Baby Names.

So if you happened to have a child, do you have any names in mind? If so, reason why?

For a girl I like the name Kahlee. It was a character in the Mass Effect books and the name just really stuck with me.

As for a boy, probably something after someone in my family

I'd name my child Earlie, regardless of sex.

First I'll think about getting a wife. Then about getting children. Then about whether to give them names or not.

My parents already had a name ready for if I had been a girl. It's Carolien. I might use that... although it could be awkward, because I've been very in love with a girl with the same name.

Strangely enough my parents did not use that name for my younger sisters when they were born.

I always liked Nemo. But would want to put more thought into the name like when and where and what time the child is born and somehow incorporate that. Give it that name for a reason.

I've been partial to Auric.

Think it kind of works with my last name.
And can say the kid is pure gold.

I've been thinking more about dog names than baby names recently, just because owning a dog seems more imminent than having a child. That said, something unique-ish would be cool without being too weird or troubling for the kid, but I haven't thought of anything specific.

I am with Germanator on this one. I have a few names I think would be good for a dog. I was thinking Kenji if it was a dog or Enjiki if it was a bitch.

What I want to know is why certain people with certain names always turn out a certain way. Like why are all girls named Bertha fat. Or why are all guys named Richard assholes. Why does every girl named Candy become a stripper? Why does every girl named Amber or Tiffany become a porn star? Is it some complicated self-fulfilling prophecy?

I'm gonna go with the Ebonics approach and name my kid after a car or something. If I have a girl I'm gonna call her Chrysler or Mercedes or maybe Paprika.

I knew a guy named Richard who was not an asshole.

He was English, not American

That's my name

Angrist · 05-30-2009, 01:32 PM

Oh you can be such a Dick.

Angrist · 05-31-2009, 03:42 AM

Here's where it came from: Richard is often abbreviated to Dick, right? Like in Band of Brothers, the main character was Dick Winters, Richard Winters for full.
Hence the Dick with a capital D...

I know a nice Richard who is American.
