Magnus Pieroni and you can guarantee that at some point he will be competing for the World's Strongest Man.
I had the same name and thought proces as I was scrolling through this list. Roger, Landon, Tyson Brandon or Brendan, which has Celtic roots. Christian |

Go with Maximillian, but change his last name to Power.
"There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way."
"Isn't that the wrong way?"
"Yeah, but faster."
So some more names, okay:
Adrian
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.)
Dorian (I actually hate this name because I knew a punk kid named Dorian, but some people haven't had that exerience so they may feel different)
I like the Xavier suggestion. It's both the world's most powerful telepath and the coolest character on Guitar Hero. How can you go wrong?
Scotty McScottScottScotterNotItalianson. I don't know. Christ, don't they have websites for this?
People in my family are named:
Gregg
Andrew
Wayne
William
Brian
Gary
Bernard
Christopher
Travis
Steve
That's all the guys in my family. I have the most exotic name out of all of them (Gregg with two Gs at the end, thanks Mom & Dad- strap yourself in and feel the Gs!!) and it's really not that great a name.
I do 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.

Maybe you'd recognise him this way?  Still, when I think of Waynes, I think of this one:  Not a name I would pick. But, then, I'm the one who likes Sloopy.  |

Gordon is my father in law which is how that name got in there. My dad's name was Harold so if we have another one I will insist on it being worked in there, probably as the middle name Hal (because I like the Shakespearean quality of it). We have a ton of Franks all over my family (it's my middle name for that reason, but I don't like it that much so I doubt we'd use it anywhere).
We were going to go with Ian Hal for the next boy but my sister named her recently born son Ian so we don't know if we would go that route.
We probably aren't having another one anyways.

Alexander, or his historic opponent Darius. Both awesome names.
Celtic name: Niall. Italian name: Raul.
Mad foreign name: Gustav. Everybody will call him Gus in Glasgow, but you can go to cheese and wine parties and claim he was named after Mahler, Klimt, Holst, Hertz or Eiffel.

There is still an active lunatic fringe cult in parts of Ireland which worships Crom Cruaich, and among Scottish and Irish Catholics he's not unknown because he figures in St. Patrick's story. Not ideal if you want an easy time in Glasgow's schools, replete as they are with sectarian bullshit.

Maybe you'd recognise him this way? Nope. Seriously. I completely tune out when I see a Nike symbol. I know as much about this as your average Amish guy knows about Britney Spears. You can keep showing me pictures of K.Fed, but it isn't gonna click. Back to names: 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. |

Sounds great when I say it with my Groundskeeper Willie voice. Plus, it's what we're naming our first son, aside from the Pieroni part.

Yup, Charles Emmerson Winchester III. Cool enough name, but not the first character in that show I'd name a child after. Beats Frank Burns I guess. |

There aren't a lot of male names in my family, and they're either boring or strange:
Mark
Jonathan
Prentice
Oswald
Jeffrey
Philip
Since my middle name is Siobhan and I'm short on decent male names, how about Sean (as suggested before), Shawn or whatever the Scottish derivative is?
