So Straughn finally got around to propagating the species with his spouse. Congrats to him. Now the question is. What should the child be named? Feel free to suggest names for a boy and girl and your comments about them. I hope he sees this it might give him ideas.

Boy: Mark
Girl: Josephina

Those are my recommendations.

Boy: Zagnut

Girl: Fooby

:)

What should the child be named?

...

I got nuthin'.

I'm aware this is a serious thread, but I can't think of any good names at the moment.

Obviously you don't know me. Mark because Straughn apparently has a hard time hitting the mark. And Josephina is an inside joke...though Donna would be a funny suggestion to me as well...

Leon, possibly with the middle name Ambrose. What would translate liberally to "Immortal lion."

For the boy, at least.

I suck at names in general, though.

No child should be inflicted with Christopher. It's dull and hard to spell when you're primary school.

I have a nephew named Christopher...he turned out decent....enough...

*vetoes Josephina*

Male: Christopher
Female: Amelia

Walker and Texas Ranger.

Sidney and Leslie. The best part is, they're gender-neutral.

As if his children won't be confused enough by having him for a father.:P

w00t. Congrats to SJS and his wife. Give them both a smack on the ass for me.

Names...names....hmm....

Beelzebub? Lucifer? Dante?
no, none of those...
how about Maeahhfhimk (Irish, pronounced "Mick")
Candida (vaginal yeast infection)

Male: Anslem.

Female: Zoe or Cassandra.

Boy: Josephina
Girl: Mark

Boy: Little Snot

Girl: Too cute To Strangle

Wifey is looking them over at time of typing. :)
As for Kazuki, that is a nice meaning. Being a U.S. citizen, however, i'm kinda 'fraid of the names that will so easily be heard to be slightly different ... and in some cases, painfully humiliating to the child.
Thank you for the link, again.

Thank you :)
Of course, i turned the other cheek.
The irish name .... interesting.
Dante, though ... WHY? The guy had a serious chip on his shoulder. ;)

Boy: Damn

That reminds me ... there's this transport company in my town that goes by the name "Two Dogs Trucking" in honour of the joke.
And, skippin' the last one. :p

Boy: Little Snot
The image itself is disturbing enough. :eek:

Girl: Too cute To Strangle

Wife likes that one. I'm guessing it's personal experience that threw that one out ... and i'll also end up using it myself (or at least humming a few bars) :p

yay, i actually did something practical on tinternets.

Oh got some more.
Boy:Arturo(Spanish/Italian form of Arthur)

Girl: Izumi (Gender: Feminine Usage: Japanese Other Scripts: 泉 (Japanese)Means "fountain, spring" in Japanese.)

Or

Boy:Jasper (Means "treasurer" in Persian. The name Jasper was traditionally assigned to one of the three kings (also known as the three Magi, or wise men) who were said to have visited the newborn Jesus. This name can also be given in reference to the English word for the gemstone.)

Girl:Skyler (Variant of Skylar, From the Dutch surname Schuyler which means "scholar".)
Okay i'll stop there.

Curious about the last one. o.0

It sounded silly. The only contemporary reference that comes to mind is Fooby, the Kamikaze Watermelon (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2058220206680752355&q=fooby&total=73&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=5). *nod*

Boy: ZagnutYou and your weirdness ... i was thinking this at work yesterday for some reason ... the part where he's waving the bar at the fly.
And then, OF COURSE, you bring it up! :D
I'm not against that name any more than i am against "Bort".

Girl: Fooby

:)Curious about the last one. o.0

Leon, possibly with the middle name Ambrose. What would translate liberally to "Immortal lion."

For the boy, at least.

Thank you *bows*
As another odd coinkydink, i was thinking about "ambrosia" and it's religious significance yesterday .... i named our newest ferret "Manna" because of what he brought to the first weasel's livelihood, and to ours. :)

*vetoes Josephina*
THANK you! *bows*

Female: AmeliaInteresting ... i was chosen to be a godparent *once* .... that's my goddaughters' name. :)
It also meant i was baptized by proxy into Lutheranism.

"Pathos" is a good, gender-neutral name guaranteed to provide plenty of interesting conversation material for the court-mandated psychiatrist visits he/she will be attending in about 20-25 years time.

Walker and Texas Ranger.

This *so* reminds me of this skit they use from SNL on a local radio show all the time.
Walker maybe, but i'm pretty sure (given that i had to shoot down Anakin just earlier today) it's not gonna go anywhere.

I was getting to that, actually :D
I'm not against it. It might help as a name, honestly.

