Hi everyone,
Bit of fun here. My wife and I are expecting our first baby in September and are looking at names so I wondered what names of typefaces would work for a baby too?
Any suggestions welcome and please include a link or example of the font too :-)
If it’s a boy, Finnegan!
Best of luck to the new family!
Another vote for Finnegan!

I.T.C. Arecibo Too
Galliard or Lobster
Grotesque No. 9
^ … would definitely be a better choice than Akzidenz Grotesk ;P
Edit:
I had a similar discussion with a (father-to-be) friend of mine and we found out there are some fonts that are definitely NOT suitable for baby names:
besides Akzidenz Grotesk, we came up with ITC Machine, VAG rounded, Fatface, …
Seriously though, here are my suggestions:

Trajan http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/trajan/
F:
Joanna http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/joanna/
Flora http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/joanna/
(Gerard Unger named Flora after his daughter, it would be fun to ‘turn the tables’!)
My best wishes to you and your family!
If they they turn out to be twins, I'd go with Curlz and Bluntz.

Congratulations! Hope everyone ends up healthy and happy!
I dare you to call your daughter Helvetica.
Cry Modern--or was that Craw? ;-)
Why not a typeface designer’s name, like John (Baskerville), William (Caslon), Matthew (Carter), Gerard (Unger), Adrian (Frutiger), Edward (Johnston), Eric (not necessarily Gill), … ?
