I was not aware that Riley was his middle name. He's obviously that much cooler in my book.

I've noticed, and I think they go well with your last name. They sing.
As for my last name, not sure. My father is Charles, so is my oldest brother (although he goes by his middle name of Patrick). Brother #2 is Christopher, #3 is Steven, I'm #4, and my younger brother is George. I've also got 3 nephews: William, Ethan, and Alex.
Some of the names on our short list: Michael, James, John, David (my middle name), Charles, Henry (only for a possible middle name), Robert.
And we can't do Edward - my younger brother called dibs on that one in the event he ever has another son.

I go by my middle name. Does that make me cool, too?

Well considering the Sparkle Blood craze going on you may want to avoid Edward anyway. Hmmmm, I like David with your surname. But you could go with Bruce. Maybe Campbell for a middle. ;)

No. It's your wings and awesome sense of comedic timing that do that. ;)

That's one of my other stated reasons for avoiding Edward.
My sister-in-law did suggest Bruce, but knowing I'm a comic book fan she went with the middle name of Wayne.

Friend of mine was looking at going that route. I suggested Emeil Edward. That way he'd be Emeil E Post. :-)

If I ever had a son, his name would be Charles Maximillian. Charles from the family tradidion, and Maximillian because I love that name.
Don't forget its your oldest brother's name as well, we just don't call him that.

Incidently, we are apparently driving the many of the older women folk crazy back in New Orleans with our lack of a decision (or deliberate secrecy as some think) regarding the child's name.
Like I don't know that, they think you have told me and that I refuse to tell them.

If you ask Jen she may give you Edward. From the way the kids were acting today I would say she has joined me in deciding no more kids.

Take a look at the most popular names for the past few years (and the alternate spellings). You can see that here at the social security site. That way, if you decide to go with "Jacob" at the playground, you won't be surprised when you call for your child and half the playground follows you home.

Geoffrey Mulu-lizi Abercrombie? Initials G.M.Abercrombie, and Mulu-lizi means "Man of Fire." It's also the name of the Delta star in Libra. The idea popped into my head after Sect's comment. One of the guys I work with sometimes is named Deneb, after the Alpha star in Cygnus. Translation? "Tail of the hen."
Other M-stars:
- Mirach, Mirak, Merak, Mizar - All forms of "loins"
- Melik - King?
- Menkalinan - Charioteer
- Maaz - He-goat
- Muphrid - isolated, single one (of the lance-bearer)
- Muliphein, Muhlifain - the two causing dispute and the swearing of an oath
- Miaplacidus - placid waters
- Menkent - shoulder of the centaur
- Menkar, Menkab - nostril
- Mira - wonderful
- Mensa - the table (mountain)
- Microscopium - the microscope
- Monoceros - the unicorn
- Musca - the fly
- Meissa - shining
- Matar - rain
- Maia - great one
- Merope - eloquent
- Markab - ship
I left out a few because they were just silly. You could also be a normal person and use Michael, Mikhail, Mark, etc.
You are going to let us know what the end result is, yes?

Oh yeah, I've seen that list, and I think the wife and I are going to have success steering clear of it (unless we go with Michael). We also have a book (borrowed from one of my gaming buddies) that has thousands of name suggestions from all over the world.

Also useful as a bank robber or serial killer.
Just sayin...