Oh i remember now, you got told off for flamin didn't ya? I saw it in a Mod thread.
hehe, so even the oldies can get out of hand.
good luck with the kids thing, might even sell one at a good price, if you're lucky.:)

I'm aware this is a serious thread, but I can't think of any good names at the moment.
I'm not against Cthulu for any particular reason other than my intent to explain the nature of damned near everything to and with my child .... and i suspect i don't want to do the whole Cthulu thing with them too early.
Shub-Niggurath, however, i might indulge.

Actually, if it were “Candide”, i’d go with it.
Maybe not the best namesake for a child...

w00t. Congrats to SJS and his wife. Give them both a smack on the ass for me.
Only if they're yelling your name!

how about Maeahhfhimk (Irish, pronounced "Mick")So long as it isn't "Mac" or "Mc" (talked about that on the way home when Verdigroth called me about this particular thread)
Candida (vaginal yeast infection)
IS IT?
o.9

hehe, so even the oldies can get out of hand.See, that's the thing ... we didn't finish the play before that fella reported it. Apparently, even when you know the person and you have a play argument, it still can appear as flaming even if the two are making it up entirely.
Those kinds of play are still apparently against the rules, so i fucked up.
*shrug*

good luck with the kids thing, might even sell one at a good price, if you're lucky.:)Rent is best! There's premiums for upkeep and all, but it works out if your know your consumer target.

Mark because Straughn apparently has a hard time hitting the mark.

Then how's he going to discipline the little bugger?

Male: Anslem.
Interesting choice! Anything to do with Jake's book, or is that a coincidence?
Or this one?
http://www.essortment.com/argumentsexist_rbxf.htm
*bows*

Female: Zoe or Cassandra.Also, interesting choices ... Cassandra has a whole lot of different meanings and references, as does Zoe.
Why those, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm finding myself more and more partial to the arabic names of late, but since i'm half (or slightly less) of the equation there, i'll probably get passed over for the irish ones. I'm german/english/irish/scotch and wifey is irish/dutch/italian/cree (although she often says she doesn't know)
...
she found "Kreszentia" and we're mulling that over now too. :)

Maybe not the best namesake for a child...

If they're like me and they think at all the way i did as i grew up, it'll be pretty appropriate, actually.
*nods emphatically*

Sidney and Leslie. The best part is, they're gender-neutral.

Very true. Thank you! *bows*

meh arabic names are smoother on the throat

Akilah's my favorite Arabic girl name. Sounds great, looks good on paper, and has a meaning fit for EVERY NS debater: intelligent and logical. ;)

A good Arabic female name is Yasmina(Jasmine) after the flower.

I think everybody *other than* Isle de Tortue would take issue with that. :D
Thank you *bows*
I do like that name.

meh arabic names are smoother on the throat

Very, very true.

Obviously Aaron, as it is my name. Plus, you'll be in good shape whether you're in Israel or the rest of the Middle East.

Yes, i agree! One of my top four favourite fragrances as well.
We're seriously considering that one. *bows*

Your name is Aaron? Cool! Nice to meet the real you, Aaron. You've been *sensibly* discreet in sharing that information before, iirc.
*bows*
most likely of unknown Egyptian origin. Other theories claim a Hebrew derivation, and suggest meanings such as "high mountain" or "exalted"
"Exalted" works. :)

How about La'Qaviosious?

Girl: Sharkey
Boy: Reginald

How about La'Qaviosious?

French Klingon?
Interesting choice. Is there a story behind it?

Girl: SharkeyAs in, the Machine?

Boy: ReginaldAs in, Dwight?
Interesting choices.

French Klingon?
Interesting choice. Is there a story behind it?

No, it just sounds interesting. Plus, your child can laugh as teachers try to pronounce his/her name.

Anyway, how about Bradley for a boy. It's english for either a stream or a meadow. How calming is that, seriously? And it's my name, so it's obviously superior.

Thank you :)
Of course, i turned the other cheek.
The irish name .... interesting.
Dante, though ... WHY? The guy had a serious chip on his shoulder. ;)

haha...there's a long list of Irish names with really basic pronunciations

As in, the Machine?
As in, Dwight?
Interesting choices.

I was actually thinking of Sharky and George Crimebusters of the sea, but Sharkey looks cooler. And who's Dwight?

No, it just sounds interesting. Plus, your child can laugh as teachers try to pronounce his/her name.That is a good point, and almost a good enough reason to do it. The wife is the hard sell here. :D

Anyway, how about Bradley for a boy. It's english for either a stream or a meadow. How calming is that, seriously? And it's my name, so it's obviously superior.Hello, Bradley. *bows*
Wifey's little bro is named "Glenn", which means "wooded meadow" or something like that. *insert Verdigroth joke here*

I was actually thinking of Sharky and George Crimebusters of the sea, but Sharkey looks cooler. Ah, okay. I ran a google search and came up with this one:

The things left in the ol' noggin'. *blinks*

Hello, Bradley. *bows*
Wifey's little bro is named "Glenn", which means "wooded meadow" or something like that. *insert Verdigroth joke here*

Call me Ishmael. And by Ishmael, I mean Brad.

