I am naming my kid Kilrex. Been using it as a handle since Neverwinter Nights on AOL back in '93. Poor kid...

Just sayin...

Well, I'm hoping that if my kid goes Evil, then he does it with style - the megalomaniacal, world conquest type of style that all worthy uber-villains should aspire to.

Although, my youngest niece might already be grooming herself for that position......

So perhaps ASMODEUS GRAZZ'T ABERCROMBIE, then?

Too funny. The name I kept suggesting (jokingly) for my son was Tetraxerxes. My wife was progressively less and less amused.

We ended up with a half-dozen for either sex and named him after we saw him.

My family is partial to Irish names. Brendon or Brandon is too popular these days, but Donal, Ciaran, Sean, Padraig. All good.

Some will see D.M.A. and think dumba$$.

I think Doctor of Musical Arts, but I don't think most people would make that connection.

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.

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.

The best name book we found was this one. It was actually pretty helpful but more than that, it was a fun read.

Part of my thought process was how rare names starting with X are. Nobody's getting your monogrammed stuff confused!

I think we'll be okay as long as we keep having girls. We can't agree on any boy names.


My son's name is Loki and my daughter's name is Cayenne.

I am terribly fond of Rhys.

Although, if my last name was Abercrombie, I'd go with Alain. He's a s@#%ty iconic with a great name.

Nah, people would hear 'Elaine and he'd confront his dad in a bar one day.

I believe someone upthread suggested "Cosmo"... That sounds really cool, so I just wanna second this suggestion.

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

What 'type' of name are you and the missus looking for?

Well, in that case, you should definitely go with Victor or Lex. Maybe Uxas if you want to be a bit more exotic.

Eh, you could give him my first name, and all his life he would get the "That's your first name?" question. Plus, if you go with Edward for a middle name, it'll be like you really named him after me (it's mine.) Or if you go with Charles as a middle name, it'd be like you named him after me and my best childhood friend, with the added benefit of having his initials be SCA, which has its own coolness if your into that sort of thing.

-Stratton

PS- Hey, Name him Dean Edward. "Dean Abercrombie" sounds good together, and his initials will be DEA. He can wear his initials in bold letters on the back of his jacket and have a really interesting life.

I suggested Anthony Edward earlier, if only to tie in with his IronBaby nickname. Unfortunately, that bodes ill for his liver.

Sorry, for reasons I am completely and totally unwilling to explain the name Adam is forever dead to me.

Henceforth, I will only refer to you as Daigle or the D-man.

Sovereign Court

Throatwobbler Mangrove, but spell it Raymond Luxury Yacht

Either that or Indigo

I bet Adam stole your girlfriend. Don't feel bad, I hear she was made for him.

Oh you probably won't like the names I'll call your son when he gets older and is playing at my table. :D

Congrats on having one though -- remember insanity is hereditary, we inherit it from our kids!


If I ever have a son, I'm aiming for Zeke... naturally my wife doesn't agree, but I still think Zeke is a helluva name.

Scarab Sages

Someone at work suggested Reginald. I think they were serious, which is probably why they got mad when I said I didn't want him to grow up and be a butler.

Silver Crusade

I think you all are missing the point, he could name his child something that would have the initialls ABBA. I know I know two B middle names, but come on ABBA Dancing Queen!!

:)

On secound thought maybe its more of a girls name.

Just as an update: the wife and I finally decided on a name for the soon-to-be-born spawnlet: Charles Henry Abercrombie

That doesn't sound nearly as commanding as Freehold Ozymandius Abercrombie, but it's a good name.

Cool name, you did better then me and my wife. Jude wasn't named until 4 or 5 hours after he was born.

Yeah, we're happy with it, and it's a family thing: My dad's first name is Charles, and her dad's middle name is Henry. I think my dad might have teared up a bit when we told him.

I can't think of a finer way to honor someone than to name your child after them.


BOY: Mortimer Allouicious Phineas P. J. Whoopie III

GIRL: Seven of Nine

Just kidding.

OK, I'm somewhat serious about these... My wife didn't go for them, but I still think they are cool...

BOY: Aragorn (as in the Lord of the Rings)

GIRL: Charisma (as in Charisma Carpenter)
