People should wait a little while before naming their kids after attributes.

I got stuck with Matthew because they we're expecting me to die right after birth. They said the first thing that came to mind, or so I'm told. My brother lucked out with Robert. Bastard.

Winner.

Robert

They are all common as shit and boring.

Max is the best name :thumbsup:

A kid in my daughter's pre-k class room has the first name of Max. His last name is Pounds.

Max Pounds. He's totally destined for porn with that name.

Don't be silly, Gil.

Especially if your last name is Power.

Has anyone actually ever been named "Tex"?

 

[PliotronX]

If I ever have kids, (highly unlikely) and had a boy the ONLY name I would ever name him is: William. And his childhood name would be Will. Not Bill, billy, whatever... Will.

Funny you menntiton that; one of my classmates decides what he will be called every time we see him. And if you call him Bill or William on the wrong day he will angrily correct you. So I started calling him Billiam to hedge my bets.

on your keyboard, how do you enter in the dots over a letter?

On Windows if I remember right, it was Alt Numpad 0255. On Debian/Xfce I have keyboard composition. I set it to the menu key, so [Menu] plus " plus e gives me ë

Tex Avery, of old school Warner Bros cartoon fame?

I have a 19th month old named Ever, a 3 year old boy named Niccoli and one child named after me; but my name is a rather unique-ish spelling.

Meet a guy at a square dance who told me his kids were named Walker and Tex.

Similar to his favorite movie.

The wife confirmed.

Name your daughter Magil and she'll call herself 'Lil...

But everyone will know her as Nancy.

/win

 

[SolMiester]

I'm not a parent, but I don't understand why everyone needs to come up with something unique to name their kid. What's wrong with the good old basic names? I haven't seen parents using these names at all recently:
- John
- Christopher
- Stephen
- Daniel
- Benjamin
- Robert
- William
- Elizabeth
- Ann(e)
- Rachel
- Rebecca
- Katherine

Oh come on, gays ruined most of those nice names...LOL

Depends what your kid's name is...

Why Ever?

Lets all start naming our kids middle name Aloysius


I have no middle name and I am a junior as well so I have been telling people my middle name is that for decades. Funny sounding in the middle of an Italian name

 

[highland145]

Lets all start naming our kids middle name Aloysius

One of my best friends growing up.

My parents had the bright idea to give me my Mom's maiden name as my middle. That's effed.

 

[BoberFett]

I want to name my boy Cantankerous; he can be Tank for short.

KT

 

[BoberFett]

This must come from some movie or something since names are often tied to popular culture at the time. You'll see a decade where every woman is named Audrey (Hepburn) then every woman is named Elizabeth (Taylor). Right now everyone is named Bella or Isabella or Tacobella from Twilight. Ethan (Hunt) is from Mission Impossible.

My daughter is named after Audrey Hepburn. Sort of. Her character opposite Cary Grant in Charade was named Reg (Regina), of course that was almost 40 years after the movie was released.

I went to school with a girl named National Velvet never understood her parents logic.

[SheHateMe]
