Trying to come up with a first name for a un-born male infint..

[Eyrothath]

So, I am asking forumfall for help..

What I'v got:

Anders
Alessia
Jesper
Akira
Valentine
Andrea
Cedric
Sascha
Marcus
Octavian
Oliver
Aydan
Gorlan
Elyghen
Zender
Kleid

Give me more names if you guys wish, or help me break this down..

[Axelator]

Brannoc?

[Jangang]

Unless you want him beat up daily you'll drop your entire list.

Go with something normal for Christ sake... The weirder the name, the more likely the personality will be weird as well. This is proven time, and time again.

Half your names were female for crying out loud.

[Eyrothath]

Brannoc?

So far, I like the name Alessia, it fits both a male and a female, mostly female.. But the kid is going to get his fucking ass kicked with a name like that, and I view this as a good thing..

[Axelator]

Im guessing you dont live in an ENglish speaking country from your list?

[Eyrothath]

Wern't female.. Were both..... But I want to pick a scandinavian name, something swedish or finnish..

[Eyrothath]

Im guessing you dont live in an ENglish speaking country from your list?

I live in a shithole called Phoenix Arizona, we speak mostly mexican here although originally, was an english speaking state..

Everyone in my family learns to speak German and Welsh.. I learned Finnish..

[Xinnro]

Only the coolest of names for my baby boy..

Archer
Axton
Dante
Blaze
Dekker
Duran
Magnus
Edge
Easton
Pierce
Soren
Vaden
Valor
Zayden

[Dazarthas]

Kazimir. With a name that means "the great destroyer," he will one day rule the world.

As his father, you'll likely reap the benefits of his rise to power. Are you going to throw that away for a pussy name?

[Jangang]

Well I don't know much about scandenavia, but I'd drop these for sure, as they are fully female.

Akira
Valentine
Andrea
Sascha

The others I dunno about, they are still weird. Unless you live in that part of the world those names WILL get your son's ass kicked at least once a week from age 8 - 16. Or if he is very lucky it'll merely be continuous, and sustained emotional torture through high school. YAY! :D

[Mulambo]

Bjorn Hamsun Surname. (lol prisoner of ice).

[Mulambo]

Well I don't know much about scandenavia, but I'd drop these for sure, as they are fully female.

Akira

Sascha

lol akira is a badass, but the name is crappy for an american (unless your son is asian looking) imo.

Andre and Sascha are alrite, maybe valentine could be a good middle name (if you believe in that).

[BladeSLicer]

Octavian is pretty cool, but I'd just go with Augustus. Roman names are very cool.

[Axelator]

I live in a shithole called Phoenix Arizona, we speak mostly mexican here although originally, was an english speaking state..

Then why the fuck do you want to give your kid a scandinavian name?

Why not just call him Ivon and let him know early on hes going to get his ass kicked. Ill look out for the school masacre in 14 years time when Ivan goes to school and kills 15 people.

[alfaroverall]

Of that list, only Marcus seems like even a remotely decent idea. Neither Cedric nor Oliver would be absolutely awful, though.

Also, if you sully Octavian's name by giving it to your son (or whomever you are referring to), I will take it upon myself to kill your son and possibly you as well. I am dead fucking serious. The man was quite possibly the greatest man who ever lived, and you think your son will be able to compare with him. There is a reason no one has that name anymore.

To be clear (to avoid a "lol? you're not talking about this idiot are you?" argument) I am referring to Gaius Iulius Caesar Octavianus.

[Fudgy_Neeples]

Kazimir. With a name that means "the great destroyer," he will one day rule the world.

As his father, you'll likely reap the benefits of his rise to power. Are you going to throw that away for a pussy name?

Or get killed which is what happened to when you have an ambitious son.

Names:

Daequan
Daunte
Or Hercules

I would seriously name my son Hercules lol.

[Jangang]

Then why the fuck do you want to give your kid a scandinavian name?

Why not just call him Ivon and let him know early on hes going to get his ass kicked. Ill look out for the school masacre in 14 years time when Ivan goes to school and kills 15 people.