"that drunk guy" works too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_John
The things left in the ol' noggin'. *blinks*

Well I'll be jiggered. Dwight, eh?

In all seriousness I always liked Isabel as a girls name. Or Heather.

Call me Ishmael. And by Ishmael, I mean Brad.
I hope, sincerely, that my kid never develops such a twisted and disproportionate sense of vengeance that they should wish their chest were a cannon.
It's fairly obvious that "normal" is out of the question, but i'm going to try pretty damned hard to steer them clear of "dangerously psychotic".
*notes Fiddleysticks' post*

*notes Fiddleysticks' post*

It's really not that bad. You get used to the voices after a few years.

Well I'll be jiggered. Dwight, eh?Ayup. "Sir Reginald Dwight" sound any worse or better than "Sir Elton John"?
A decade ago or more, i seriously considered the $100 name-change option. Never did it. It seems my name serves a particular function that i sorta live up to. *shrug*

In all seriousness I always liked Isabel as a girls name. Or Heather.Pretty sure the wife won't go for the first one ... ex-history and such. Pretty name though.
Heather is a good name although i had a strong fixation on one in high school (and upon reflection, it was a rare case of being deservedly so) ... and i always think of that awesome movie. :D

Max Power
Seven
Mug...

...Maxwell House

It's really not that bad. You get used to the voices after a few years.

In all seriousness, if they're like me, they'll deal with voices and extremely strange circumstances too.
Just don't want a tweaked sense of vengeance. There's too much of that in this world as it is.

Boy: Sue

Girl: Latrina

Or you could hang conventions, stop caring, and name your kid like seven or eight "K"s in a row.
Is that illegal?
Or a musical note. Teachers have enough trouble pronouncing the way names are ludicrously spelled today, wait until you lay an E-sharp on them. ;) You can just teach your kid to say "You're pronouncing it wrong," and he/she will never have to learn another word of English for the rest of his/her life.

Myrth, regardless of the baby's gender.

I have a geography teacher who swears to god a workmate of a friend named their child Chlamydia, tho I'm not sure if I beleive him. Apparently they liked the sound of it.

Sam is a good gender neutral name. Samuel for boys and Sammie/y for girls.

Max Power

My wife's not against porn names, but me, notsomuch.
:p

That, and wifey says "thumbs-down". *shrug*
She hasn't pooh-poo'd Tricky Mona yet.
Well, until she saw me type it. And *now* she says, "no porn names!" :confused:

*dodges*

Girl: Latrina
That's almost certainly dooming them to a series of near-tragic near-deaths.

Ah well, Veronica it is then. :p
That one came up 1 1/2 hours ago .... :D
and, almost immediately, i started thinking about Riverdale.
Corn nuts!
*smash*

Myrth, regardless of the baby's gender.

Myrth as the first name,
Poll-Option as the middle name. *nods*

You have a lot of good ideas.

Awwww, congrats! *fluffles and such*

I've always been partial to Noah, Declan, or Donovan as boys' names, and Rosa for a little girl. The boyfriend's partial to Deandra, which I really don't like, though Deirdre's a nice one.

(Clearly, I'm Irish. Can you tell? :p)

Regardless of what you name him/her, I hope it's a healthy little bundle of love. Have fun for the next nine months. ;)

I hadn't heard of Declan before - that's an interesting one. I've liked Deirdre too, especially since Ronin and a girl i knew in college. Noah keeps reminding me of Steve Carell, which of course connotates that part on Bruce Almighty where he's trying to broadcast and keeps billowing out that funny shit. :p
And - we have a friend named Donovan. Quite a character. :)

Regardless of what you name him/her, I hope it's a healthy little bundle of love. Have fun for the next nine months. ;)Thank you. *bows*
So far, it's been morning sickness after morning sickness, singular conversation persuasion, and *irritatingly* sympathetic sensations. She says my boobs are getting bigger, too ...

Second trimester. ;) It's the second trimester you look forward to.

First, you have to get through the morning sickness, and by the third, I bet she'll feel so large and unbearably hot and uncomfortable in her own skin that sex will not be the first and foremost thought on her mind.

