Keep an open mind. This is the cardinal rule. Be open to each other's suggestions – to your own flights of fancy and free association, to names that come out of leftfield that you aren't even sure are names but somehow hit a nerve. The name conversation isn't the kind you've embarked on before, at least not seriously, and you'll probably discover quite quickly that it's a conversation loaded with emotion. The best thing you can do for each other is to open your mind to whatever possibilities arise. Use the funnel technique: Start broad, using lenient guidelines, and then narrow the discussion over time. This way you won't rule out any names prematurely, and you'll also allow for new, previously unconsidered names to pleasantly surprise you.