Heh, Ivon would be better then every last name on that list in that regard...

Tell me a kid named Gorlan, or Elyghen isn't gonna hate life. If he lives in pheonix and seriously names his kid one of these names, or any other similarly weird name the kid is gonna hate life, and when he finds out the driving force behind his name he'll hate his father.

If you insist on a weird name though, I'd go with Fro. (Our resident Fro will love you for it.)

[Cribble]

Call it:

Borris
Jack
Jackson
Rob
Darren
Tommy
Eddy
Ed
Edd
Franky
Joe
Charlie
Patrick
Packie

Job Done

[Axelator]

How about Adolf, not many people use thta name anymore.

[Lachrymose]

i'll feel really bad for this kid if he gets his name off forumfall.. :(

[Atnas]

Sigint?

[Spinewire]

Unless you want him beat up daily you'll drop your entire list.

QFT

call him Tony

[Mulambo]

Which do you think sounds better, Drizzt or Legolas?

Got a bit of a man crush there eh?

Yes, he was cool. So was Alexander, but I happen to know a few Alexanders. You generally honor a person by naming your kid after them, but I suppose leaving the name along is just as good.

[Lachrymose]

QFT

call him Tony

yes, please name him after tony danza!

[Axelator]

Sigint?

Yeah or maybe Vamp would be good, or Raging Raven?

[Lachrymose]

Yeah or maybe Vamp would be good, or Raging Raven?

maybe pliskin. or better yet, you could call him big mama.

[alfaroverall]

Alexander was around earlier (and so has faded more, so to speak), was less successful, and is (perhaps most importantly) a common name in Russia (where, culturally speaking, Alexander is and always was irrelevant.)

But yes, yes I do. If Octavian/Augustus were around today I would gladly find a way to have his babies. Similarly, if I could, I'd go back in time and get Tiberius Gracchus to not make his fatal mistake. Had he not, there might be a Roman Republic to this day.

[Xinnro]

You should call him Naruto.

[Aragoni]

Dante is a good name.

[Teutates]

Name him darkfall, that would be so awesome.

[BlackDawg]

John Smith......if your kid were here hed want to kick your ass big time

[GFH_Spike]

Go for Anders.

[Haldred]

I'm going to give you a good one.
Nathaniel. or Nathan.

[Jangang]

So is it official than?

[Morthor]

Reggie.

[Eyrothath]

Now we have discussed..

Phillip
Johnny
Arthur
Andrew
Michael
James
Alexander
Christian
Gareth
Macey
Keeli

For more normal names as you guys say...

Note: If I name him John, he will become John the II...

[inox]

Arnfinn or Steinjo are awesome names.

[Paganini]

Thor
Loki
Mjolnir
Ragnar

[alfaroverall]

So is it official than?
That I have a man crush on Octavian/Augustus? Yes, yes it is. Insert whatever gay jokes you like, I really could not care less.

[Jangang]

Hrmphff,

Well you are no fun. I was gonna hook you up with Xinnro, but pshht... I've changed my mind now.

[Lachrymose]

after reading this thread i've decided it's probably better if gamers just don't have children.

but since it's probably too late anyways, name him goku.

[Maglubiyet]

and his name shall be Thor

[Jangang]

Now we have discussed..

Phillip
Johnny
Arthur
Andrew
Michael
James
Alexander
Christian
Gareth
Macey
Keeli

Its hard to nail it down to one name without the last name, which I presume you don't want to post here.

I'd keep Gareth as a middle name, as its cool, but still a little odd.

James Michael Gareth Lastname.
or
Philip Keeli Lastname

At this point I'd focus on which names go together well w/ your last name.

Nothing worse then mismatched names that just don't go well together.

[Ultimo]

Name him something embarassing. He will love you forever.

I personally think the name Pwnz0r would fit. That's right, a number in his name. Just do it, it will be funny (and unique)

[Fudgy_Neeples]

That I have a man crush on Octavian/Augustus? Yes, yes it is. Insert whatever gay penises you like, I really could not care less.

