• So earlier this week the better half and I were driving home from work when she pulled out a piece of paper and asked for my opinion on a dozen possible names for girls should kkk jr. be a she. Good lord. Well, I tried my best to be good while she was announcing the names that made her “final cut,” and for the most part I was. Look, I know I’m going to get zero say in what this kid’s going to be named. I know this is all a dog and pony show. I know that, and I’m fine with it. However, the best part of this came after the names were read and I gave my answer. There was a pause and following exchange of words was made.

 

“Are you sure that’s your favorite name?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“You picked the same name as my mom.”

 

Wow. Imagine that. Mrs. kkk’s mom and I both picked the same name out of a dozen possibilities. What the are the chances of that happening – one in 12? Well you would think is the end of the great what-to-call-our-kid-if-she-sprouts-tits debate. I mean, that’s what I thought. After all, she had her list and two out of the three judges selected the same entry. Cased closed, right?

 

This evening during dinner, she pulled out another sheet of paper. Do I really need to say any more at this point? She's already got the name for a boy. Like this gender is going to be any different. In the end I really don't care. However, my only condition is that kkk jr. isn’t named after A TELEVISION OR MOVIE CHARACTER! :bonk:

With two of our cats the names were already provided. When we got Max we waited until he got a clean bill of health (or as clean as a stray can get) and then we just waited a week or so until a name just came to us.

What do you call your daughter when she sprouts tits?

 

"Vyce's girlfriend".

 

And if you want to name the kid after me, you have my permission.

There is a local sports talk show host who has done what I consider unforgiveable--he has named his kids after contemporary sports figures. That's right, and the people he choose are not exactly Hall of Fame material. Just one example will suffice.

 

 

 

He named his boy after former Reds first baseman Shaun Casey.

 

 

 

I don't get it, but I guess he has his reasons.

Was it that Lance guy in the afternoons? (Not sure if he's still on the air.) Or that local morning show?

 

And at least Casey was a very popular figure in Cincy. Not saying it was OK to do what he did, but it's no worse than naming a kid Arowen. Actually, upon second thought, Arowen is worse.

I'm ok with naming after an athlete you admire. What I think is retarded is all the people who named their son ESPN or ESPeN.

 

And for the record, even though I will not be having kids for a LONG time, Smuesette has suggested if we ever have a boy naming him Maddux after Greg Maddux. Yes, Smuesette made the suggestion, not me.

If you're going to name a kid Maddux, pretend that it is after Ford Maddox Ford. It'll sound classier at parties.

 

Yeah, it was Lance McAllister. He's kind of geeky but I have nothing against him...except naming your kid after a contemporary baseball player.

Sean Casey (the baseball player, not the scummy wrestler) was a good guy though. Casey is a decent name and since he's a baseball guy and all, you have that connection to the famous poem.

 

I like Lance enough to not be concerned about the name of his son. The kid had it tough enough in his life, no need to harp on his name.
