Marine1: New Testament Biblical names are generally a safe bet. There are exceptions, of course... Lazarus, for example.

So, naming my daughter "Dragon Beast of the Land Pale Horse Great Harlot Babylon [my last name]" would be OK?

Wellon Dowd: GladGirl: I'm on a baby board right now, and the "what name should I choose?" threads portend doom for the future of our country.

I'll bite. What the hell is a baby board?

Here's the digest.
Go read some of it, it's hilarious!

Bull Run
Bull Run II

Around here we prefer Manassas and Manassas II.

hurdboy: Tellingthem: Huh, I was born 1n 77. Does that mean my parrents were trendsetters?

I'm roughly the same age; there were at least two on my high school football team. Unlike my name, of which there were six on the team, and four of us had the same last initial. And all
three spellings.

Since my last name is difficult to pronounce and spell, I've told my wife if we have any kids I'd prefer first names imposable to screw up. Since people sometimes screw up her first name's spelling, I think she's on board.....

Yeah I had three more in my class as well. Helped that i always went by a nickname. A friend of mine has the same middle name as well (James) and our moms share a first name(Barbara). It can get kind of confusing for people when we hang out.

Huh, I was born 1n 77. Does that mean my parrents were trendsetters?

LOL, I was born 77 too. The name's Daniela :-)

Ha! I always loved how many of my teachers would say my name as "danielle" I even had to deal with it in college. I guess my long hair must have thrown them off.

Well, I am German, so Daniela is a normal but not over-used name. I met maybe a dozen Danielas in the past thirty years.

Whenever English is used though, I have to keep people from adding a second L. Most speakers of English do pronounce it Daniella, too.

Yeah it's weird. I thought that the name was common enough that people wouldn't confuse it. But it became my tradition on the first day of school to see how many teachers would get it wrong.

Knara: mitchcumstein1: I'm fairly certain George Carlin did this bit like 10-15 years ago.

Never trust a guy with the name "Skip" embroidered on his cap?

And don't hire advisors named "Scooter."

The All-Powerful Atheismo:

your last name is "[my last name]"? That's freaking awesome. But how do you enter it into a scantron?

With a number two pencil, silly!
DUH!!!!!!

Go for it, bro. She better be in a kick ass metal band later in her life, though...


Later in life?

Any kid of mine had better be pounding out power chords by the time their back teeth come in!

If it's twins, don't pick names that rhyme or start with the same letter. It's not cute, and it's never been cute.

Oh hell no. No unique spellings either.

We're thinking of going with Bobby Tables.

mzkitty901: I am really surprised my name isn't on any of the lists. I am sure if it was someone would try and spell it with a "K".

yeah, i know a caren. drives her friggin nuts when it's spelled with a k.
