I've liked this name for a long time but now I associate it with my ex since it was something we threw around when talking about what we might name hypothetical future-children.
I like Rosanne, these days. Combines two names I like a lot.

Jacob is a family name on my mother's side. I have two first cousins, one second cousin, a great grandfather and a great granduncle with the name Jacob, plus a score of others going back a couple hundred years. All of whom predate twilight by some margin.

I know what I'm naming my kids
I don't tell people because I don't want people to use them for their own spawn
this happened once; I told my cousin I would name my son Trent if I ever had one
then he knocked up some broad, named the kid Trent
anyway
my personal philosophy regarding names goes as follows:
As a parent, you have an obligation to give your kid a good name. First names should be interesting but not absurd; Jonathan is boring, but Zenobia is too much (though that would be an excellent middle name, as we shall see). You want a name that people are going to remember, but not one they're going to tell stories about to their friends. The world does not need any more people named John or Jennifer.
Examples: Spencer, Warren, Devon, Anya, Lena, Emmanuela (but do her a favor and call her Emma)
Middle names should be absolutely batshit. Nobody uses their middle name unless some form or another requires them to write it down, so it's a license to be completely fucking off-the-wall ridiculous. Danger is the classic but that's too obvious; I recommend going for one of those epic, oldschool names that nobody can be bothered to pronounce on a regular basis, like the aforementioned Zenobia (which has the added bonus of starting with Z, which is arguably the best middle initial), or an obvious historical reference, like Rasputin. Or, just make up a word! Kreltast. I just made that up right now. It's stupid as hell! It's also a conversation piece, and that's the goal here: when your kid is in their twenties, trying to get laid, they'll appreciate this kind of bullshit. Just go crazy, the only way to get this wrong is to give them something boring (for example, my own middle name is Jonathan, which is the name with the least possible amount of creativity).
As for last names, keep in mind it's going to be combined with the rest of their name, and ideally you'd like it to have some kind of flow. You don't want to get too poetic, though, so it's generally a good idea to stay away from alliteration (though this can work, at your discretion). Between the two parents, one of you is bound to have a last name that sounds good with whatever first name you've decided on, so just pick whichever sounds better. Don't hyphenate, that shit is obnoxious and your kid will hate you from the time they start school until they're done with it.
If you have multiple kids, don't name them based on a theme. That's just sad. If your kids are named Opal and Jade and Amethyst people will not think you are anything other than tedious.
Some names work for both sexes. Other names technically work for both sexes, but not really: don't name your son Carol, he won't care that it's technically fine when he's still getting laughed at in sixth grade. This rule is much looser for girls; a lot of straight-up male names work for them, especially those archaic early twentieth-century sort of names, like Murray and Percy.
Try to avoid name zeitgeist. Far too many parents named their kids Tyler and Madison and Brittany in the eighties, for example, and in recent years the name Emily has become extremely popular.
Names that are entwined with a certain cultural heritage should be considered off-limits unless that heritage is your own: no German brats named Lorenzo, no Mexican kids named Cecil. If you're Irish, though, name your boy Seamus, by all means. And if you're Russian (or any kind of Eastern European, really), man alive have you got some wonderful names at your disposal.

They're the most American you can get in names.
As a firm believer in population control, I thank your family.

It's solid advice Rachel. You would do well to follow it.

What if a homeless lady falls in it!?!
I totally believe this is how pregnancy can happen!

One less asshole in my World (of Warcraft) and one less homeless person.
That'd be #3
Should just make all the homeless GMs in WoW. They'll actually whisper you randomly to see if maybe you need help with something.

I don't care what gender it is
This is a brilliant idea actually. I expect a full detailed report on my desk by Friday, we will start rounding up homeless on Monday.

You're a good person for this, Quoth
That boy will be King of Kings
I could never name my kid after a 1990s sitcom

I can give you a last name
Also, speaking of Samuel I did like in Supernatural when Dean finds out why he and Sam are named what they are
Turns out it was after their grandparents. Dean's grandmother was Deanna.
Nah, don't worry about it. Isabella, Jacob, and Edward are still all fine names. Fuck the haters.
Technically, Columbia is part of America. Just not the United States.
