What would you name your children?

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

A son I would name Donald, I come from a mini-clan of men named Donald as I am Donald the III. I want my son to be the 4th.

As for a potential daughter... I haven't really thought about it that much.

 

[AngleWyrm]

I named them Alex and Alisha.

 

[JCBFGD]

I have a name for my first son and my first two daughters already picked out.

James Maynard (I'm a gigantic Tool fan, what can I say?)
Sophia Kindred (Sophia is Greek for "wisdom". It's also the name of one of the characters in VALIS, my favourite book. Kindred after Philip K. Dick, the author of VALIS)
Shannon Yvonne (the slightly modified name of one of my greatest, oldest friends)

IMO, those are some pretty badass names with some pretty badass namesakes.

 

[emeraldrafael]

If hes a boy Im naming him Jacob and call him jake (if he doesnt mind), because I owe my friend Jake that much, since he's always been there for me. Though Joshua is also a name I enjoy.

for a girl, id either say Amy or... hm. Amy or Rebecca.

of course I'll listen to my mutual partner for their opinoin, but this is what I would name them. and barring that maybe make it their middle name.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Being the sucker for tragedy, conflict and all, I'm drawn to the classical Greek names. So, for girls: Cassandra; Megaera; or Eris. A 'normal' name I'm fond of though is Marisa...

As for boys names: Maximillian; Lucian; and Alexis... 'cos I'm odd like that...

BTW anyone know the etymology of 'Lucian'?

/b/ dubs decides

somebody did that and ended up calling his son Courage Wolf (he posted a picture of the birth certificate)
daughter: Lain
son: Luke

 

[dcdude171]

First name Mario , second name speedwagon

Mario speedwagon _______ works with any name to make it sound amazingzz

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Male: Kieran, Lucian, Arthur, Ajax, Apollo, Kheiron, Alphonse, Bastien, Dmitri, Edgar

Female: Gwynevere, Cassandra, Astrid, Amber, Io, Luna, Selena

The middle name would be Bernadette after my grandmother, who is the greatest person in the world, ever.

Though, being gay and not liking kids, I won't likely be having any anytime soon.

That is the best thing I have heard all day.

 

[Sonicron]

I've always liked the ring of 'Markus' and 'Hannah' respectively, so I guess those would be my first choices.

 

[Phisi]

Don't really want kids, but a first choice would be Alex. Either short for Alexander or Alexandra. Easy.

Damnit that was my idea. With that stolen I would name them Vector because mathematical graphics are cool. You could shorten in to Vex which sounds more like a name.

Edit: I could go for Wolfgang

[pipsiscool]

After today, I would definitely name a daughter of mine Cadence. No idea what I would name a son though...

 

[Lt._nefarious]

For a boy:
Dante
Henry
Ethan
Sebastian
Tobias
Graham
Vincent

and for a girl:
Cybil
Sylvia
Miriam
Judith
Cynthia
Dominie (I believe that is correct spelling)
Bertha

 

[phyrexian]

Girls: Anastasia, Zelda, Beatrice...
Boys: Dexter, Oliver...

I'll think of more later. I won't be poppin' out babies for a good few years.

 

[ClockworkPenguin]

I weep for the next generation of escapists.
Knowing personally a Jonny English and a Vicky Pollard, I am all too aware of the hardships faced by people with unusual names. So i'd probably go with something run of the mill like Sam or James for boys, Rebecca or Sophie or something for girls.

If I was going to be cruel I might go for James Clarke Maxwell for the boy, which isn't even that bad, although it would be harder for the girl because 'curie' would be an odd middle name.

In all truth, i'd probably let the mother decide.

 

[Doitpow]

Edward, Jacob, and Catniss.

Such beautiful names

 

[Scarim Coral]

As for the time being (since I would need to discuss the child naming with my wife)-

If it's a boy- James (eventhough that name remine me of this dickhead back in High school), Ryan, Liam or maybe Michael (a cousin of my is named Michael so that could be confusing).

If it's a girl- Kelly, Emma, Rachael or Faye.

 

[CrashBang]

If I have a daughter, her name's gonna be Lyra (after Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials).
With boy names, I'm at a loss. Maybe something from DC like Wally, Bruce or Hal.

 

[Gordon Freemonty]

Either grape or blossom fairy.

No, probably something like Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.