Second trimester. ;) It's the second trimester you look forward to. ... THAT's going on the calendar, all pronto-like. *salivates*
bags of hornyflesh walking around all horny-like

First you have to get through the morning sickness, and by the third, I bet she'll feel so large and stifling hot and uncomfortable in her own skin that sex will not be the first and foremost thought on her mind.
She says she'd trade morning sickness for the horniness *any* day. As in, *any day now*.
She also says that she can't understand a guy's sexual attraction to a woman who is, in essence, being more manly than womanly, what with the constant gas, lethargy, inability to wash clothes and other graces in appearance and accomplishment.
:confused:
She already puts off more heat than me *finally*

nah, my little sis is pretty sweet, nut she is very bossy

Good, good :)

Don't worry about that kind of thing. The craziest things can happen in life - for example, i watched my mom get $50 from a family member RIGHT in front of me after we turned around, after finishing our vows and the pronunciation, and of course she yelled "He did it!" :confused:

I hope you people aren't just spitting out random names you think would be cute and sweeter than a penis shaped lollipop.

Straughn's child will henceforth be known as Hybrid.

I do suggest the godparents be Mia Farrow, and Max von Sydow.

For great justice, perhaps.

Leave it to me to make a thread that bites me in the butt...suffice to say next time I may not inform the subject of the joke...then again...I can be nice when I am not paying attention.

How about Allah or Yahweh?

I do suggest the godparents be Mia Farrow, and Max von Sydow.

You know of course i would allow no other gods for my children :p
Max was alright though.
Mia Farrow? Isn't that Woody Allen's ex?

How about Allah or Yahweh?Think about how that sounds with a german last name. Can't see it just yet - although the middle name will be the balance.
Wifey says "uhm, no. Don't really want to name my kid after anyone else's 'god'. "

So Straughn finally got around to propagating the species with his spouse. Congrats to him. Now the question is. What should the child be named? Feel free to suggest names for a boy and girl and your comments about them. I hope he sees this it might give him ideas.

Boy: Mark
Girl: Josephina

Those are my recommendations.

:eek:

Straughn's preggers?! Oh my. And here I thought I'd be the one to bear his love child. :(

Congrats, I guess. *sniffle* ;)

What should the child be named?

a german last name.:eek: Who knew?!



Almost forgot: the bestest baby name resource ever, in my not at all humble opinion: The Baby Name Wizard (http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Name-Wizard-Magical-Finding/dp/0767917529/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202647203&sr=8-1) - here's their own site (http://www.babynamewizard.com/) with a few sample entries that illustrate how they do it.



Edit: This post will likely show up again somewhere down the line under a different name - because apparently during the last 15 minutes when jolt was down not only did it post this without telling me, it also logged me in with my other nation's name and now the same post is off waiting to be moderator approved... *head spinning*

For all things good,gooey, and Elky, do NOT, under any circumstances, do any of the following:


name your kid with some sort of trendy name

name your kid after a family member

name your kid after any sort of movie/book/comic/whatever character that anyone else might know

pick a name that you have a previous attachment to another person with, be it positive or negative

make the 'meaning' of the name the main reason for picking it

choose a name unusual for the sex of the kid

choose an all too "peculiar" / outlandish / whatever name. If you really feel the need to do this, at leat have the decency and mercy to tack on an all-round normal middle name they can revert to.

forget that the naming is not a process intended to allow your wife+you to let your creativity and oh so quirky personalities run free and express themselves, but it's supposed to give a name to the child that it'll be able to live with comfortably. This is for the kid, not for you.



My parents tell me that having your child turn around and take another name than the one you gave to them is a very hurtful experience (and I can say the same from the child's perspective), so don't provoke it by doing any of the above.

pick a name that you have a previous attachment to another person with, be it positive or negative
make the 'meaning' of the name the main reason for picking it
choose a name unusual for the sex of the kid
choose an all too "peculiar" / outlandish / whatever name. If you really feel the need to do this, at leat have the decency and mercy to tack on an all-round normal middle name they can revert to.
forget that the naming is not a process intended to allow your wife+you to let your creativity and oh so quirky personalities run free and express themselves, but it's supposed to give a name to the child that it'll be able to live with comfortably. This is for the kid, not for you.

My parents tell me that having your child turn around and take another name than the one you gave to them is a very hurtful experience (and I can say the same from the child's perspective), so don't provoke it by doing any of the above.

Oh man don't listen to this.
Go wild nothing wrong with naming a child after another family member (so long as it's a distant cousin or older generation), but why bother when there's so many names out there?
What about.
Boy: Smeghead.
Girl: Concertina.
just kidding, probably sound advice, or how about Kratos for a Boy, and Liberty for the girl.

This is the part where Ifreann shows up with the "Winner of Thread" pic.
*bows*
You have a lot of good ideas.

