I suppose Charles Philip Arthur George is out?



Sorry, feeling whimsical.

I have to assume that no one got my (albeit lame) joke here.

Must be an age thing. Most of us are not as old as you. He has been known to wear kilts though, Balmoral tartan I should think.

Like Leif Garrett.

See how easy this is?

I really liked my grandfather's name Murdoch.

For a girl I like Euphoria.

Whatever you choose it can always backfire. Ronald Macdonald was just a common Scot name until 1968 when someone thought up a clown to sell hamburgers.

In Arizona you can change your name legally for $15...has been a real temptation the last 40 years but decided not to let some corporation drive me from my ancestry.

And, don't do the "junior" thing....nice for a boy to have his own identity...yup, I was one too.

Before my father died we'd go to Carl's Jr. for hamburgers then bet them the meal that there were two Ronald Macdonalds in their restaurant...then never comped us though.

Murdoch...go with Murdoch

Ron

My theory on naming kids is that your first priority should be giving the kid a name he can live with. So try and imagine growing up with that name before actually giving it to them. It may seem nice to name them after uncle Enis or aunt Helga, but that's just gonna be hell for the poor kid.

And forget about crazy names. Bad enough celebrities ruin their kids lives (as though they weren't going to be screwed up enough already) with names like apple and kal el, don't make the same mistakes.

However, when it comes to middle names, I say go nuts. Give them five crazy middle names and make their initials spell something fun. Throw in "danger" just for the hell of it.

Although, I do wonder how much money you could get for the naming rights to a kid. because for $20,000 I could see having a kid named starburst...


And now here's a suggested name for each letter of the alphabet (and 2 for X, because it's just cooler than all the other letters)

Antonio
Bruce (a good name, particularly when the middle name is wayne, willis, or lee.)
Cameron
Dante
Ethan
Flint
Gideon
Hiro
Isaac
Jaden
Kyle
Liam
Mace
Nolan
Owen,
Phoenix
Quinton
Rikimaru (like me)
Sean
Talon
Ulric
Vaughn
Wyatt
Xander
Xavier
Yoda (not many names begin with Y)
Zeke

Definitely. If your going to use Sean, or any other celtic name, go with the traditional spelling, not something that's been bastardized.... I mean anglicized.