Sorry! I just had to do it! It is kind of weird that you would have a crush on them. But, I have no problem with you admiring them for their military genius. Hannibal is the most awesome military leader of that era though. Going against the might of Rome and succeeding for a while. That is true manliness and brains.

[Axelator]

I quite like Odin, viking god of war. Can't go wrong there.

[Eyrothath]

Its hard to nail it down to one name without the last name, which I presume you don't want to post here.

My last name is Rankin..

[Kyur]

Marcus is the only good name in your first list..

The rest would get his ass kicked even in the pussiest school.

[Ample]

I live in a shithole called Phoenix Arizona, we speak mostly mexican here although originally, was an english speaking state..

Everyone in my family learns to speak German and Welsh.. I learned Finnish..

Its Spanish.
What makes so many of these weird names appealing to you?

[Jangang]

James Michael Gareth Rankin ain't bad.

Andrew or Alexander Rankin sounds pretty good as well.

In fact I really like Alexander Rankin, that woulds really good together.

[Zurm]

Name Him Magnus

[Kietharr]

Magnus is the most badass scandinavian name out there, it doesn't sound really ethnic to an untrained ear either so it's a bit better than something like Olaf. If you name your kid Magnus I guarantee he'll be QB of his high school football team, be 7 feet tall and have a 14 inch dong.

holy shit Zurm hivemind much? Look at the time of these posts, rofl.

[Ultimo]

Actually, in all seriousness, the name Anthony has always been a name I have though is cool. That was supposed to be my name until they changed it to a cliche name a couple months later (Timothy).

[Ample]

If it turns out to be a thin, average looking child instead of a hulking behemoth, he's going to be teased all through school.

Oh no, here comes the Magnus! It's also similar to Angus.

[Jangang]

I'd have moo'd at any kid named Angus. That would be been awesome.

[Eyrothath]

My kids though are all gonna be home schooled or they are gonna go to a prep-school/charter school, cause I don't like the way schools operate these days..

[Poem]

Go with something Russian!

Sergey
Yuri

[Ultimo]

Oh wait, I have another name for you. Name your kid the same as 50% of the MMO community does. Sephiroth. That's right. Only, since its cool in MMOs to change the spelling since the original as long been taken, you can't just name him Sephiroth. It has to be something like xxSephhirrothhxx.

[Henalim]

Sol (or Solomon)

Well I don't want to get a history debate going here, but I don't feel it's fair to say that Alexander was "less successful". I realize you're man crush may be giving you a slightly biased view of the comparison, but let's give Alexander the respect he deserves.

I personally feel you shouldn't try to declare who was "more successful", as they both succeeded in their goals.

Besides, Alexander, with what resources he had, probably accomplished more than almost any other military mind could have, spare perhaps the aforementioned Hannibal. The man was not only a military genius, but also proved to be rather effective at governing, recognizing that he must respect and assimilate the culture the cultures that he conquered, a tactic that the Romans would later use. Had he not died so young he probably would have solidified his empire throughout the course of his life.

Essentially, I believe we shouldn't be trying to declare who is "better". :p

[Eyrothath]

lol, I'll give him the name Ileen (girls name) And the last name Dover.... (Sarcasm)

[Gaal]

Of that list, only Marcus seems like even a remotely decent idea. Neither Cedric nor Oliver would be absolutely awful, though.

Octavian was a sickly little weakling. Julius Caesar was ten times more badass then Octavian could ever be.

[Eyrothath]

I don't see how Unknown is considered a name.. HOW many people name their child.. Unknown? Is it for people who can't come up with a name?

[Ganon]

I have been cursed with a crappy name by idiotic parents.
Please dont do the same with your son. choose a normal name, maybe somthing unusual but not completely moronic or of cultures that dont match his own.
It will be problematic for him, its a goddam son not a dog!
So if you are like a japanese man name him akira, if you REALLY want to, but otherwise its senseless. I dont understand why you have to use all those names like choosing a turd in a public latrine.

here, hope this (http://www.behindthename.com/) helps.
Please think before naming him.

