I'm looking to expand my list of nerdy names for my firstborn.
Inspiration:
The work of Joss Whedon
The Legend of Zelda
Kingdom Hearts
Star Trek
Disney
The work of Andrew Niccol
Names of famous physicists, engineers, and inventors
Celestial bodies
Final Fantasy
A few of the names on my list are Simon, Merrick, Tesla, River, and Kida.
Re: Nerdy names
River Song. Ultimate nerd name.
I've always been fond of Tesla too and Yuna.
DH went to law school with a guy who named his son Buckminster NN Bucky.
My favorite nerdy name is Poindexter, but that is inspired by the 60's Barbie board game. <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-10.gif" alt="Embarrasse
Malcolm (Mal)
Lincoln (Link)
Darwin
Xander
Like in Beauti
From Firefly--Washburne NN Wash. (I've always been partial to the NN, although I first heard it as short for Washington.) I also like Inara.
Celestial bodies: Andromeda. Orion. Lacerta (lizard constellation.) Cassiopeia, NN Cassie.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
We almost had a River named after River Tamm.
Merik was on my short list.
We also considered Hoban (Wash's first name)
I'm interested to see what you end up with!
I wanted to use Xander for our son but no sadly. My hubby didn't like that one.
We are thinking about Owen and that's from the Buffy verse. I also like Winifred (Angel). I do like Willow, but I don't think I could actually name our daughter
I love Linus (like Linus Pauling), Henry (as in Edison), Edison (as in....um...)
Whedon-wise, I love Cordelia, Malcolm, Caroline, Victor, Anya
Baby will be named Jadzia. Also from DS9. Her middle name will be Annika which is Seven of Nines human name. DH is a Trekkie. And I like unique.
Orion, for a celestial name.
Caroline, Sierra, Adele, Paul, Victor, Boyd, Topher, Claire, Ivy for Joss Whedon inspired (Dollhouse).
Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel, Alice, Bianca, Daisy, Pearl, Eve, Peter, Sebastian, Donald, Chris
Linus was the name of a Nobel prize winning scientist. So there's your easy front runner.
I also like Luna, which is celestial in that it means moon in Spanish.
And I think Zelda is kind of cool for a little girl.
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
Wesley, Malcolm, Topher, Xander, Lorne, Simon, Rupert
Zoe, Kaylee, Penny, Cordelia, Winifred, Darla, Anya, Tara, Eliza (after the actress, because Faith was awesome, but I wouldn't use that name)
I love the name Zelda, but I've never p
My name nerdism stems from musicians, family tree and people from history. I.E. son's names were a hybrid of musicians and family tree.
I just came up with a funny one. My dad's middle name is Kempton. Add my love for Star Trek and you get Kempton Kirk.
I puns.