Thanks. If you were here, I'd high-five you.

straughn and straughnette

of course.

Here's a couple recommendations for you.

Boy: Erich Zann [lastname]
Girl: Asenath [middlename] [lastname]

I particularly like Asenath myself.

Gabriel/Gabe
Elena
Jay
Leanna
Rhiannon
Tricia
Brad
Bruce
Alex
Bailey

Keep in mind while searching through these names that about half of them will make people think your son/daughter is, in fact, The Dark Lord.

boy: Son Of Straughn
girl: Straughni

So Straughn finally got around to propagating the species with his spouse. Congrats to him. Now the question is. What should the child be named?

Boy: Tito
Girl: Yasamin

Almost forgot: the bestest baby name resource ever, in my not at all humble opinion: The Baby Name Wizard (http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Name-Wizard-Magical-Finding/dp/0767917529/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202647203&sr=8-1) - here's their own site (http://www.babynamewizard.com/) with a few sample entries that illustrate how they do it.

Meh (http://www.behindthename.com/)

Meh (http://www.behindthename.com/)
My point exactly.

Finley is a nice name for a girl..

boy: Son Of Straughn
girl: Straughni

I was going to propose something similar in a light-hearted manner, but thinking about it, just plain Straughn is actually a realistic sounding name. As long as he (or she, it would work with a girl almost as well) never found where it comes from, he/she will probably be happy with it.

Meh (http://www.behindthename.com/)

I concur. The same people also have a surname website, which has a similar URL that I can't remember.

i always liked the name Saxon. i had a great-uncle named Saxon, Saxon Norman. fucking quality name.

i really like Lilith for a girl too

Boy: Zagnut

Girl: Fooby

:)

Boy: Bob

Girl: Boblina

how about Buddha ?
There are names i'm considering from the discipline, but i'll only use Buddha as a nickname. I don't want any country banning my child for any reason they haven't yet deserved. :)

:eek:

Straughn's preggers?! Oh my. And here I thought I'd be the one to bear his love child. :(

Congrats, I guess. *sniffle* ;)

Not like i didn't make the offer somewhere around a zillion times, subtly, +/- a half zillion or so. :p
Thank you. :fluffle:

Rick Roll.
That would be *very very* appropriate, but i don't think my kid'll get the joke til they're about 2 1/2 and i have to get them their own laptop.

Straughn having a child?

Given his posting style, I think the name Link would be apt.

I've always liked the idea of naming a boy Plato - I'd like to be called Plato.

For a girl, with my keen sense of the prevailing future fashions I'm going to recommend: Mathilda.

You... know that guy?I thought i did. *shrug*
Remember when we were talking 'bout Ruffy and you asked if that wasn't really him or not?
<.<
>.>
...if they'd been paying attention they'd have noticed i was offline for the last two so-called "retorts". They would almost make a sale there, but frankly, i liked the way Corny did it better. At least he had a maneuver named after him. *shakes head*

I hope that's true because it'd be awesome. :pIt is true. Not lying for dramatic effect. I don't know how many people had bets going. My dad says he never thought i'd be able to be cool through it, but i sang Jeff Buckley's "You & I" to her that day, and he said he'd basically lost all his doubts about me. I told him it was good that he doubt, for through the right process, it would steel his resolve. :)


:eek: Who knew?!Uhm, i did? :p
Very german name. It means (get this) "Pure heart".
Verdigroth is a german too, btw.

Edit: This post will likely show up again somewhere down the line under a different name - because apparently during the last 15 minutes when jolt was down not only did it post this without telling me, it also logged me in with my other nation's name and now the same post is off waiting to be moderator approved... *head spinning*Ah, that would explain the "the fuck?" tagline. :p
Thank you. :) *bows*

You are SOOOOOOOOOO close :D
You know how everything with me is like this other twisted inside joke?

boy:la
girl:laTeletubbies names are so not happening.

Boy: Max
Girl: Violet.

Weren't those in a flick or a game? They seem SO familiar .... :confused:

For all things good,gooey, and Elky, do NOT, under any circumstances, do any of the following:


name your kid with some sort of trendy nameNot gonna happen.

name your kid after a family memberDitto.

name your kid after any sort of movie/book/comic/whatever character that anyone else might knowNot even Yossarian? :(

pick a name that you have a previous attachment to another person with, be it positive or negativeThis is all around good advice in most relationship circumstances. *nods emphatically*

make the 'meaning' of the name the main reason for picking itIt's one of many.

choose a name unusual for the sex of the kidSo "Pat" or "Sue" won't cut it? :(

choose an all too "peculiar" / outlandish / whatever name. If you really feel the need to do this, at leat have the decency and mercy to tack on an all-round normal middle name they can revert to.