Unless you want to name him Gozer the Gozerian or Megaloman, perhaps Mazinger Z too.

oh and, latin names are absolutely no cool for non latin people. is like rolling an orc and name it drittz do urden, it sucks twice cause its not an elf, and its an overused wannabe-badass-but-I-end-up-only-being-ass name.
Latin to you sounds as cool as english sounds to me, but hey id never name my son Cedric or marmaduke or johnny or wtf it crosses my mind he would just look dumb.

[Ultimo]

My first son's surname will most likely be "Marcus Gilbert Albert Carolus"

99% sure.

In my family it's normal to give 3 or 4 surnames.
The full name of my mother for instance is "Monique Johanna Catharina Francesca Van Deun".

It's hard to be shortened into anything else (what, are you going to call him Oct? lol), so people will have to say his whole name which sounds more regal. Four syllable names are rare, and even rarer to be spoken in full.

not allowed in the us last I heard. some nubs were naming their kid something like L33754uc3 (i'm just kidding, it was more like J4ck, but I don't remember what the name was), and the social security or birth certificate ppl were leik "NO NUBS NOT ALLOWED TO HAZ NUMBERZ"

"Son, I made your name up, you were named after my characters in Ultima Online and World of Warcraft."

Well see, at least the name has some depth then. I mean, your other alternative is "Son, I made up your name by asking ForumFall for advice". He would be like, "Those idiots? Fuck you dad, now I'm going to go emo and cut myself".

Do you really want your kid to die? Your choice!

[Mock]

Having a unusual name isn't all bad. Chicks dig it.
Mine is Ezekiel, but people are too lazy so they call me Zeke.

Sadly though, I do not give you permission to use it.
Move along.

[Jangang]

On a side note..are you allowed to use numbers in a persons name?

Yes you can. You can name someone anything you feel like naming them. Prince changed name to some symbol for a while, and they allowed that even.

I dunno where you heard that from. But I assure you its legal to name them anything you like. Its not common, and you might have to deal talk to people to get it through SS, and shit, but its absolutely legal.

Not in europe.

Numbers are illegal. So are names like Adolph, Jesus, Jaweh, God, etc.

Well, I expect him (or his parents) to belong to a certain culture, language or nation - not to have a certain colour. But, of course, people from Spanish speaking countries are brown...

Well there ya go, you have made the connection. Different names have different cultural significance.

[alfaroverall]

Octavian was a sickly little weakling. Julius Caesar was ten times more badass then Octavian could ever be.
Physically, yes. So what? When you have people who can do your bidding, who needs physical strength?

Plus Iulius (I refuse to use the J) Caesar's ego was too big for his own good, which is saying something considering all that he accomplished. Read the De Bello Gallico, preferably the original if you can, and you'll see what I mean.

And BladeSLicer, two things:
1. I think you would agree that, square mile for square mile, the Roman Empire during the age of Augustus was larger than Alexander's empire.
2. I said "quite possibly" the greatest man there ever was. I didn't say I actually think he was, because I would never actually declare that any one man was the greatest that ever was. I would, however, say that he is one of a handful that is worthy of being considered for the title. I'd say Alexander is too.
Not in europe.

Numbers are illegal. So are names like Adolph, Jesus, Jaweh, God, etc.
How can Jesus (as in the name pronounced "heh-soos") be illegal in Europe? It's basically an equivalent of Joshua among Hispanic people, as far as I know anyway.

Europe just won't drop the whole fascism thing will they... It doesn't even matter to me personally, but that still rubs me wrong. What business is it of the Gov't what I name my children?

If I want to name a kid

Muhamad Jesus Ala Rambo Adolphius Hitler the Scourge of Europe I should be free to do so.

[Gunther TheBlack]

Because it's a religious name.

I know. But your kid would be screwed ;)

[[LoD] EE]

So, I am asking forumfall for help..

