What would/will you name your children?

[Contra(dictory)]

yeah I'm pretty sure nobody that names their children after video game and cartoon characters should be allowed to reproduce

why

the fact that you have to ask speaks for itself

that doesn't answer my question

Reason 1. A child is an important part of you and your partner that should be loved, cared for and taken utterly seriously, not given absurd fantasy names that're more or less guaranteed to give them hell. About 99% percent of people posting in this thread are fucking nerds, and what happens to fucking nerds in school and in life?

I shouldn't have to answer that question. Remember the shitty things that people have done to you, now imagine how much worse it was if your name was fucking Roxas.

Reason 2: Look back up there. You see the "taken utterly seriously" part? Well, yeah, kids are new life and pretty much deserve that. Every good decision you make will help them grow into a better, happier person, and every shitty decision you make, like naming them fucking Fluttershy, will make their lives worse because you're too fucking stupid to understand that life isn't a game.

Let me wrap this up. In this thread alone, I've seen people with the horribly mistaken belief that you can control the gender of a child *cough*, that people of the opposite gender are like fucking dogs *coughCOUGHcough*, and that you can go and give your children the most fucking stupid name and somehow think that that doesn't reflect badly on you or them.

Before I descend into a coughing fit because of how much condensed bullshit is in a single thread, I just want to say that if you lack the emotional maturity to understand how children work (most of you don't seem to) and if you lack the common sense not to give them "please punch me in the face" names, you do not deserve to reproduce.

A child is a whole new life in your fucking hands. That is one of the world's deepest, most profound things, and you want to name that little bundle of joy Gregorios? The fuck?

sidenote: if your chosen fantasy name is actually a real name that isn't dumb, you're fine

sidenote's sidenote: also preaching "emotional maturity" in a thread filled with teens and preteens is kind of fucking dumb. this thread was a horrible idea from its inception.

I hope you're being serious.

i don't think half the people here were serious.
i sure wasn't i'd never reveal the name i have for my son

OK, that's still a good list.

no, you misunderstand. it doesn't involve changing the child's gender. they remove eggs and sperm from the parents, combine them in vitro, and then select a zygote of the sex desired by the parents for implantation. this is a perfectly realistic process and it happens every day

well, alright. still kinda stupid that people are that adverse to having a child being the intended gender, but whatever.

Excellent speech.

somehow i think you're being sarcastic

i'm actually not being sarcastic, sorry if it seemed that way

SARCASM SENSE IS OFF THE SCALE BUT THANK YOU JUST IN CASE

on-topic, the only names I have are Michael and Hector, both of which are somewhat reoccuring in my family. no idea what I'd name a daughter, but I'm sure I'll have something by the time I need to...I've no intentions of having a kid anytime soon for obvious reasons, so I'll have a lot of time to think.

 

[banjonator1]

If it's a boy I would name him either Culley or Walter (unrelated to Fringe or Breaking Bad, just a badass name).

If a girl then Theresa would be cool.

 

[Crypt Raider]

Edit to my original list. I also like Drake as a boy's name.

hey bb

 

[Dr. Javelin]

unlike [...] "rosalina"

I have an aunt and two former classmates named Rosalina. It's a perfectly legitimate name.

really? huh

i guess this might be a cultural/regional difference, i've never met anyone named rosalina

 

[GalacticPetey]

I haven't met a Rosalina, but I have met a "Rose"

The better question is, has anyone met a Rosalita? It happens to be the name of a great song.

when i read the percy jackson series, i thought "annabeth" was just a funny name

then i met someone with the actual name

[Tyrell Badd]

lol at this thread

About 99% percent of people posting in this thread are fucking nerds, and what happens to fucking nerds in school and in life?

If you're implying they get bullied, their name usually doesn't have anything to do with it.

I shouldn't have to answer that question. Remember the shitty things that people have done to you, now imagine how much worse it was if your name was fucking Roxas.

I know two people named Roxas and another two with their last name being Roxas (don't know if that counts, but its something). As far as I know, they're level-headed and aren't bullied.

[...]like naming them fucking Fluttershy, will make their lives worse because you're too fucking stupid to understand that life isn't a game.

To be fair, I don't think any sane person would name their child after an MLP character. At least, I pray that they don't.

No, it wasn't a horrible thread. It's because of people making a big deal over trivial things that this thread devolved into stupid territory.

I would've never thought this Thread would go this far either.

am i doing it right?

 

[Anton]

It was pretty much only 2 people who continued having a conniption every other post. Everyone else was on-topic and reasonable, so this thread was and still is ok.

In addition, a bunch of "common" names gained popularity through their inclusion in The Bible, which is also a book. Names like John and Mark are only common to countries and populations that practice Christianity, just like Muhammad is a pretty common name to Islamic countries. It's perfectly reasonable to use names inspired from various media and fiction and basically absolutely anything else ever at all; that's how names always have formed. Sure, some names may look out of place within a particular society, but it's absolutely nothing to declare one unfit for reproduction over.



Anyways,

ok so i don't really want any children and i've never thought about this, but one thing i would definitely NOT do is name them after myself

i went to the bank the other day to deposit a check, and they put it in my dad's account. then i showed them my atm card, which i had for some reason never been able to use. it turned out that was because the card was also linked to my dad's account

stuff like this keeps happening and i'm thinking seriously about changing my name

I share my father's name but I haven't really hit too many speed bumps with that beyond him stealing a gmail account name that I wanted. It's allowed me to sign off packages in the mail for him and such when he wasn't around, and likewise him for me.

I've always liked the names Anna, Agatha, Helena, Petra, Elin, Astrid for girls, and Ulrich, Klaus, and uhhhh not too many boy names lol and other Nordic/German names that I can't recall at the moment. At the very least, I'd just want something that flows well with a middle and last name without sounding wonky or difficult to enunciate.

dick alert

 

[Zae]

oh no not names for people that dont even exist yet

lets overreact

 

[Anton]

The trivial thing here isn't the welfare of a child as you seem to think it is, but rather you having a fit over what someone else thinks is an ok name for a child. This thread is a bunch of kids (and a couple not-kids) casually posting names they think are neat. Pretty much everyone considers weird and wacky names for kids until it comes to the moment of truth, and if they want to stick with whatever name they chose then good for them. I think you should settle yourself down about this whole thing, seeing as you're now calling a mod a dick for trivial things.

 

[Contra(dictory)]

Well, I happen to take things concerning children and their well-being wholly seriously, so I apologize for not seeing the humor in this thread.

On that note:

 

[Anton]

I didn't say it was humorous in intent; I said it was casual i.e. not 4000% serious as for some reason you think this is. Relax.