forget that the naming is not a process intended to allow your wife+you to let your creativity and oh so quirky personalities run free and express themselves, but it's supposed to give a name to the child that it'll be able to live with comfortably. This is for the kid, not for you.
Oh, this i know, i know. There's been some good advice about that here so far. :)


My parents tell me that having your child turn around and take another name than the one you gave to them is a very hurtful experience (and I can say the same from the child's perspective), so don't provoke it by doing any of the above.Like i was saying, as a kid i almost did the same for $100. I didn't though, since it occurred to me that people will nickname me whatever for whatever reasons, often for what i do. Same likely circumstances for the kid as well, which is why the middle name will be as important as the first one. :)

ADDENDUM:
I have had a menagerie of pets before, and of course, some of the more interesting names have come up for them.
Oscar ... Muad'dib ... Phreduard'oh ... Sussudio ... Manna ... Bump ...
So of course i'm not using those. :p

Oh man don't listen to this.
Go wild nothing wrong with naming a child after another family member (so long as it's a distant cousin or older generation), but why bother when there's so many names out there?

Kratos? Interesting choice. :)
Liberty makes me think of Captain Liberty from The Tick. :p
Captain Liberty: Personality? He's a dog. He sits, he rolls over, he plays dead. How much?
Randolph: Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to help you, ma'am. Why don't you go rent a video tape or something instead of ruining some poor puppy's life with your single-woman-hormone clock-is-ticking impulse-buying nonsense.
Captain Liberty: Just sell me the damned dog!
Randolph: She's not for sale! Not to you. What you need is a singles chat room, ma'am, not some living creature.
:D

Boy: Erich Zann [lastname] Two names for the last name? Curious. :)

Girl: Asenath [middlename] [lastname]

I particularly like Asenath myself.As do i, and wifey does as well. :)
Thank you. *bows*

straughn and straughnette

of course.

Zoiks!
What about Straughnovich, McStraughn or MacStraughn? :p

Keep in mind while searching through these names that about half of them will make people think your son/daughter is, in fact, The Dark Lord.

I'm not completely convinced that they won't actually be that. :eek:
Surprised, really, no one's brought up "Damien" yet.

boy: Son Of Straughn
girl: Straughni

This reminds me ... wifey says "why not homage to Monty Python, and name the child, 'Ni!', exclamation point included?"
I think for a second how awesome that would be, and reply that it would only work with the second child. :p

Finley is a nice name for a girl..
I know ... KNOW ... there's something vaguely unwholesome about that, but can't quite put the ol' digit on it.
*ponders*

Boy: TitoYou know.... KNOW ... i can't go there. :p

Girl: YasaminJust maybe. It's definitely in the running. :)
Thank you. *bows*

My point exactly.
That's a sexy name for you.
http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/634.gif

Gabriel/GabeShe likes Gabe, actually. I wasn't so keen on angels of death for theme, though. :p
ElenaGood one. :)
JayReminds me of the Simpsons and where i grew *sic* up.
LeannaNot bad, although it might not clear my whole "no pornstar names" criterion. :p
RhiannonCan't help but start singing to that one.
TriciaShort for? Or just that? Just that isn't bad.
BradBrad's checked in! :p
BruceThere's quite a few reasons why she won't pick this one, the least of which not necessarily being that song from ELO, to say nothing of chainsaws and anal-dwelling butt monkeys. :p
AlexShe likes that one and many of its forms. :)
BaileyHmmm ... not sure about that one, but not entirely against it.
Thanks Sark. *bows*

FInley is the name of a WWE IRish 40 year old wreslter :p

FInley is the name of a WWE IRish 40 year old wreslter :p

That would be why Ruffy mentioned him, ayup. *shudder*

Boy or Girl: Trevorlicious Framboise Xcalibur.

It's gender neutral.

The child will thank you for it later on.

Boy or Girl: Trevorlicious Framboise Xcalibur.

Two and a half of those are porn names!
If the child thanks me, it'll be for not burdening them with a FAKE stage name :p

Congratulations!! I fear for the world, but still. Yay.

I haven't read the whole thread because, come on, really. Life is short.

I couldn't possibly help you pick a name without knowing your surname, because they really do have to match well, but I do think it is important that you NOT pick certain names.

