Great comments! I have the following names lined up should I need them:
Foaf Http 201 Alist MacManus (if it's a boy)
(note: I think 'Foaf' could be the new 'Frank'... and his school mates could nickname him 'The Foafster'!)
Blogatha Validate Post MacManus (if it's a girl)
Hmmm, actually thank goodness my daughter was born before I started blogging! :-)

Dave???
Well, sh*t.

It's amazing how many Daves I know, not to mention the ones in the blogosphere :-) That name and Rebecca were of course the 'normal' ones on my list - they were supposed to be nods to some blogging pioneers.
