"Dog that slowly learns how to talk"

Boy - Snotty Little Wanker
Girl - Strangled at Birth

I like to think that I incorporate Chinese culture into my life...

...I'm not Chinese, I just hate babies.

Boy: Jethro, Kane
Girl: maybe Claire, if not some derivtive of Katherine or something.

I just realize how awesome my boy's name would be.

For pets
Dog: Grizzly or Belarius

Boy: Tiernan Enoch
Girl: Dahlia Layne
I've been partial to the name Amaris for some time now, however I'm sure my child would hate me for it.

sidenote: my spouse wanted to name his first child "Se7en" or "5ive" because he thinks he's funny.

If it's a boy: Ted
If it's a girl: Special Patrol Group

Boy: Andreas, Simon or Gordon
Girl: no idea...

dont know if this has been posted yet...
ya, was talking to my girlfriend the other day too about what we would name our child

for me
boy: Justice
Girl: Alice (i have always fancy'd this name)

for her
boy: Leonardo
girl: Angela, Hailey

I would name my first child Sparta.My second child will be named Rick.

Yorgos Smith

I second calling a boy Jethro, also Elvis or Floyd (as it would be a bit too mean to call the little guy "Pink")
No idea what I would call a girl though

I don't know, but I'm going to call my basset hound Hank...
When I get one...

Boy - William Head Rhodes
Girl - Drunken Goth Rhodes

And I bet you think I am lying...

Is there a reason this is hypothetical, as opposed to what did you call your child, or is it based on an assumption that people here don't have children?
For a boy, Zack. For a girl, Sophie. I like the sound of both of them.

For a boy, I like the ring of Sebastian Lestat (first and middle name, obviously). Other possible first names include:

Vincent
Gideon
Elliot
or Artemis

Bebop

and

Rocksteady

Well as my surname is Norris I have to call my kid Chuck...I just gotta...

REDH4MMER:
Bebop

and

Rocksteady

lol and some little fruits named leo, don, mike, and raph are gonna kick their arses all through preschool.

Boy: Jack Bernard
Boy: Benjamin Rubeus

I don't want a girl.

Reading this thread, I'm loathe to think what would happen if some of these people actually had kids... *sneaks sideways glance at Vaash Vincent*

For the love of [insert deity here] don't name your kid after a damn video game character, because I can guarantee little Noob Saibot isn't going to think it half as clever as you did; also, avoid the "most popular name" bandwagon, because the last thing you want is for thirty snot nosed little bastards to come running when you holler for Logan.

I named my daughter Persephone Christine Rose Medlin. Had she been a he, he would've been Odin Robert Alexander (Here's hoping for the next one). I had two major influences in thinking of these names, and don't misunderstand me, my wife weighed in heavily as well, but I can't speak to her though process...anyway.

1. In the course of a six year period over one thousand girls were named "Unique". Fucking FAIL.

2. "In the age of super-boredom, hype and mediocrity" I want my children to have every edge they can. Persephone is a powerful name, and I hope it will serve her well in life; by the same token I know that kids are assholes, hence the "common" middle names, so, in eleven years when she hates her daddy and the stupid name he gave her, she can go by Christine (and variances thereof) or Rose until she decides otherwise; same goes for little Odin, whenever he decides to show up.

Just do me a favor? If you have a girl, don't buy into the trend and name her Skyler; it's an American bastardization of Schuyler, a Danish name for boys.

EDIT: Realized, after I got off my soapbox, that I'd forgotten to include the number on the list where one could find the hard evidence of the 1,026 people who'd named their daughter "Unique", and I went back to find it, only to discover that this is the new list with last years numbers figured into it as well...it seems "Unique" is unique again...whoops.

I lost a bet.

I don't know

I do like the name Vince for guys, so I guess if it's a guy I'll name him Vince

If it's a girl....I kinda like Katty.

girl = Marina, ArianaIsobel, Tess, Lucy, Josephine, Mariah(spel) Alexa
Boy = Patrick, Victor Artemis, David, Blake, Alex, Joseph, Benjamin, -benadict as a middle name

-my last name is Strong- an am not giving that up when i marry.

hmmm...... have previously thought of others bt cant remember them now

Bane of my life

A girl, Amelia Eleanor. A boy Edward Paul. Amelia, I really like, Eleanor, Edward and Paul are all relatives names. Of course there are also Marthas, Thelmas, Kimberlys, Tamaras, Leleahs, Marys, Josephines, Thomases, Theodores, Francises, Lawrences and etc, etc, etc. (Oh yeah...guess the denomination...)

So, do none of you actually have kids? I can't be the only parent on the Escapist...

How about Damnit. Then you won't even have to remember their name when you are ready to dole out the beatings.

Seeign as im aimign for one of each Id just name them after me and the wife

Newt! Good for a boy or girl!

They mostly come at night, mostly...

monodiabloloco, I'm a parent too. Naming our kids was fun. Caedmon Cid, Celes Elizabeth, and Cait Danielle. Cyan was the only name we had on our list (for a boy) and didn't use. People even think they're nice names, and don't look at me weird until I tell them they're from games. (Well, Caedmon isn't that I know of, but still...)

Those of you who want to use the popular names, think of my son's class of 18 kids- THREE TYLERS! I think there's a girl name repeated too. Please, there are normal sounding names that aren't that common, or are common any more. I don't think there's been a single Jennifer in any of the NINE classes my kids have been in, for instance.

If a boy Azrial, if a girl... thats not my child... jk uuh i'd name her... uuuh... Ester... no she'd get made fun of at school for that. I need something elegent yet subtle... I GOT IT! ClEaVaGuLuS

Michael E. Lakis II. I've always wanted to have my Dad's middle name so I could be a "II" but no, no I'm not. So I'm gonna name my first son that, so I can call him "Number 2" like the Monarch from Venture Bros.

Achilles and Ares are also names I would like to use. For a daughter, Artemis and Evanthia (my Grandmother's and cousin's name). Athena maybe.

Mike Hunt

Anita Bath

I win.

I would name my kids after various food.

You know.
Grape
Apple
Pizza.
Etc.

Norbert Fingleberry

Seriously though, if it was a boy I like names like Tobias and Nathanial and as for girls I like things like Victoria or Keirra. I think names like Hope or Charity are really stupid. It's like we played the dictionary game.