What I'v got:

Anders
Alessia
Jesper
Akira
Valentine
Andrea
Cedric
Sascha
Marcus
Octavian
Oliver
Aydan
Gorlan
Elyghen
Zender
Kleid

Give me more names if you guys wish, or help me break this down..

Infant & I've

Just helping you out in case you choose either of those for his name so you spell them right :D

Anders - Its alright
Alessia - Females name
Jesper - Not feeling it
Akira - Kid would be ridiculed for life
Valentine - Would be beaten up every day of his life
Andrea - yet another girls name
Cedric - Doubtful he will be entertaining enough to have this name
Sascha - Too female like
Marcus - Only manly name so far
Octavian - Would be picked on quite often for a comic book characters name
Oliver - Way too old school, Why not name him Sherlock?
Aydan - Too weird
Gorlan - Too ethnic
Elyghen - He wont be able to spell that until he is 9
Zender - WTF
Kleid - WTF part 2

[alfaroverall]

Because it's a religious name.
Among Hispanic people it is not, however. They use a different name with a different spelled to refer to Jesus (the religious figure).

[Mulambo]

Well, I expect him (or his parents) to belong to a certain culture, language or nation - not to have a certain colour. But, of course, people from Spanish speaking countries are brown...

spaniards are largely whities.

[Death's Chill]

Unless you want him beat up daily you'll drop your entire list.

Go with something normal for Christ sake... The weirder the name, the more likely the personality will be weird as well. This is proven time, and time again.

Half your names were female for crying out loud.

Ya, it's sad to say but true. When choosing a name, try to actually not be original. It's one area where kids love to torture other kids. Strange, but whatever. It's how it seems to work.

A good strong name, like John, or James... they both are great, classical, but common, names. Your kid will not be abused via his name. ;)

Besides, if your kid does not like the name, when he grows up, he can legally change it, so ya... just go for safety rather than risky in this case.

Having a unusual name isn't all bad. Chicks dig it.
Mine is Ezekiel, but people are too lazy so they call me Zeke.

Sadly though, I do not give you permission to use it.
Move along.

It's only bad as a kid growing up. When you're an adult, having an odd and quirky name is not a bad thing and can be pretty fun.

[Mulambo]

I dunno where you heard that from. But I assure you its legal to name them anything you like. Its not common, and you might have to deal talk to people to get it through SS, and shit, but its absolutely legal.

dude, i read it on some internet news site years ago. likely either linked from digg, reddit, or here.

Dude!

[BladeSLicer]

Yes, the Roman Empire was obviously larger than that of the Macedonians, but I don't believe that should determine who was "better".

Firstly, by the time Augustus took control, the Roman Empire was of a decent size already. That, and they had a huge pool of resources to draw from, in the form of both money and manpower.

Alexander the Great, in a mere 8 years, conquered more land than most would deem possible. With only 50,000ish men he marched into Persia (The strongest nation in the world at the time), completely destroyed them, and his empire ended up stretching from Macedonia and Greece in the Northwest, all the way through turkey and into Scythia in the north east corner, down into India itself in the southeast corner, and all the way back to Egypt itself. He did this with, for the most part, the very men he set out with, and was outnumbered in virtually every major battle along the road. He even overcame the elephants of India, being quite possibly the first european force to ever face them.

Anyway, he did this in a mere 8 years, and at the age of 33 he planned to expand not only into the Arabian Peninsula, but into Italy as well. Who knows what he could have accomplished if he had lived as long as Augustus did.

But yes, this is how I see it.

Alexander: Master Military Tactician
Augustus: Master Politician/Governor

I don't really think we should be trying to determine who is "better", as both were incredible in their own right. :D

[Eyrothath]

My girlfriend wants to give name him Alessia Isaiah Alexander Rankin

Although, I disagree, never in the history has a Rankin had the first name of Alessia.. Isaiah and Alexander of Alex are common though..

Popular first names with the name Rankin and middle..


James
Arthur(common)
Robert(also common)
John(Very common)
William
Charlie
Michael
Andrew


We've scratched out Michael, Andrew and John

Charlie, a lot of people hate this name even though it is normal..

