Wrote any fantasy novels lately?

Geez, those are a bit too out there in terms of names. You may get away with it if you are part of the aristocracy. Otherwise, those are just impractical.

Even Frank Zappa had names chosen for his children that are a bit more palatable.

Orbison though, is a cool concept. Naming children after rock/country singers should be interesting. Imagine a boy named "Cash Lovett _____"

Yes...all to delude myself into feeling top-class ;)
If Orbison is a country singer then I'm not using that for sure....oh wait I just remembered that Orbison was a SMRPG monster...definitely not using that.

I would also make sure that the first name is easily pronounced. Surprisingly, people have so much trouble with "Kristian" even though it's Christian with a K instead -_-; You get all sorts of funky pronunciations.

My idea for a girl name is "Karin Sakura". "Karin" because it's a "normal" name here in Germany and "Sakura" because I'm a fan of Japanese culture and I like the translation: cherry blossom.

For a boy I have no idea yet...

I don't know abotu middle names but I've got it planned out for Connor if a boy or Elisebeth if a girl. I suspect I'll have a fight my hands when the time comes though as my fiancee doesn't care for either of those names.

Seriously though naming your kid Angelus is just sending him on a a one way trip to swirlytown don't do it.

And we all know how kids are these days. If not made fun of by their name, it's something else. And kids just seem to become more like smartasses these days and would probably think that.


Hey Dick, just how big is that dick of yours anyways? Oh hey John, you forget to flush? You know, shit like that.


I'm more concerned with the fact that some of those names are so common and there's more than one person with that name. The last thing I want is my kid to have such a common name that he gets confused everytime someone calls the name out, whether it be in school or on the street or at a store or some shit. It's the same with me, everytime someone says "James" I figure it's for me but in truth, it's for someone else.


Unique is the word for the day. :p

Yeah but angelus has a distinct fanboy tinge to it that could not work in anyone's favour. Trust me I know this I was withen an inch of being named Conan after the boooks and that couldn't have turned out well either. I'm sure you can find something unique yet not quite so mockible.

Just saying don't be surprised if he try's to go by his middle name.

I’d probably go for a more traditional name (and certainly avoiding any Hollywood trends. i.e place names). Unique is fine, but a difficult to spell or overly complicated name is out. For boys, I’d probably stray away from unisex names.

Haha. I just realized that myself. Still, they're solid names that have withstood the test of time.

Me and my fiance are going to name our daughter Emilia Amara and haven't decided on a boy's name yet.

I just found out that Tom Cruise named his newly adopted baby girl "Suri".

That's japanese for "pickpocket". Apparently he picked it because it's persian for "rose" but just didn't do his f***ing research.

I believe it's also Hebrew for princess.

Yes well Tom Cruise is neither Persian nor Jewish. He did, however, recently star in a movie about samurai.

Guys named Peter are made fun of all the time.

I probably wouldn't ever name my kid this, but I've always liked the name Rokusaboro. When you hear it in Japanese, it just rolls off the tongue. I don't have a clue in hell what it means, I just like the sound.

I'd never name my daughter after an allergy medicine.

I really don't see myself ever producing a family of some sort. (i.e Getting married, living the family life.).

But, should the day come that I'll have a son or daughter, these shall be the names:

Son: Jean
Daughter: Justine, Julia, Jen/Jennifer, or Julie.

Yes, 'J' names because my Dad's name starts with a J, my name starts with a J, my brothers' names start with J. What the heck, my family will grow up with J names. Then people can go and be like, "Don't ever mess with the Js," rather than be, "Don't mess with the Kwaks."

Cameron Diaz doesn't count as female
but seriously Wolfgang is an awsome name for a guy

I think Vincent is a cool name if it were a boy. For a girl Nina or Laura...

If/When I get married and if we have kids, I'm going to insist on naming at least one Cartman. :p. Yeah, as a first name, lol. I just hope I don't doom him to a life of being an asshole.

For a fella, I really like Leroy. I also like Victor or Xavier because they sound distinctive.

For a lady, I think I like Cleopatra (or Cleo for short). Alexandria also comes to mind. I always had admiration for the name Wendy because of it's origins, but ironically, it doesn't sound that unique.

Like Leeroy mmmJenkins?

Hey, my friend's cousin's name is Socrates. :)

You wouldn't like it anymore if you knew the one and only Leroy I've ever met in real life. He came from a family of pig farmers and he was literally the dirtiest, smelliest human being I've ever encountered. He rode my bus and he didn't have any friends. I used to think he was so gross but now I just think it's sad.

Isn't it funny how if you know someone and they made an impression on you (bad or good), you'll always associate their name with the impression they left? I hate the name "Candy" because the ickiest girl in our school had that name, and the most beautiful girl in my school was named "LaShawn." Now that's a pretty horrific name, but I know several girls from school who named their daughters LaShawn, and I'm sure it was because of the name association, because the actual name sucks.

I knew two Leroys in my life before I chose the name. One was a real scumbag who beat women, and the other was just a regular blue collar slob. Obviously I don't want to name my child after a scumbag, and the security guard slob is no prize pig either, but I still like the name.

I always thought about the name Bolek, after my eldest uncle from my dad's side who died at the age of 4 or 5. Since he never really lived, I thought about giving the name a legacy. Or I could always have a Stefan Babicz III (I was named after my grandfather).
