Crazy baby name ideas

My hubby and I have been talking about names, and we agreed on a plan that will totally fry our parents, but feels really right to both of us: We're going to give the baby my last name. My H and I have different last names, and are both quite opposed to changing them. We're both feminists, and just couldn't feel comfortable about giving the baby his last name. We'd only be doing it to please other people, which doesn't seem like the right reason to us. To please ourselves, we'd like to flip that tradition. It seems that kids around here have so many last name variations these days that we don't expect it to raise many eyebrows locally. And to appease our parents, we'll add my husband's last name as a second middle name, so no one will imagine that he isn't claiming the baby (my father actually mentioned this once in a different context).

For first names, I'm thinking Leo if it's a boy, and Solea if it's a girl (I got that from an Ursula K. LeGuine novel). Leo hasn't got a middle name so far (maybe Oliver? maybe Isaiah?), but I think a girl might be Solea Joy.

Opinions? Feel free to lay it on me. I want to hear it all early, so I can be prepared for what happens later IRL. I can take it. :)