I kind of want to name him Vaughn Siegfried..

[Agge]

Szchnider (sp?)
Sergey
Glenn
Nigel

I hate them al with a passion, hope it helps.

[Damwa]

Well there ya go, you have made the connection. Different names have different cultural significance.

Thing is; they also have different cultural significance in different cultures. How you got "black" from Monique is strange to me, and I don't think that any European would have that association.
Also, I hope you noted the pun; not everyone who comes from a Spanish speaking country *is* different in appearance from Anglo-Saxons.
A small anecdote: I once saw a program about pirates on Discovery, they interviewed a white history professor from Jamaica and of course he spoke English with the characteristic Jamaican accent. Looking at him I didn't expect it, but once you think about it - it is pretty much a "no-brainer".

Europe just won't drop the whole fascism thing will they... It doesn't even matter to me personally, but that still rubs me wrong. What business is it of the Gov't what I name my children?

If I want to name a kid

Muhamad Jesus Ala Rambo Adolphius Hitler the Scourge of Europe I should be free to do so.

We aren't a single nation, you know. Adolf, Adolph etc are completely legitimate names in a lot of European countries.

[Paralda]

What about Alaric?

[Mulambo]

too many names. you don't want him to feel leik a retard in 1st grade when all the other kids are writing down their easy names and your kid is struggling with his 3rd middle name.

[Eyrothath]

too many names. you don't want him to feel leik a retard in 1st grade when all the other kids are writing down their easy names and your kid is struggling with his 3rd middle name.

I have... Hmm.. 5 names...... And for some reason, a title at the end. John Phillip Arthur James Rankin the II the Great... I had no problem in school, besides, I am home-schooling all my kids or sending, and in high school, a charter school.. My kids are gonna have a very hot teacher who will be hired personally by me..

[Eyrothath]

too many names. you don't want him to feel leik a retard in 1st grade when all the other kids are writing down their easy names and your kid is struggling with his 3rd middle name.

Multiple names is nothing really, I scratched out 2 of my names, the II and the title at the end of my name when I was in school, I never wrote down that shit.. I didn't find out I had so many names till I looked at my birth certificate for the first time, that was in 7th grade..

If she is dead set on that name just convince her to switch it up...

Alexander Alessia Rankin sounds much better. I don't know about Alessia personally, but it'd be much better as a middle name then a first name. :) And as I mentioned before Alexander and Rankin sounds pretty good together.


Alexander Vaughn Rankin would be a good one.

[Agge]

Dick is the best name ever though.

[Viluin]

Hans? LOL.

Reminds me of hansel and gretel.

Hans is pretty gay here, but it sounds badass in an english speaking country.

Plus, you can stand behind doors with a huge machine gun and yell "GUTEN TAG!" when people open the door. And then you shoot them. Just like Wolfenstein 3d!

I shat my pants when that happened to me.

yeah, that's better. then later on if he wants to switch to his middle name in highschool/college or whatever, he can. just do it when he goes to a new school, and he can tell everyone he meets his middle name is his name, if he likes that one better.

It's not that hard to do. My parents named me after my dad, but to avoid confusion always called me my middle name. So everyone knows me by my middle name ever since i was born.

The only problem is in roll call or whatever, when the teacher calls you your legal first name.

[Dredgon]

Arseniy
Artemy/Artemis
Arkadi (Not sure how it's spelled)
Alexander

[epicor]

you cant have aydan cause thats my sons name... well aidan, but still. Cedric is the only name i like on your list.

[GFH_Spike]

Cedric reminds me of a fat black man.

Cedric reminds me of a fat black man.

Cedric reminds me of that guy with the babyface who gets killed in Harry Potter.

[Signus]

Tobias

[Dragonfly]

Kids with weird names turn into weird kids. Srsly...

[Nexus]

Which do you think sounds better, Drizzt or Legolas?

Legolas is probably already taken, go with Legrolas or Legolol.

