Elliot? You're gonna name the kid Elliot? No, you can't name the kid Elliot. Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste. You're not gonna name the kid Elliot. You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name! Like Nick.

Nick?

Yeah, Nick! Nick's the kinda guy you can trust. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kinda guy you drink beers with. The kinda guy that doesn't care if you puke in his car. Nick

I am not convinced yet on any of them.

She suggested Sebastian, but I said I'd beat him up before school myself, so that name is out...

if you let your wife name the kid any of those I will come end all 3 of you

Riley and Kierran sound like girls names and Gavin is just asking for a butt kicking.


Stick with classics and pick a name from your religion.

Name him Nimrod... Genisis 10:9 "like a mighty hunter before the lord like Nimrod." When we graduated highschool I totally put that as my favorite bible verse in the church bulletin.

Your wife totally sucks at the name game.
If I'd had a boy, his name would have been Scott.
Instead we named her Rebekah. :)

I like the ring of "Wayne Wilding"... Kind of old fashioned, but it sounds good to me...

What about something like Glenn or Allen?

How about Buck? Ed is a nice non-assuming name.
Hoagie would be like the coolest name in the world.
