
Obadiah
Gavin
Dashiell
I'm not saying good, bad or ugly. I just make 'em up.
This game is so addictive, it is hard to stop playing.
Did you realize that Scottish parliamentary constituencies are a plentiful source of hip-sounding names?
viz:
Lothian Walsh
Ayr Walsh
Kilbride Walsh
Kelvin Walsh
Kirkcaldy Walsh
Stirling Walsh
Skye Walsh
Orkney Walsh
Scottish Parliament constituencies and regions
Don't forget, the name has to fit the baby, and the adult - even if he/she becomes President.
Even though Tit would work for the current president - we don't want Critter to be named such.
Lately I want to suggest the name Roger, just because then you can use the nickname Hodge. I don't have feelings one way or another about "Roger," but I love saying "Hodge." Hodge.