But seriously;

Vincent / anything that can be shortened to Vinnie. Thats just a cool name.
oh oh, Vinchenzo.
Edward/ eddie
Jonny
Tommy

Or if you want the macho american version,
Brock
or
Chuck

[Ganon]

Vincent / anything that can be shortened to Vinnie. Thats just a cool name.
oh oh, Vinchenzo.

if you care, its Vincenzo. no H the ch is spelt like K.

[IcePillow]

Ketchup! A great name.

[Axelator]

If you want to give him a name that normally already taken like steeve or luke, just add numbers on the end or use shapes to spell it, here are some sugesstions.

£t33v3
FR@NK08
L\/K3

Seriously if you name your child in l33t speak ill give you money.

I'd have lol'd at someone named Hans, as a child. When I stopped loling I likely would have moved on to questioning his sexual orientation.

Kids are cruel, but then again Hans is a pretty gay name, even in English speaking countries.

[Malishan]

Do your future son a big favor and learn to spell infant before you try to pick a name for him.

[Shadowcreep]

Do your future son a big favor and learn to spell infant before you try to pick a name for him.

Owned.

Also, Leman Russ. Or, as we determined in a previous thread:

Axe the Destroyer.

[Lord Caim]

So far, I like the name Alessia, it fits both a male and a female, mostly female.. But the kid is going to get his fucking ass kicked with a name like that, and I view this as a good thing..
If this is true then just name him Sue and get it over with.

Btw, there's a song about it in case no one caugh it.

[Salaman]

Name him Randolph (shortens to Randy), or maybe Malvolio.

[Lethn]

Lethn? :p

[SentrySteve]

Name him 'faggot' because with you as a father that's what he'll turn into.

[Weeking]

You can name your kid whatever you like in Norway as long as it doesn't hurt the kid. Religious names is a gray area I think, depends what it is. Greek gods might be legal f ex, but probably not God or Allah f ex.

Like there's a guy called Espen Thoresen Værsogod Takkskalduha or something like that. He changed his name to it from Espen Thoresen. Meaning "here-you-go thank-you. If they disallow the name you want for him, you can talk him into changing it later and I suspect the rules are looser if it is a change to your own name.

There's books and sites dedicated to names where you can tell the meaning of the names, varieties of the same name and the name dates and even how many have the name. If you're going to make one up, it might as well be unique.

[Kyur]

Name him Seven

I like Sleven.

[RayesKotrora]

Habib

[BlackVolgan]

i vote Octavian. That's a very cool name. I also like the way you're comfortable in naming your son something unique, rather than the plain jane names that everyone seems to have, like john, alex, daniel, steven.... the list goes on. I hate parents who give their kids 'normal' names.. jeez, try something different, stop being sheep.

thumbs up!

oh and i'm naming my sons Barbados and Othello.

[RayesKotrora]

If you ever have a girl name her Alessa Gillespie

[Cheezo]

Batman.

[Dreadknought]

That I have a man crush on Octavian/Augustus? Yes, yes it is. Insert whatever gay jokes you like, I really could not care less.

Its ok, I have a man crush on Patton. I mean think about it, at like 60 years old he was fucking huge. Had a huge cock I bet too.

[Weeking]

Lollercopter.

[alfaroverall]

Name him Randolph (shortens to Randy), or maybe Malvolio.
lol, Malvolio. Have you read Twelfth Night?

[Xinnro]

Naruto and Sasuke are still my first choices.

[RayesKotrora]

Naruto and Sasuke are still my first choices.

What about Xinnro?

[Xinnro]

What about Xinnro?

I'm actually seriously considering naming my child Xinnro.

[Shadowcreep]

I'm actually seriously considering naming my child Xinnro.

I really want to have a child named Wobahs. :ohno:

[Eclipso]

If you insist on a weird name though, I'd go with Fro. (Our resident Fro will love you for it.)

I thought the OP wanted a Scandinavian name not a French one ?


Out of the original list i would go with Marcus.

I persoanlly like Jack for a boys name .

