Help us decide! Baby Name

Re: Help us decide! Baby Name

See post #79 in this thread.

I am an only child so no brothers...

And we are talking about naming our son after a relative... just not in a sense that you find conventional.

Sounds to me that you think everyone should just be vanilla and blend in.

Perhaps a trusted friend, then.

Again, avoiding the question as to whether you'd like this name for yourself? If you wouldn't like the name yourself, why would you give it to your kid?

We need Thurm on this thread. He is always brutally honest. If he likes the names I may have to rethink my stance.

Boys names are the easiest.

Just take whatever current athlete is your favorite and act accordingly.

Whenever I have a kid, his name will be Ryan Miller.

Good idea.

I can name my kid Tyler Myers.


Although naming your kid born a year ago Tiger Woods would be problematic.

I would have no problems with the name myself. I always felt my name was kind of boring.

"Why couldn't mom and dad have given me a BORING name?"

Well I don't know what the dynamic was in terms of coming up with this, but in our house either of us could propose whatever names we wanted but the hard and fast rule was that we both had veto power.

This is not the sort of thing to give in on if you're not crazy about the name.

It's very difficult to undo if you end up having regrets.

I'm having "pre-grets" on your behalf.

Thurm! You're needed over here. LOG too.

Or

Fred Bedard

Or

Drade B. Bedard

Or

Fa... middle name King... Bedard, which would be Fa King Bedard (say it out loud).

Or

Something about Doug Flutie Fusco doesnt sound right.

Good thing I didn't have a baby during the Losman era.

What the hell do you two know about it?

Taking a stand opposite of Patti is usually a good idea.

Re: Help us decide! Baby Name

Let me tell you a story about names back from my high school days. We were in social studies class, and we had this one teacher who was single, in her mid-twenties, one of my better teachers actually, and she had great clothes etc. Well toward the end of the class on some days she would tell us about her weekend because she had this boyfriend, and they always did cool things. So we heard these stories for a couple of months and enjoyed them because A) that meant we were done with schoolwork for that period, and B) she had a cool life that we would someday hope to have ourselves.

But, she never told us her boyfriend's name, just referred to him as her boyfriend. Well some of the girls in the class (this is an all-girl H.S.) started asking, what's his name, tell us his name. But she wouldn't.

Well finally after a couple weeks of pestering she gave in. She said okay, I'll tell you his name, his name is (DRAMATIC PAUSE) "Leo."

Well! The classroom exploded in laughter that was so loud that I can hear it in my head 'til this day. It was just uncontrolled! You could see that our teacher was terribly embarrassed at this reaction. She was crabby about it, you could tell.

Well some time after that, she is telling us another story about her boyfriend, but this time she says his middle name is (ahem) MICHAEL, and he actually prefers to go by his middle name of Michael. And ever thereafter in that class she referred to the boyfriend as "Michael."

And I thought to myself, sheesh, she should've used Michael all along and saved herself all the embarrassment.

Moral of the story: Julien/Jude = Leo

Don't put his future girlfriends in an awkward position like that one.

I prefer Jude as a name by itself, but Julien works better with Michael, so I voted for that.
