Emergency naming - help!

Okay guys, I need some help here. I have a new boy in my kindergarten and he needs an English name! The chance to name a kid doesn't come all that often and it's an opportunity I want to make the most of. Luckily, I wasn't forced to do it on the spot, but I'm sure I'll be expected to name him tomorrow morning. The pressure!!!

Here are the past names I've given:

  • Luke (I suppose Skywalker, but I also just love the name - cute, worthy kid)
  • Sydney (from Alias - girl was cool and deserving of a neat spy namesake)
  • Xander (from Buffy - unfortunately the kid found it too difficult so it was changed)
  • Victor (annoying kid who was bestowed with a soap opera name as punishment - sorry if I'm offending any Victors out there)

So now is possibly my last chance to name a kid! I need all the suggestions I can get! Not to be callous, but the kid isn't all that cute, so it makes it hard for me to name him after someone really cool. Remember anything goes (see my past entry for examples) so be creative, just remember the kid has to be able to pronounce it. Names that have gone through my head have included Kermit, Guido, Batman... I don't know what to do!!!!

So please send in all your ideas asap and spread the word. Winning name gets a free skewer of chicken heads. Or embryos - your choice.

how about, cornnelius... if you get a chance to name another boy, name him cornnelius too, then if you need to call them over to you, you can just say, "get over here cornneli!"i also like how celebrities name their children. gweneth paltrow named her kid apple (WTF?). so in light of that i offer up asperagus.... or Gus for short!okay seriously... i like the jazz musicians names: Miles, Theolonius, Charlie, Duke... or Garfunkel. (sorry that wasnt so serious...)

I once played b-ball with a kid named Dash. I\'ve always loved the name but couldn\'t name a kid of mine that (they would be slow like me most likely and it would be horribly ironic)... sooooDASH!!Also... JanuaryOr... Santos(Do you pity my future children already?)

Nancy said...

Dash is cool...but too odd. Hey DASH? Name the kid Dylan. A little bit of old R&R. MetroG
