It's gonna be a boy, folks. Therefore, I need names. I've already downloaded huge spreadsheets of hundreds of names and haven't liked many. Any of the latest en vogue names are being used by friends or, even worse, are STUDENTS at school - bad boys and girls! I'm looking for something cool or original. I know I kinda asked this in the other thread, but it deserves a thread of its own now. I just saw the little guy suck his thumb in the womb earlier! And don't bother with the George Costanza jokes - Seven and Soda. I already tried it on my wife and twenty other people thought it was funny to tell me over and over as well. Thanks.

ps - I know...if I want the baby to get mo' drawers I'll name him Beau.

ian, boston, or chicago

Pick any name you want. The only advice I'd give you is that you'll save the boy countless aggravation if you don't spell it in some unique way.

Ask any "Dustyn", "Micheal" or "JamesOn" (my personal favorite) that you meet.

Abigail May

My favorite was and still is Connor. Kristopher with a K is cool too.

My wife's friend has a son named Connor. It's funny that you should mention Kristopher with a K because I was just thinking about the SAME thing earlier this morning.

Can you be more specific about what kind of name you want? Musical names? I know this girl who is named Timbre and her brother is Tenor. I thought that was cool... How about Dorian?

That's what we gave our son for his middle name.

Deepak Chopra's son is named Gotham... I love that.

You just can't go wrong with the classics:

James
William
George

or cooler

Michael (it's not number one by accident!)
Doogie
Evan

Doogie?

Bob - because you can spell it backwards.

I'm partial to any form of Kris (go figure)

I like Ian, Kevin or manly names like Steve, Buddy, Joe, Mike.

Then there's always famous people, as long as they don't turn out to be criminals when he turns 14.

Don't use the music stuff because it puts pressure on him later to give a shit about music (whether he does or not)

Most importantly, CONGRATS!!!

"Father, when I was born 20 years ago, where did you come up with my name?"

"Oh dude, there was this musician named Prince and -"

"... you got my name from Prince?"

"nonono, don't be crazy, but he was a great musician and wrote all these kooky songs and there was a website about him and - "

"... you got my name from a Prince song?"

"don't be crazy Shackalackaboom! we got your name from a poll on the ORG!"

I know what you might say but I named my son Amadeus. I wanted to tell him and everyone who came across his name what the deal was. I would recommend Johann or Sebastian. Better yet, just have the balls to name him Prince and get it over with.

I say... don't name him anything, and just have everybody call him "the kid".
