KD in CA Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Im naming my upcoming son Salvatore, so that every time he asks for something I can just say "Cant do it, Sally." Nice one, Tom.
Fan in San Diego Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Congrats! Repunzil is a good old fashion name.
section122 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I'd tell you 2 good names but my wife would kill me. Her sister "stole" the name if we have a girl and it got ugly. So sorry random tbd'er I'll give you stock answers. There is truth to giving them a "normal" name helping them out later in life. I read an interesting study where people with unique names struggled getting jobs as hiring managers would prefer to skip over names they may not be able to pronounce. Not sure of its accuracy but.... For Boys: William - shorten it to Bill and you've avoided the whole can I convince him to be a Bills fan fiasco. It's a guarantee. For Girls: Layla - Clapton song and I just like the name.. aww f*ck it - girls name Stella - great old name and just beautiful imo, Victor - strong name and again an old name. If I know you and you use these I am not responsible for the hell that will rain down on you if/when my wife hears what you named your child but seriously Congrats!!!
blzrul Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Beauregard for boy or Epiphany for girl. Seriously what about William Henry and Magdalena ...something for girl
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 aww f*ck it - girls name Stella - great old name and just beautiful imo, Victor - strong name and again an old name. If I know you and you use these I am not responsible for the hell that will rain down on you if/when my wife hears what you named your child but seriously Congrats!!! We liked Stella, but didn't go that direction. It's actually becoming really popular.
section122 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 We liked Stella, but didn't go that direction. It's actually becoming really popular. Oh man I don't want to hear that! lol I actually saw it at a friend's grandma's funeral and thought it was a very beautiful name. I wasn't that mad when Layla got "taken"

I wasn't that mad when Layla got "taken" That's why we liked it--kinda old school. A similar "old school" name that we liked (but didn't go with) was Vera. What was old is now new again! In fact, if you have read "Freakanomics," there's a great chapter in that book about how baby names become popular.

section122 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Maybe too popular.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1A0p0F_iH8 I had to show my wife this clip bc when I was talking to my father about it his response was to yell STELLLLLAAAAAA 2 or 3 times as I cracked up.

We ended up having a girl and naming her Zuzu Emily. If it had been a boy, it would have been Maximillian Lawrence. Edited March 4, 2013 by gringo starr
Chef Jim Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Here's your mistake. You're asking for a baby's name. You do realize that they're only babies for a short period of time. What you really want to ask is "I'm looking for a MAN'S name." Thomas Thurman?? Really. Why not go with Tasker Steve this time around? At least that one works. Edited March 4, 2013 by Chef Jim
Meathead Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 ive thought a lot about this and if i ever have a son im going multicultural and naming him something like Emilio Xingchu Runninglocust you can have that one if you want (watch me get more points for that one)

I also briefly considered, for a boy, Pakistanley.
