[Manton]

My wife invented the name "Strothbert", to what end I was ever able to surmise.

I like the French Royalist name "Eude" (pronounced like the "ould" in "could&quot. For someone else's son, of course.

No, had she used it, there would have been a point.

Harold, Charles, Quentin, Nicolas.

Camila, Casandra, Narcisa, Francisca, Ramona.

Harold is a good one. Anyone remember the dancer "Camille" from Soul Train circa 1989? HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA

 

[zarathustra]

Perhaps Seamus, Narragansett, Quintillus, or Busby? While i prefer Winston and Reagan.

My last name is also a first name so I am tempted to name my son, if I should ever have one, _____ Middle Name _______, a la William Carlos Williams.


Oh, what about Barack as in Barack Obama? LOL

Those old rosters are a gold mine for baby-name proposals.

Hunky, Lefty, Deacon, Hutch; Otis, Dutch, Chappie, King; Steamer, George, Roscoe, Ginger; Otto, Reddy, Wid, Truck, Rube; Chief, Duff, Buster, Red; Lew, Togie, Buck. Klondike. Pop. Elmer.

She wasn't having any of that. It was good to begin the discussion with laughter. In all fairness, at least half of her names were equally ... wrong.

She did like Cy, though. That name stayed on the list for a week or two but then went down in flames.

For some reason, I like either really WASPy names, or ethnic names, especially arabic and hawaiian.
It'll be funny to see a Korean kid with an arabic name show up to school, huh?

I've thought that if I had a girl I would name her Libby.
