Your firstborn child
Everyone has a name that they absolutely love that they will name their firstborn child. This is the place to discuss.
Note: if you want to talk about bad names go to the Really Bad Names thread. Personally I've only come up with boy's names so far. 1. Zach(ary) 2. Rafael/Rafi 3. Ethan/Eitan (Ei pronounced to rhyme with ray) 4. Most names that start with a 'J' for some reason. eg Jordan, Josh, Jeremy Its a bit more complicated for me as I would need to come up with a hebrew name as well and its generally best to have english and hebrew names that are equivalent (eg mine are Nathan and Natan). so go on, what's your choice... |
If I have a daughter, I was to name her 'Maybe'.
If it's a boy, I'd like to name him 'Chance' or 'Nefarious'. |
Jesus is the son of god. If I name my son Jesus, then that shall make me god! IT'S FLAWLESS!

Bob....my child.
I'm too young to even think about it. (It disgusts me) Besides I gotta admit, Im kinda stupid when it comes to naming things. Example: This is Bob :cheer:

:
I actually love the name "Nathan/Natan"... I think "Nate" sounds very strong and masculine but also suits all ages from a baby to a very old man... and thats important... but mostly I imagine a tall, tanned, dark haired blue eyed, 22 year old Australian surfer... with lots of chest hair... *ahem* Anyhoo... Also "Finlay" (this is a new addition my current bloke has a Scottish surname and it fits perfectly... I love my boyf... so it figures I'm thinking of our prospective kids) "Fin" for short... again very masculine and traditional. Also "Cameron" for the same reason! Then there are the usual suspects.. "Daniel" "Marc" "Jonathan" etc etc But NOT "Damian" "Conner" "Jason" "Gavin" basically any Charver (trailer trash) names! On teaching practice I taught far to many little s**theads Christened with those! As for girls... My boyfriend loves the idea of "Sasha" (which incidentally is what his parents wanted to call him originally!!!!!! They're of European descent!) I keep telling him its a man's name but he won't have it as he doesn't want to inflict it on any son of his after his narrow escape! I tend to go for the original traditional girls' names... "Jennifer" "Rebecca" (thats my sis's name so that would be a tad weird though!) "Charlotte" "Abbi (gayle)" etc etc etc... But one thing I do know... I WILL NOT name any child of mine with a monosyllabic name like Claire or John... you miss out on essential family/friend/lover terms of endearment (by shortening your name).... I so missed out on that! |
I don't know why, but Jake always struck me as fitting. No clue what'd I'd name a girl,though.
Edit: Clairebear, that's as annoying as hell. My brother's name is Tyler so it's Ty this and Ty that. What's even worse is a Y at the end of a name. Petey, Davey, Johny, etc. If I had a son named Jake the first person to call him Jakey would get a rusty spork jammed in their eye. |
I know exactly what you mean.
The majority of the people I know call me "Davie". It used to really take the piss out of me, but these days it almost sounds wrong to hear anyone call me David. Rusty fork, please. |
'What if I called my son Anakin Skywalker'
Then your son would be the Dark Lord, and not you. Because Anakin is Darth. Nathaniel, Alexie, Alexias, Sasha, Lucius, Lucious-Black, Amy, Ben, Connor, Danyael, Samyael, Marcus, Gabriel...more to come. |
Oh yeah wtf am I talking about ...But you dont know anythhing about anakins dad..for all you know he could be a sith :p but anyway back on-topic.
|
If I had a son I'd name him John like me, then tell him to name everyone of his childern John, then to name thier children John and so on.
Even if they were girls... |
Cyber-Slig, Anakin didn't have a dad. It was an immaculate conception like Jesus.
CB you got me partially right. I do have dark hair. Jacob I can't but feel that Nathaniel would be an appropriate name for your firstborn. It literally means 'Gift of God'. BTW any hebrew-sourced name ending with 'el' mean 'of god'. eg Gabriel, Michael, Samuel, Rafael etc And lastly, I can't beleive I forgot my number 1 choice for a boys name; Random. I don't know why I like it but I do. |
Too bad Random was one of the lamest Marvel super heroes of all time.
|
I also like Bastian and/or Sebastian. Ohh, and Simon. And James.
Jade as well, Jade's a purty name. |

If I remember correctly, he could turn his arms into various firearms.
Lame city. |
my parents must have hated me cause they named me Nicholas(theres like 4 at my school).........but my middle name is Rob and most of my freinds call me Rob.
|
if there are four of you then it must have been popular at the time. You should thank your parents for giving you a fashionable name.
Just like all the Daniels and Bens I know - not one is called by their first name as it would be too confusing. |
:
I think there was a TV show running in that period with female protagonist of the same name... but thats not why I was named Claire... my mum worked with a woman who used to talk about her older sister a lot calling her "our Claire"... mum liked the name! |
I was named thanks to my mum reading a book with the name 'Jessica' in - she fell in love with the name and...well...ta-daaa.
|
Ummm... What actually is your name Jacob?
My first name (Nathan) was just because my parents liked the name. My middle name (Samuel) was named after a great uncle who was a doctor with the League of Nations in Siam. When the Japanese invaded the Siamese tried to suck up to them by murdering all the westerners. Thats the history you won't read in the books... :eek: |
I've been mad at my parents ever since I was an infant, it seems. My middle name is Ann, and there are at least 200 other girls at my school with that middle name! My first name is Courtney and I don't care much about that. Dunno why, but all my friends call me Bob.
|
Bob?What kind of sick world do you live in girl....
|
I don't know. I don't pay attention that much.There's not any Bobness in my name is, there?(Lol. Bobness....hehehe.)
|
I'd name him/her "J. Jonah Jameson." Because he's my favorite Spider-Man character.
Or I'd name either one "Traditional Headress." Just because. But if we're being specific about genders... Boy: Lol Hammond, Hoivich Kericnakoff. Girl: Gretchen Pumpernickle, Sgt. Lamp, Mrs. Fleckenstein. I am a bad person. And no, I haven't thought about it much yet. :p |
