Baby names

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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."

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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

FELIPE NO

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

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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).

Yeah, me too. Considering they're my first and last names respectively. zomg do you know me or something? :O

So yeah I would name my son Victor. Not sure about middle name though because although Xavier is a pretty much the best middle name ever, I don't want to make my son a 'Jr.' or a 'the Second.' I might say Leon but I'm not sure.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well... You're name is incredibly distinctive, and the chances of this happening urges me to invest in lotto tickets.

FELIPE NO

I dunno, Richard.

Or, if it's a girl, go with something exotic, like Santamaria!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm not too sure what I would call a son of mine, but it sure as hell would not be a common name like Peter, Simon, David, James, Chris, Paul. ¬_¬

I would go for somewhat rarer names like Eddy, Edgar or Lukas. I dunno ¬_¬

For a girl I quite like the name Rachel, the only name that has really got my attention.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For a girl's name, my two top choices are Rosalina and Zoe. Rosalina comes from my mother's mother Rosa, and my father's mother Lina. Zoe is the name I would have had if I was a girl, assuming my father had had his way. Or was that Zelda?

For a boy, probably John William. John comes from my father's father. I never met that grandfather; in fact, I didn't know he was alive until we got a letter from his family saying he had just died. William comes from my father, who died when I was 9, so I'd like to include that as well. I might name a son after my mother's father Gaspare, considering he died when my mother was a child and I'd like to continue the name, but there's something about the name I just don't like.

Of course, in both situations (boy or girl) I'd like to include my spouse's grandparents' and other family members' names as well.

As for my father's step-father (the only grandfather I ever knew, who died when I was 2), I'm already named after him. I certainly don't want to pull a George Foreman; talk about uncreative, naming all his kids after himself.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've considered names since I was a little kid - mostly because that seems to be what girls do at slumber parties or some shit.

Anyways, I think we're pretty decided on Kallisti for a girl and Loki for a boy. I figure our son would be intensely made fun of, but hopefully he'll live up to his name in retaliation. =D

Let's not even get into Discordia, shall we?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Discordia! Another wacky way to punish my kid before they have conscious choice!

I'll add Persephone, Athena, Minerva for the girls.

For the boys: Apollo, Dionysus, Hephaestus

The mythological theme is really distinctive.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For girls I've always liked the names Julia, Lucy, Emily and Elizabeth. None of those Madison/Taylor fad names for my girls. Although I think Emily is still pretty popular.

For boys, I don't really care, I'd let the mother decide. As long as it's not Michael, Matthew, or any other overly-common Biblical derivative.

I'm unsure why half of these names are bad ideas. Athena? Doesn't sound too bad to me. I had a friend in high school named Athena. Minerva is pretty hilarious, though. And Persephone would probably go over well as a goth bitch.

Dionysus is actually not that bad, either. You could modernize it with "Denis," though.

Most amazing jew boots

I have some names in mind, but it would mostly depend on what the father looked like.

Boys: Victor, Trevor Gordon, Trent, Julio Augusto, Dallas, Houston, Robert, Tobias

Girls: Aria Sonnet, Libra, Daniella Libra, Maya, Maria, Rachel, Cherokee

These are all of the possiblities that I can think of for now. However, the chances of me finding a decent guy that won't dump me for my friends is a long shot, so if the names sound dumb then you have nothing to fear. However, some of the names like "Tobias" and "Daniella" I'm worried about b/c I don't know how much I really like the name "Toby" and I would get extremely angry if anyone called my kid "Danny" (I know very few good guys named "Danny" or "Jimmy"/"James").

ROFL. Nice one. Sadly, I knew a kid named Charles Peters, but his nickname was "Chuck". I wonder how he felt every time the secretary said, "Chuck Peters come to the office please."

Unless the kid ends up like the guy in that song "A Boy Named Sue". Then, he could end up being the greatest boxer/wrestler/martial artist.

It annoys me when celebrities try to give their kids these bizarre names like "audio science" and "pilot inspektor" (I should bite my tongue with "Aria Sonnet", but to me it seems poetic rather than bizarre). It's even more annoying when they give their kids these foreign names like "Satchel" or "Kal-el" (yes, from Krypton) and the kids don't even match the look of the foreign name. Suri, TomKat's kid, might have a chance at matching the exotic sounding name, but it's just weird seeing someone with blond hair and blue eyes being named "Makitah" or "Aheem". I am all for unique names, but some people go a little too far and I've seen white kids being made fun of because their names sounded too Latin American of African American. Also, seeing a Latin American named Boris was sort of weird too, but he's a very strong guy.

FELIPE NO

for boy: Alexei, i've no idea why

for girl: Lia, i've just always preferred this spelling to Leah and for some reason fell in love with it after hearing a song by Lia from I'VE, though i'm also starting to become attached to name Eika

I'm probably just influenced by my secondary school years though; we had about 3 Emma's, 3 Lucy's, 5 Katie's/Kate's, 2 Olivia's, 4 Georgia's, 3 Anna's, 3 Sophie's (i went to a small girls' school, less than 100 girls per year)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

My first child is getting named:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Persephone is an awesome name. So's Persimmon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think Amber is a beautiful female name, and using Amy as a nickname makes it perfect. For a boy, I think Felix is an awesome name. But this is just off the top of my head. Put into the unlikely scenario that I would actually have to name a child, I would agonize over it for several months.
