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.

  1. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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
