Hey BIG Daddy.
Iam not sure where is your girl friend from, here Iam sooo surprise you said:'your girl friend' instead of your wife. That's maybe the reason you ask anyone in this forum. But anyway NOT my business.
If she is from Java give any name started with "su" means pretty.
Example: Sukaesih, Sulistina, Sukmawi, Sutira , all of girls.
If you baby born is a boy call him Suhatta, Sukarno, Suharto, Subandi, Sujoko.The only names sounds like western are from North Sumatera and some from Ambon or Sulawesi. If you girl friend from Sulawesi you can call your baby "andy" means the rich one.
If your girl friend from Aceh (Northern part of Sumatera) call your baby Cut...(read che'ut). Or from Western Sumatera call him Buyung or if the girl call her Upik.
Hey why don't you ask your mother in law.??
