Default Baby Names
Going through the angst of choosing a baby name for our first baby, a boy, and finding it next to impossible to find one that doesn't have some biblical reference!
Anyone know of any lists of scientific inspired baby names or something?

Suggestions invited!, but must be usual, have .com domain name availability, and match Jones

Thanks.
Dave.

I'm having a good time googling this.

How do you feel about naming your child after a famous scientist? Albert? Charles? Louis? ...

Ok, but probably too common.
Given the last name is Jones, I'm fighting tooth and nail for Indiana as the middle name!

Look for some Celtic names, they aren't biblical.

Or you could go with Rupert.
