My brother's wife is expecting their first child. They weren't married before, so they fucked it up but they were going to get married eventually so it was cool.

The point is, she's supposed to give birth in 3 weeks and they've chosen to name the baby Dylan Zeth, what's a mess itself. The worst part, though, is that out last name is Martínez

That kid is going to be made fun of his entire life

if it makes you feel better my brother has the entire Jedi Council tattooed on one leg and all the Dark Lords of the Sith on the other.

zeth is a kind of fun middle name, i guess...but dylan? that name is so played out for kids these days. why not just name him skylar? same diff.

My Nephew is Ty Kal-El Flores. Yes folks, his middle name is Superman's birthname

I like it!

What? Was Newport already taken in your family?

Dylan's incredibly common, and Zeth's nothing more than Seth with a "z". How's this going to get the kid made fun of?

well i dont know. my uncle who's from el salvador, when he came to america, the first he saw was a sign that said, "Marlboro". ever since he has been fascinated with that name.

Oh. Well in that case, it could have been a lot worse.

Wassup with Central Americans?

In Honduras, they wanted to (or did?) outlaw weird names. This after a rash of Rambo's and Ronaldreagan's showing up in schools. I myself have a cousin named "Rocky". Yes, as in Balboa. That's his GIVEN name.

The strangest...? A boy in Honduras named Usmail. That came about after his parents came to visit and spotted it on a truck.... U.S. Mail.

lol! we flashbacks. yeah, thats the only thing that makes me blush about my central american blood.

baroque said:

It's in the blood.
...I seriously considered naming my firstborn "Cauhtemoc" ...but my wife dismissed it.

PurpleJedi said:

that actually sounds cool.

OMG, I thought I clicked on baroque's thread.

I kept reading the last few post and thinking, what the hell does any of this have to do with Germany?

Imago said:

...its cool

baroque said:

...yeah...the last Aztec emperor...except that family would inevitably shorten the name to 'moco or moquito. [that's "booger" to all you non-bilinguals]

PurpleJedi said:

oh that would not be cool. its funny,cause i got named like the simplest name from all my family. i got the common name of, pedro. while my whole family have cool long names,i don't even have a middle name!

baroque said:

...that's very un-Central American. I take it you're not Catholic either (didn't take a name for Confirmation?)

PurpleJedi said:

oh well i was catholic. i converted to buddhism and daoism when i was sixteen.

My very good friend's husband wants to name their baby Boaz. You know like Bo-ass. He says it's biblical but I've never heard it before and I'd be damned if I'd pick it but whatever.

greenpixies said:

.. Ruth's husband ... David's great-grandfather..

Flowerz said:

Yeah, I figured it probably is biblical. But still...would you pick it?

greenpixies said:

No, but I would want my son to be a Boaz.. he had great character .. alot of integrity.. that's probaby why your friend's husband likes the name...