In addition to the No Parental Creative Self-Expression, No Dead Relatives' Names, and No Weird Spellings rules, I also urge you not to pick any names that could be euphemisms. In addition to Finley (I agree, there's something suggestively vague about that), this would include names like Fanny, Dick, and Peter, etc. Also, try to avoid naming your child after famous pains in the ass, because names have a way of enforcing their own destiny on a person. Also, please don't pick gender neutral names, for the sake of others. Gender neutral names are a major annoyance when trying to address a business letter, having nothing for reference but a business card that doesn't show a Mr/Ms by the name. What is the salutation supposed to be -- Dear Mr/Ms/Sir/Madam/Other?

And whatever you do, don't be like my uncle Fred, who fathered a whole tribe and named them all after characters from Wagner operas. I'm not kidding. Don't do that.

Boy: Olaf

Girl: Laura

Saxon is a cool name too, of course. :)

Straughn having a child?Ayup. :)

Given his posting style, I think the name Link would be apt.Heh. Weird how i kept thinking of video games when i saw that ... then i was on another thread doing just exactly that, and figured it out. *duh*
Also - wifey and i watch Prison Break :p

I've always liked the idea of naming a boy Plato - I'd like to be called Plato.Not a bad one at all. First thought was Ira Plato from NPR, second was Beetle Bailey, neither of which are bad connotations at all. :)

For a girl, with my keen sense of the prevailing future fashions I'm going to recommend: Mathilda.Fashion? Tell me more. My wife has been watching far too much of that lately.

Straughn's strong strewn seed spawned? Congrats!

Aww. [/sappy]

Very german name. It means (get this) "Pure heart".
Verdigroth is a german too, btw.
"Pure heart"? Really? That would be... very unusual.
I.e. I'll just file this under "what Americans wish their names mean in their original languages" and not believe a word. ;P

"Pure heart"? Really? That would be... very unusual.

20 eBucks says it's "Reinhardt" or something along those lines. I'm always amused by people who desperately need some sort of 'meaning' in their name and will feel oh so much better knowing that they're not jus named "Schmitt" and that's it, but oh no, their name is an old derivation from the smith!

20 eBucks says it's "Reinhardt" or something along those lines.
Oh! Duh. I was thinking of "herz" which, well, nobody's called that.
I didn't even know until just know when I looked it up that the "hardt" can mean Herz, always thought it was just hart and stark and such.
Live and learn. Straughny? I take it back. ;P

Thank you. *bows*

Well, that was first and middle names.

You are going to let us know what you eventually decide, yes?

Buh? Since when is it not?

It is, doll, it is, just as "hardt" is "Herz" and all that crap. I don't contest that probably most of our surnames come from some 'meaningful' moniker or the other, I just like to mock the people who feel the need to find that meaningful root in their name no matter how far or deep they have to dig, just in order to show their 'meaningful name'.

How about:

Medea

Yes, I know, she's an evil witch but the name is great.

As a serious response (unlike my first one)

I have always been partial to...
Boy: Александр (Alexander)
and
Girl: Anastasia

I'm not completely convinced that they won't actually be that. :eek:
Surprised, really, no one's brought up "Damien" yet.

;) Way to dream big dreams, man.
I've always planned that my kid will be an unlikely hero who is thrust into a crusade to avenge me when I'm taken from him by raiders/space aliens. Throughout his harrowing journey into a strange new world, audiences will laugh, cry, and learn valuable lessons about life. He'll come to my rescue just as the pirate ship/Death Star is about to explode, and we'll forgive each other our past wrongs, and I'll tell him that I can't go on with him, and that he has to carry on my legacy. As he leaves me behind, the audience will be reminded of the symbolism present in father/son relationships, and movie reviewers will try to keep their eyes dry- but to no avail.
Then, during the celebration, I'll appear as a Force ghost and high-five him, saying: "You earned it. Let's have a beer."
Cheerful music will crescendo, the camera will fade out, and the credits will roll up.

...

At the least, I expect him to get a job when he turns sixteen.

Whereas, of course, you're iconoclastic, and have a singular title such as "Cher" :rolleyes:

I don't contest that probably most of our surnames come from some 'meaningful' moniker or the other,Good, because you would lose that contest.
I just like to mock the people who feel the need to find that meaningful root in their name no matter how far or deep they have to dig, just in order to show their 'meaningful name'.And the funny part is, you're soliciting your "important" opinion about it, on all things, a thread about names!
Show some class. There's a few different reasons why i posted that, none of which are out of line nor really meriting a superficial approach such as yours. You can go back to your own nom-de-nihil now and feel free to give mockery elsewhere.

EDIT : Just noticed your sig, and in light of that, i would be well advised to take everything you say as equally meaningless, so for certain no one should take you more seriously than yourself. :p

Straughn's strong strewn seed spawned? Congrats!

Name: Chutney.

