A few weeks ago I asked for help naming my new kid. The escapist community responded with a (friendly) vengeance. Please welcome "Luke" to the world My wife liked it for its old world tradition, I like it because "Luke, *I* am your father!" WILL NEVER GET OLD. EVER.
Thanks again you wonderful nerds! You guys are great ^^

Well isn't this awesome. Luke is a great name, by the way, star wars reference or not.

I wish you, Luke and Padme(?) all the best!

 

[steeple]

Spoiler: you just reminded me this

anyway, congratulations! hopefully you wont become dark lord of the galaxy and have him hunt you down for vengeance...

 

[staika]

Yes!!! you are my hero for doing that and I was planning on naming my future son Luke as well so I can say "Luke I am your father" all the time.

Spoiler: you will probably look like this very soon

 

[DasDestroyer]

Epic names FTW!
Oh, and congratulations

 

[Sevre]

Congratulations! Best of luck to you and young Luke!

When I read the title I thought it was a thread made by a guy asking to be banned (not in the literal sense). But this is nice and heartwarming isnt it, good luck with your new kid!

Congrats and good luck. You're gonna need it...

 

[Luke3184]

Holy shit my names Luke, I like the guy already...

 

[Tharwen]

When he's old enough, just tell him.

Tell him honestly that you only chose his name so you could make that reference over and over again.

 

[Caliostro]

Congratulations man.

If he only knew the power, of the dark side.

 

[fenrizz]

Cool man.

Congratulations on having a son!
Being a dad myself I can only say that it's the best damn thing in the world.

Enjoy man, they grow up before you even know what happened.

 

[UnknownGunslinger]

Congrats on becoming a daddy
All the best to you and little Luke.
Plus, if you ever have a baby daughter, naming her will be a lot easier

 

[Scarim Coral]

Congratulations! I sincerely hope that your son will not blame you for naming him after the main character from Star Wars in the future (you know how kids can act).
Still he also got the same first name from Luke Triton, the professor number 1 assistant (the Professor Layton game).

You didn't hear that George Lucas is retconning Star Wars to call him Duke Starkiller?

Heh

Seriously though, gratz. We shall need pictures of young Luke, promise not to say anything mean.
