Unless her choices were really hideous, I would probably go along with what the wife chooses.

I prefer
easy simple one or two syllable names:

John
George
Mike
Bill

Susan
Mary
Kim
Carol
Lynn

Would you teach him to be an uber badass too? :)


Also, Molly for a girl, Peter for a boy.

BOY NAMED SUE
by Shel Silverstein
  • My daddy left home when I was three,
    And he didn't leave much to Ma and me...
    Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
    Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid,
    But the meanest thing that he ever did
    Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue'.

    Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke,
    And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk.
    It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
    Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
    And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head.
    I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'.

    Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
    My fist got hard and my wits got keen.
    I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
    But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
    That I'd search the beloved patriot-tonks and bars,
    And kill that man that give me that awful name.

    Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
    And I just hit town, and my throat was dry.
    I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
    At an old saloon on a street of mud,
    There at a table, dealing stud,
    Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'.

    Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
    From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
    And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
    He was big and bent and gray and old,
    And I looked at him and my blood ran cold,
    And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do! Now you gonna die!"

    Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
    And he went down, but, to my surprise,
    He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
    But I busted a chair right across his teeth
    And we crashed through the wall and into the street
    Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

    I tell ya, I've fought tougher men,
    But I really can't remember when,
    He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
    I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
    He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
    He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

    And he said: "Son, this world is rough,
    And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough,
    And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
    So I give ya that name and I said good-bye.
    I knew you'd have to get tough or die,
    And it's that name that helped to make you strong."

    He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
    And I know you hate me, and you got the right
    To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
    But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
    For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
    Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'."

    I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
    And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
    And I come away with a different point of view.
    And I think about him, now and then,
    Every time I try and every time I win,
    And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
    Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

My wifes having twins in 4 weeks and when we started discussing names I immediatly said David James and James David (family names, I have 4 uncle Jims and 3 Daves (yes we originated in WV/KY)). I was half joking but she actually AGREED to it. We've modified them since though James Timothy and David Jean after myself and other family.

I've always liked Catherine for a girl's name, but if I marry someone who'll let me, I'd like to name my as-yet-theoretical daughter K'tran.

For a son, I would like to name him Soren after my favorite philosopher.

Fabrice would be pretty slick. He could be the leader of his little kid posse, and then they'd call his group of buddies the Fab Five or something. And at the parent teacher conferences, the teacher would be like "Your son is FABULOUS."

David, Marshall, Miles for a boy.

Ada, Maxine, Molly for a girl.

I'm sure this'll change within a couple years when I'm actually mature enough to reproduce.
