Title: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Furiously on October 24, 2006, 01:16:55 PM So rather then buy a baby name book, I figured I would pull an Ironwood and allow for the chance that one of you might have a decent name suggestion...
We have three months to find a name the wife and I can agree on - But I will still mock stupid ones. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Sky on October 24, 2006, 01:32:03 PM Armstrong. Megatron. Gilgamesh.
Beatrice. Hillary. Bernice. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: stray on October 24, 2006, 01:36:20 PM Benedict. BUTCH. Blaise. Bob.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 24, 2006, 01:37:45 PM Schild!
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Nebu on October 24, 2006, 01:39:55 PM Schild! I'd prefer Scott Child <Lastname>. Then they could call him S. Child and wait for the outrage. I've always been partial to Alexander (Alex for short) or Mitchell. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Furiously on October 24, 2006, 01:41:09 PM Beatrice. Hillary. Bernice. He's not gonna be a Cash song. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 24, 2006, 01:42:21 PM Nebu. Stray. Sky. Furiously. Umm... Signe!
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: stray on October 24, 2006, 01:42:38 PM Mitchell (http://www.mst3kinfo.com/satnews/dvds/mitchell.jpg) Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 24, 2006, 01:43:14 PM I'm so excited!

Name him something semi- normal but with geeky roots- like after one of the 9 Princes of Amber or something. Corwin, Julian, Benedict, etc. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Furiously on October 24, 2006, 01:46:02 PM I've always been partial to Alexander (Alex for short) or Mitchell. We were joking about famous war figures and noticed you really don't see many Hitlers nowadays. Alexander made me think of that. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Sky on October 24, 2006, 01:47:17 PM WayAbvPar would throw 'em at school!

Post by: stray on October 24, 2006, 01:58:49 PM As far as historical tyrants go, the names Ivan, Vlad, and Lil' Kim trump Adolph and Joseph.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Rasix on October 24, 2006, 01:59:28 PM I named one of my cats "Ivan". He's living up to it.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Furiously on October 24, 2006, 02:09:39 PM HAHAHAHAA! :heart: MST3K. God that was a classic ep. Name him something semi- normal but with geeky roots- like after one of the 9 Princes of Amber or something. Corwin, Julian, Benedict, etc. There will be no Corwins. Doubtful anything ending in Y or IE. Unlikely to start with the Letter J. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Llava on October 24, 2006, 02:21:24 PM First name: Castor
Middle name: Troy Other ones I suggested in Ironwood's thread, copied and pasted (post count ++): Owen (after Xanatos's assistant in Gargoyles- dude had a hand made of stone... I mean literally... that sounds like an innuendo but it's not) Bruce (after Batman) Adrian (can be girly though) Arkady (this one is especially good if you want him to be a mad scientist or serial killer) Cletus (Do it. Do it now. Name him Cletus.) Xavier. It's both the world's most powerful telepath and the coolest character on Guitar Hero. How can you go wrong? I like Wayne as a name, but I can't imagine addressing anyone under the age of 30 as Wayne. Probably because it's both my Dad's and Grandpa's name. How about August? I met a guy named that, but he goes by Gus. I kept thinking it was a waste of a pretty good name. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: stray on October 24, 2006, 02:23:15 PM Augustus is so much cooler.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Nebu on October 24, 2006, 02:24:05 PM How about August? I met a guy named that, but he goes by Gus. I kept thinking it was a waste of a pretty good name.

Post by: schild on October 24, 2006, 02:43:20 PM So...
Schild. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Ironwood on October 25, 2006, 02:11:05 AM If you read my baby thread, you'll note that I was totally at a loss for Boys names. I still am. I'm still thanking God I got a girl, since I probably wouldn't be happy with the name I picked.
In that thread, I listed all the blokes names, I think, but how about Robert ? Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Johny Cee on October 25, 2006, 05:23:18 AM How about Bruce?

Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: schild on October 25, 2006, 06:05:22 AM Darius (http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Darius.html)
If it was a girl I would have suggested "Lorene." I don't even know how to pronounce it. But it means "small victories." Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 25, 2006, 06:08:24 AM Rasix. Llava. WayAbvPar. Johnny Cee. Ironwood. Kenrick. (notice there is no d in that)
I can't believe how good I am at thinking up names. I should write a book. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Ironwood on October 25, 2006, 06:23:00 AM I figured I would pull an Ironwood. Helllo, Tiger. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Llava on October 25, 2006, 07:26:17 AM Yes, name him Llava.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: HaemishM on October 25, 2006, 08:03:02 AM Haemish, of course. If he's redheaded, double plus gud.
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Strazos on October 25, 2006, 08:15:47 AM Strazos would be a cool name. People might think he's a crazy Russian and not mess with him.
Also, Vincent....I'm shitty with names. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: WayAbvPar on October 25, 2006, 08:58:13 AM Name him after his father- Reggie :evil:

Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 25, 2006, 10:21:16 AM Just name him Ash. Groovy. Is that your name? I like that name. I think schild and Llava should rumble for it.

