We had a couple important criteria for the names we chose. First, it should be pretty easy to yell in case you need to call them, and second is that it's hard to turn into an insult.

We added the second after a friend named their boy Hurley. Poor guy.

Or girly hurley. Or just Hurl. Or maybe they'll nickname him Chuck.