[Exultus]

I live in a shithole called Phoenix Arizona, we speak mostly mexican here although originally, was an english speaking state..

No originally it spoke Hohokam and the original most common European language was Spanish.

That said your kid is going to get the fucking snot beaten out of him every fucking day.

[Exultus]

Sascha

Know a Russian guy whose name is Sasha...

[RayesKotrora]

I'm actually seriously considering naming my child Xinnro.

I'll name my child Xinnro for you.

[Xtra-Medium]

give him a badass name like axle nobody will fuck wit him, u gotta real feminine list goin on though

[Rageon]

Now, heres some cool names.

Hanz

Vladimir
..

Well, you could call him "ForumfallWhiner" or "h4xX0r l337z0r r0xx0r l0lz0r" but that doesnt actually fit with whatever lastname you got. I suggest Hanz or Vladimir.

[Rahavin]

So, I am asking forumfall for help..

Marcus
Octavian

Aydan
Gorlan
Elyghen
Zender

Give me more names if you guys wish, or help me break this down..

Did you get every single one these from random JRPGs?

[PKSinister]

Butters imo.

[Nexus]

Butters imo.

Guess i'll have to name my future son Eric then.

[Phalanx]

Sue if it's a boy.

Edit: actually, Butters would be great, too.

[Uzik]

I like:

Gideon (nickname Gid)
Solomon (nickname sol)
Simon
Abaddon (nickname abe)
Aharon
Amittai
Elam
Ephraim (nickname eff)
Hagar (nickname heyg)

OR

Joseph
John
Friedrich (nickname freddy)


My last name is Hoffman, so I need a name that sounds good with that. I hate when people's first and last names don't flow nicely.

[EAZYmfE]

Well I don't know much about scandenavia, but I'd drop these for sure, as they are fully female.

Akira
Valentine
Andrea
Sascha

The others I dunno about, they are still weird. Unless you live in that part of the world those names WILL get your son's ass kicked at least once a week from age 8 - 16. Or if he is very lucky it'll merely be continuous, and sustained emotional torture through high school. YAY! :D

Sascha ain't female if you're a rusky. Being a rusky should warrant being bullied in school, though.

Also I find your morbid fear of bullies very interesting, were you bullied because of your name in school? What do you care if your son gets the shit kicked out of him because some prepubescent (sp?) assholes dislike his name. It'll only make the kid tougher. Or he'll kill himself if he's a pussy, in which case he's not a worthy son anyway. Its win-win. So name the fucking kid Sue.

EDIT: I see Sue has already been suggested, awesome :D

Morbid fascination? LOL, if a kid gets his ass beat daily because he is a nerd, or a retard or something that is one thing. Having it done because you as a parent gave him a fucked up name is another however.

I'm all for toughening kids up, but setting them up for failure isn't the same as toughening them up.

My name is Eric though, for the record. Nothing weird about that. Though that damn movie fucked up my initials I never really got shit about that. (E.T.)

My sister on the other hand had a weird name... Zebrina... (Not Sabring, Zebrina...) I'm amazed she turned out to be a normal, well adjusted person. Most of the wierd named people I've met haven't done so well LOL. Sunshine, & Starbeam (two chicks I knew once upon a time) were seriously fucked in the head.

Yeah, I know a girl named Princess (I shit you not). She's not exactly crazy, but she never seemed to be happy and she was ridiculously shy. Though she was one of those "casual acquaintances" that one gets a lot of in high school, so maybe I'm wrong.

its wierd that you picked the name of some towns though. Arent elam and ephraim still around?

Why do you make this such a problem? You already have number 2 in your own name, just honor the tradition, copy your name and change the number to three. :ninja:

[Uzik]

its wierd that you picked the name of some towns though. Arent elam and ephraim still around?

There are probably towns for most first and last names. What does that have to do with anything?

[epicor]

nothing really, just never heard them used as names. but i guess you are right - jacksonville, jamestown, etc.

-edit- yeah i cant believe i spelled right as write. I r spl gud. -2 internets for me.
