I'm curious to see what names some of you would come up with for my son.

FreeholdDM is an excellent name.

Sovereign Court

My mother always loved the name "Theodore" (she likes the nickname "Teddy" especially), but Theodore Door would be...not so cool.

Thank goodness my parents cared about things like that when naming us!

Liberty's Edge

"Fitch" is the obvious name, but I'm sure that joke's been beaten to death already.

Sort of like how everyone thought my folks should have named me "Justin."

You could go with "Scottson," though.

Ivan. It's probably what I'll name my (future) son.


Oscar

or

Arial

They could have gone with Theo Door... but I think 'Jess' suits you better anyway. :-p

AZ, You should totally name him George Romero.

I agree George is a wonderful name and runs in your family for many many generations. Not to mention the only way it makes it to this next generation is if you name this kid George. Think of it as your family duty.

Stretch Armstrong, then one day he can be flung at your head by the goat monger and bust your skull.


Ming. Or Genghis. But not Darth.

Shadow Lodge

There's something to be said for M'k'n'zy. Most people can't get around the lack of vowels, though. Benjamin or Enzo are my submissions.

I wholeheartedly agree.

N0ob.


Rogue, Paladin, I think that both would be cool

Wraith, he might end up a bond villain but that would be cool

Baal, Horus, Odin, if you want a more divine thing

Keen, Vorpal (but that is more of a middle name)


Caleb.

Dark Archive

Hastur The Unspeakable One, Him Who Is Not to be Named, although calling him could be a problem...

Ok,john then.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Lich. So you can be Aberzombie & Lich. :P


My wife never let me use the name Gunther. Which it retrospect is a good thing, since we had a girl. Still . . .

Tristan Michael, that way he can be Tristan or Michael but few will have his name.

Shadow Lodge

Name him: Robert');Drop Table students;--


Zombaby: the Crawling dead.

You know I have a permanent bald spot on my head from that? Found it out when I started shaving my head.

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.

FreeholdDM is an excellent name.

One combo we are considering is David Michael, so he can be D.M. Abercrombie.

Sadly, while I like Theodore, I have two cousins with that name, neither of whom I would like to have thinking I named my child after them.

Actually, you're only like the 2nd or 3rd person to make that suggestion - far less than I had expected by now...

Robert is one of the names on my short list - after Robert E. Howard, of course.

Michael is another name on my short list, but I'm hesitant, since the boss before my current one was a Michael, and I didn't really like him.

Gunther is a cool name. If he then greew up to be a football player, he could go by "Gun" Abercrombie!


I am Taliesin Hoyle.
My brother is Phoenix Hoyle.
His son is Pippin Demian Hoyle
My son is Merlin Faraday Hoyle.
All excellent names.


Odin Abercrombie
Thor Abercrombie
Maxwell Abercrombie

The wikipedia entry on Abercrombie gives some names to avoid if you want your son to have unique search results. >>> Link <<<

Here is some background on my name. It is rare, and there are fewer than thirty of us in the world.

>>> Taliesin <<<

A (semi-) odd story came to mind, if you want to borrow from it:

-Mars Millenium Falcon Starcruiser
-Mercury Constellation Starcruiser
-Jupiter Laserblaster Starcruiser
-Galaxy Kittyhawk Starcruiser

Four siblings, children of a man who changed his last name to Starcruiser because he was a Sci-Fi nut. Mercury ran away from home and joined the navy. We read about this way back when in my Sci-Fi class.

That.....is actually kind of frightening.

Grognard... or perhaps Neogrognard?

Erik? ;-)

If I ever had a son, his name would be Charles Maximillian. Charles from the family tradidion, and Maximillian because I love that name.

Charles is another name on my short list, possibly as a middle name, but the wife hasn't said no to it being a first name. It's my father's first name, so it would be cool.

In my family it bounces back and forth.

Donald Charles --> Charles Richard --> Matthew Charles.

Which makes my name in English and Russian the same. Kind of cool. :-)

I approve of any Matthew name as well. And I have the backing of numerous avatars.

Can't do that. The term DM has been banned in this world. You should call him Gerald Michael then he would be G.M. Abercrombie.and the Paizo Gods have now been appeased


Xerxes!

(My pick for a boy name, subsequently nixed by my wife.)

Gilgamesh? Saber? Edgar? Octavius? Victor?

Rhadamanthys.

Ok, in seriousness -

Alexander
Galenos
Heron
Kleon

I've always liked Greek classical names, probably because my own actual name is Jason. My father named me that after getting hooked on Greek mythology when he was stationed there in the Navy for several months. He used to read the stories of Greek heroes to me from this set of books.

Yeh, I'd nix that one to, if for no other reason that to prevent a "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" moment on the jungle gym eight years down the road.

I liked Dade, my wife however did not (thus how we ended up with Jude).


I have a good friend named Rock Manly Peterson. Awesome name.

Silver Crusade

Gish.

Or possibly Nyarlathotep.

I've always been partial to Irish names myself, hence my kids are Kellen, Arden, and Donovan Riley. Not sure how it go with your surname though.
