names are weird

because your parents choose it for you at birth and stuff and if you have weird parents they give a weird name. unfortunately some of the most awesome names aren't actually really realistic in terms of your kid not being picked on and stuff blah blah blah blah. names like: hieronymous, algernon, merlin etc. because i mean, is the name hieronymous not awesome??? if i lived in the 1400s that's what i'd call my son. if i lived in the late 1800s i'd call him algernon and if a lived in an arthurian legend i'd call him merlin. arthur works now though. i do actually quite like arthur as a name. (my brother would have been rabindrinath if my dad had had his way and i would have been lucifer)

what would you call your kid if anything was possible. and what was your alternate name???
best names get a prize of some sort. i'll work out what later.

if i had a kid id call him/her 'nobody' after that scene in the oddessy (?). and i was going to be called ruby and i was born and they were like, 'hang on, its a boy' and then because sam moon's parents were going to lend us a house (still are) they were like, 'they wont know each other much anyway', so they named me after him.

yeah, hooray for my manly past.

lol wut? zomg how is america kakakakakak

trafalgar-law sounds pretty awesome. and a girl's name would be kisheena-valentine.

i think everyone should have an asian name in addition to their names and middle names.

JD said...

I want an asian name!
Humph!

I would call my kid Waldemar or Valdemar, obviously. I don't have any girl names, tho.

Possibly Heinrich or Helmut or Ludwig as a iddle name...

In science, me and goat were going to call our kid Napoleon Rasputin Rocket Vader Sava-Lutz-O'Leary-Hughes.
So probably that with Waldemar in it.

i wished it wasnt illegal to name a kid a name with numbers in it.. then i would call my kid mr 3... and he could be Mr 3 [insert middle name and last name here] and when addressed with mr, he could be Mr. Mr 3 [insert middle name and last name here]
or like Px-1 or R2D2

"insert appropriate nickname here" said...