Works for either a boy or girl.
Can i just take the bolded one? That's awesome! :p

"Pure heart"? Really? That would be... very unusual.
I.e. I'll just file this under "what Americans wish their names mean in their original languages" and not believe a word. ;P
You mean i should have the name "Anafranil"? :p

Oh! Duh. I was thinking of "herz" which, well, nobody's called that.So what do you think of "Bort"? :p

Live and learn. Straughny? I take it back. ;P
Live, learn, forget, confabulate, get mocked, suffer, live, learn, forget, confabulate, get mocked, suffer .... at least that's my cycle. :)

It's ok as a second name; the one you never tell your friends you have because it's too weird.
Wifey probably wouldn't go for it, even though she respects my appreciation for it. :)
One of my favourite literary characters <.<

You are going to let us know what you eventually decide, yes?I guess i'll be petitioning Verdigroth to see about poll results ... if he shows up again :(

Boy: Zoidberg
You just made a-loadsa brownie points with me. :D

Two and a half of those are porn names!
If the child thanks me, it'll be for not burdening them with a FAKE stage name :p

No, no. It's a strong, dynamic name.

If you're not keen on Trevor, you could make it Johnnylicious, Katelicious or Chloelicious for example. Framboise = raspberry in French & Xcalibur was King Arthur's magic sword. A name like that will bring prosperity & good fortune to anyone who bears it. It will open many doors for your child. :)

If you're not keen on Trevor, you could make it Johnnylicious, Katelicious or Chloelicious for example.-licious .... that's the half-porn name. :p
Framboise = raspberry in FrenchYup, something to drink to intoxication. Possibly porn-ish (and Punjab the Sane's fav beverage)
That, and a raspberry is an older term for making "pthpbbpt" noises with your tongue. :p
Xcalibur was King Arthur's magic sword.That really, REALLY denotes something porn-flavoured! :D
A name like that will bring prosperity & good fortune to anyone who bears it. It will open many doors for your child. :)That's quite possibly true. I just think it'll be that much harder for my guidance to be helpful as a parent.

Straughn, I think if it's a boy, you should seriously consider naming him Ruffy

if it's a girl? Smunkee :)

She likes Gabe, actually. I wasn't so keen on angels of death for theme, though. :pOne of my favorite boy names
Good one. :)One of my good friends names
Reminds me of the Simpsons and where i grew *sic* up. haha...understandable
Not bad, although it might not clear my whole "no pornstar names" criterion. :pShe had just signed on...haven't talked to her in years, and you're right...and maybe names do influence who you become...;)
Can't help but start singing to that one.I will have a girl named that. The nickname "Rhi" is nice too.
Short for? Or just that? Just that isn't bad. I like it just Tricia (spelled that way too...not Trisha)...but could be short for Patricia.
Brad's checked in! :phaha
There's quite a few reasons why she won't pick this one, the least of which not necessarily being that song from ELO, to say nothing of chainsaws and anal-dwelling butt monkeys. :pThats my name :( ;)
She likes that one and many of its forms. :)I enjoy it...simple and kinda common, but not another "John"
Hmmm ... not sure about that one, but not entirely against it. It does allow for fun answers when they come home assigned to find out where their name came from ;)

I'm trying not to make my kid take sides TOO early :p


But Azreal is an awesome name, i am actually thinking of changing my name to it!

My 2 year old nephew is called Isaac. :)

i have two good friends called Isaac. and Ike is a fucking cool nickname. only one of them uses it though.

Problem is, people will start singing Smurf tunes when they're around you. :eek:

Hmph. To each his own...

The first part sounds more expensive than my various bodily fluids will bring in, and i can only do sleep-deprivation tests so often before my work starts to suffer.
And after all that, pimping/whoring really doesn't hold my focus, which is bad press.

Straughn, I think if it's a boy, you should seriously consider naming him RuffyHmmm, like Ill Rufferto? I'll mull that over.

if it's a girl? Smunkee :)That's not a bad idea, actually. It would be a good thing. :)

I would hope so.
But ... she wastes ENTIRELY too much time watching fashion shows. :mad:

I still vote for Chutney. It's a great name.

Gotta give me some history there! PLEEEZ?

No history really, Chutney is just a relish or sauce. I just think it's a great word that has never been used as a name - but kind of sounds like one. Sounds like a character in a Harry Potter book. It would be a good name for a chubby English schoolboy.

But then again, I am legally insane in most countries. So feel free to disregard the suggestion.

Has anyone suggested the name "Hezbollah" for a boy? I think it would make for interesting conversation.

Sorry, i forgot. I haven't had any pix taken of me of late, which illustrates it nicely. Having to go with Ruffy's pix of me.

No "Dweezil" or "Moon Unit", in case you're thinking those too.
:p