Umm... Signe! Would anyone know how to pronounce it outside a handful of people?(I think I do, but I cheated.) Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: tazelbain on October 25, 2006, 02:08:42 PM She gets mad if you call her Sign, like I did in Voicechat.

Karl is always good, Karl is a man! (No, not Charles). I met a guy called Rohan, I like it. But it might be a bit cliche these days. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: sinij on October 25, 2006, 06:34:17 PM Jesus
Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Llava on October 25, 2006, 09:18:49 PM Schild would kick my ass.
Name him Schild, I guess. (Middle name Llava.) Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: schild on October 25, 2006, 09:26:13 PM Schild Llava Furiously Reading F13
That's a hell of a name. How about Daniel Boodman T.D. Lemon Nineteen Hundred? Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 25, 2006, 10:06:24 PM If he's a boy and your son, maybe you should just call him Sonny Boy. Or name him after one of my favourite f13'ers... Shirley Bob.
Shirley Bob Furiously. That is an excellent name for a boy! Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Sky on October 26, 2006, 07:19:27 AM Cassius.

Waited to find out the gender. He wanted to use Conan if it was a boy. It was a girl. We tried talking them in to giving her Conan as a middle name.
Didn't fly. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: HaemishM on October 26, 2006, 12:56:33 PM Did they call her Sonja?

Or failing that, make his first name the same as his last name, and make his middle something usually used as a first name. Then he'll spend the rest of his life sounding like James Bond when he introduces himself. "Epstein, Bernie Epstein. Pleased to meet you." Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Llava on October 28, 2006, 09:30:07 AM Name him "I'm On Fire".
It has so many meanings (two) it has to be the most useful name ever. Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: WindupAtheist on October 28, 2006, 12:55:20 PM Middle name: "Muthafuckin'"

Title: Re: Name my son! Post by: Signe on October 30, 2006, 06:36:08 AM No, his name was Hymie (nickname for Hyman) and he wasn't Spanish, he was Jewish. He was short and a wee bit tubby and he suffered greatly. When I worked in artist management, I bumped into him again. He was cute, an entertainment attorney and driving a Porsche.

He will need to take after his mom then. Last time I saw Furiously participating in a sport, he was sitting on his ass in the middle of a fairway (after having fallen out of his golf cart) drunk out of his gourd. Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Furiously on January 25, 2007, 02:28:14 PM I golfed the best game of my life that day. I was celebrating. I don't even want to think about how much I consumed that day. I'm frankly amazed my liver didn't just slap me. I definately shot better then my wife. My shots were straight and true. Unlike someone I know that is a master of the hook.
edit to add: I was lining up my shot from the ball height. As for middle name, as I said, I wanted to go with Bruce. Instead I went with Wayne. (Which is actually my father's middle name.) The most important thing to us was that is was a good yelling name, "Like Alexander Wayne Peperoni! You get your ass in here!" Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born.

Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Abagadro on February 01, 2007, 11:05:54 AM Congrats. My advice is to Ferberize (http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babysleep/7755.html) (or a variant thereon) the kid as early as you feel comfortable doing. It's a pain in the ass but works quite well and usually only takes a few days. You will have to be the hard-ass because the mom will always want to go in and comfort him. We waited until Alec was about 14 months and I wish we had done it at least six months earlier.
Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Furiously on February 01, 2007, 11:49:38 AM Oddly enough the only sound that wakes me up is a baby puking. I sleep through crying.

Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Yegolev on February 05, 2007, 11:20:55 AM I'll second the notion that Dad has to be the hardass. It did not occur to me to mention it for the same reason I did not mention the sky was blue, but on reading Ab's post I realized that I have been indoctrinated pretty well at this point.
Puking plus crying could be GIRD or the weak sphincter problem, we had a test and it was pretty conclusive my son had the weak sphincter (forget the name for the one at the top of the stomach) so we had medicine and diet changes to do. Cleared up after the third month. We regret not overreacting, which would have only been regular acting since it turns out it was a real problem when he would lay down. Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Furiously on August 08, 2007, 12:59:43 PM So, I'm playing with one of our cats while watching my son last night. Cat is jumping around like crazy.
So then I hear, "Kitty!" I turn around and realize my wife didn't say it. She turns to me, and we both shake our heads. (Of course we then smiled like crazy and coaxed him into saying it twice more). So there is the first word from my son. Title: Re: My son has been named... Also he's been born. Post by: Trippy on August 08, 2007, 01:13:10 PM What's the guy equivalent of a crazy cat lady?
