what do you plan on naming your kids when you have them?? i always find it interesting to see how normal or crazy people get with their kids names. i remember reading about parents who named their kid Xerox. how awesome is that

nik and i have some names, we'll presume they take my last name:

(M) Jon Bovi Cousin

(F) Nikki Pants Cousin

(MF) Coach Janky Spanky Cousin (new today, thank you Clinton Portis)


i'm also all for starting a kid's name with "The" as in "The Steve" or "The Wanda"

pirate is the best name i've ever seen

however, i would name a kid mailbox.

After Nikki "The" Edwards?

My name for my first daughter is all picked out, but I won't tell you folks cause you'll steal it!

Believe it or not, I got a name for a girl and boy.

I like Jackson for a boy.

I like to think that my choices are cool but, I don't know.

If I have twins, we're naming them Milk and Cookie.

in highschool my friends and i used to make up lists of names we wanted to name our kids .. i probably still have the lists somewhere .. but i have names picked out too ...

i'll probably never have kids though.

i like the name Silence.

and Zooey, but that one's getting too common

I use to like the names Pheonix and Gryphon but I'm not so sure anymore.

That's hilarious, because I was just reading a historical account of a British settler coming to Canada and it contains this passage:

"Strange names are to be found in this free country... I have enjoyed many a hearty laugh over the strange affectations which people here designate very handsome names... The love of singular names is here carried to a marvellous extent. It was only yesterday that, in passing through one busy village, I stopped in astonishment before a tombstone headed thus: - "Sacred to the memory of Silence Sharman, the beloved wife of Asa Sharman." Was the young woman deaf and dumb, or did her friends hope by bestowing upon her such an impossible name to still the voice of Nature, and check, by an admonitory appellative, the active spirit that lives in the tongue of woman? Truly, Asa Sharman, if thy wife was silent by name as well as by nature, thou wert a fortunate man!"
-Susanna Moodie, Roughing It In The Bush

I have nothing constructive to add to this thread but I just laughed cuz I was reading Monkey's post when a commercial came on tv about movie... "Love Monkey"

If Bob Rock ever has a boy, he should name him Stone

:::troy:::

I met a guy named Robert Robertson... and he swore to me that's his full legal name given by his parents. He said he was teased all thru school... the fave nickname in high school was Square (short for Robert squared, i.e. robert to the power of 2)

I just don't understand why parents would do that!!

my mom knew a girl in high school who married a guy whose last name was the same as her first name.

When I was in sixth grade, my older brother had a friend whose last name was Thomas. She liked me (in a "aw-cute-little-kid-way") and she used to suggest we marry and I take her last name.

...someday.
