He won't be a unique snowflake as far as names go. That wasn't our concern ... in fact the hardest part has been convincing my friends that my love of Oasis wasn't the backbone of the decision.

To anybody naming their baby, I recommend not telling people. As this thread shows people are baby name snobs. If the name reminds somebody of a person they used to know or if it's a name they just don't like many will be very upfront and annoying about it.
I am confused, you suggest naming your kid, but not telling anyone else the name? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the whole name thing?
