What would you name your children/adopted slaves/incomprehensible offspring?
 
My first born son would be Champion. Champion Lugosi Clair.

Second son would be Captain Mountain Clair.

First daughter would be Princess Hatchback Clair.

Second daughter would be Alligator Yogurt Clair.

all of them would adore me

The accident, the mistake, and the misfortune.

Strike Witch 09-27-2010 01:43 PM

If it's a boy, Sam.

If it's a girl, Samantha.

OANST 09-27-2010 01:49 PM

Let me guess. Your mom's plan was:

If it's a boy, Alex.

If it's a girl, Alexis.

I don't think I would put a lot of effort into naming my offspring, so I'd call it John or Amy. Respective to gender of course.

Nemo 09-27-2010 02:39 PM

I'd put a bunch of silent letters in their name.

Like Bdaevid, or Pterrance.

MA 09-27-2010 02:45 PM

if its a boy: Bill, John or Richard.
if its a girl: Misty or Samantha.

for the record, i don't really like my first name.

Well I think it's not very nice to call a girl John

and I know I wouldn't like to be an Amy

I like my name because Adam was the first man, according to Christianity, while Nemo is latin for "No Man."

Slag? 09-27-2010 04:31 PM

I would name my son after the Modem.

"We have a new student today class! Stand up and tell us your name!"

"BEE BOING BUNG BEEEEEP CHSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Erm... Go to the Nurse."

"But-"

"GO!"

I do know someone who's dad insisted that his firstborn child was going to be named after him irrespective of gender. Thus her name was Peta.


As for me, my hypothetical male children will be named Gabriel, Zach, Rafael and Random.

Actually Alexander the Great.

She changed it to Alexandra when I turned out to be a girl.

Nate 09-27-2010 09:24 PM

She named you after a midget, epileptic, bisexual Macedonian?

Wings of Fire 09-28-2010 01:19 AM

Well she's at least one of the four.

At least.

Can gay people father children?

Wings of Fire 09-28-2010 02:19 AM

Gay people can adopt.

enchilado 09-28-2010 02:28 AM

Or get an IVF.

For boys names, she tells me Robert after Robert the Bruce, or William for the Conqueror.

She loved history in college, and got my eventual name picked by a lecturer there. Funnily enough, said lecturer is now teaching me for history from the 1900s. Small world~

nah, gay people fathering children is one of those urban myths. i've been to Bognor Regis.

Crashpunk 09-28-2010 04:01 AM

I've always liked the name Max for a boy.

Ridg3 09-28-2010 04:11 AM

This thread has made me think what I would actually call my children, if I have any. I've decided to name them after people who influenced me in my life, mainly musicians ('cause I'm that original yo)

Boy - Danny, Dave, Saul or Marco.
Girl - Sabine, Angela or Angelica.

Alcar 09-28-2010 04:21 AM

James & Kayla. Or Sinclair & ClĂ*odhna.

Alcar...

Other Boy: Linck

Bullet Magnet 09-28-2010 05:41 AM

Natural Progeny #(n+1), where n = the number of older siblings he or she has.

Nate 09-28-2010 05:57 AM

Wouldn't that be a misnomer? I mean could your progeny ever exist due to 'natural' means?

abe619 09-28-2010 06:15 AM

they would be:
Osama "Bin Laden" "my last name"
and George "Bush" "my last name"
and those r the types of little devils that u should keep away from firecrackers, and i would try to interrupt their chemistry lessons and sessions...

STM 09-28-2010 07:42 AM

Boy: Gil(gamesh), Paul, Pat(rick), The dark destroyer #1 - 5 oh or Preston
Girl: Tami or if I felt cruel, something horrid like Irma or Meredith!

OddjobAbe 09-28-2010 07:47 AM

It's fucking stupid, but I'd like to name my son after myself, then stick "II" on the end. I don't think I'd go through with it, because I know for a fact that the other person who would have a say in it would not like it one bit.

Laser 09-28-2010 10:14 AM

Michael. After Michael Stipe....and my dad.

Thats how my Dad named me after Joe Strummer and his Grandad's nickname as a lad.

Girl?...pass I dunno just yet

Less misnomer, more redundant. Actually, no, it will be a misnomer, an outright lie. Nothing about their reproduction will be natural.

Besides, which first name would you rather have? "Natural" or "Progeny"?
