what are you naming your son ?

Probably Charles.
Ill probably pass on the name Bryant to my son since I feel so special with the name

If I have more than one son I might, but the first one will be named something different, Charles is damn boring anyways.

Charles is a fine name, Chuck.

Peppermint Patty is that you?

:laugh:

Some Charleses really _HATE_ being called Chuck. So I do it whenever possible.

Cuz all the other names were already taken.

Oh wait...I guess that was too.


Actually they wanted to name me Steve, but my Aunt had her son first and used up Steve.

Spanky

My mom said I was a fat little baby that looked like Spanky (odd, since I'm skinny and always have been).

i was named stephen because my mom loves stephen king... just happened that my dad had the same name... worked both ways...

 

[KarenMarie]

[lobadobadingdong]

my parents didn't name me (insert name here), they named me doug, from my grandfather.

Buckwheat

My parents named me Andrew... after one of my dad's grandfathers or great grandfathers or something like that.

They hadn't decided on my middle name, Lewis, until after I was born. I hear that Dad suggested 'Lewis' while mom was giving my name to the attending nurse. He told mom that he liked it. We later found out that he wanted it to be Lewis because that was another name from his family.

So I got my entire (first, middle, and last) name from my dad's side of the family. A family that I absolutely hate, and that has disowned me. :|

I got named Belly because the dumba$$ who handled my birth certificate didn't know how to spell Billy.

[xSauronx]

that's really funny!

You would be surprised how many people have asked me if I really named my daughter VeggieFrog!

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Well, after my parents found out the doctor lied to them during an ultrasound and I was really a boy they said... ah f it lets just give him this name.

 

[crab]

My name is Chevy Nova.

Not sure why.

 

[jadinolf]

My first name is my father's and my middle name is my grandfather's.

 

[InlineFive]

My first name means "bright as a fire", because they said I have bright eyes.

 

[bigredguy]

well it was either bigredguy or fathead, either way my dad was pissed

 

[JulesMaximus]

I was named after a classical guitarist my parents, namely my Mom, was very fond of. My parents are both musicians trained in the classical sense. My father conducted and teaches music and my Mom played oboe for many years (never professionally but she could have been). You could probably figure out who I was named after partly by my member name.

 

[lykaon78]

Grandfather = Alfred
Grandfather = Arthur
Father = Ronald

Sum that up to Aaron.

But it may have just been one hell of a coincidence... I have never been able to get a straight answer out of my parents.

They named me Robyn because my dad was on the way to the hospital and there were a bunch of robins in the road, he had to slow down and honk to avoid running a bunch of them over. When he got to the hospital, I was already born (dads never went into the delivery room back then), and he asked to name me after the birds. My mom changed the "I" to "Y" to make it more interesting.
