A Poll for my sons name who is due in Dec.

[IPD]

Ajax? Like the cleaning stuff? I think i'd be pissed if my parents named me after toilet bowl cleaner..

Ajax (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

naming your kid something that only intellectuals will appreciate is an easy way to separate the wheat from the chaff.

p.s.

fwiw, i would NEVER name my kid on the basis of trying to give them the easiest possible route through life. familiar with "freakonomics"? yeah. f**k common baby names. the only way i'd ever name my kid something common would be if i decided to name my firstborn SON "sue".

Which is why you can legally change your name. I'm sorry, but a kid name Perseus is probably going to get his ass kicked on a daily basis. When I hear the name Dante, I think of a giant football player... don't know why either. Although I did want to go read The Divine Comedy.

Honestly Thadd, most of the name you listed are something I would name a dog or cat, not my child. Shit, I hate my name, I wasn't even born in April.

While I wouldn't want a "common" name, I also wouldn't want an "out there" name that my parents stole from Greek mythology either.

then it would appear that the people with "common" names are all saying " don't do it, it'll scar them for life." meanwhile, the people with the unusual names are yelling "go for it!"

again, i don't give 2-shits to the people who are worried about how immature people will react to a child's name; and i'd teach my kid not to care either.

p.s.
hammourabi is another nice name. and people can legitimately call him "hammer" for short.

This would be a good name if you hate this kid.


It's like the rule, Never name your daughter Anita in fear she might marry a Cox.

wow a lot more input than I thought. Trust me everything anyone has said about other kids, pronunciation and what not has been taken into consideration which is why I figured this would be a fun poll. The two names we realistically were thinking of were Logan and Dante. Why? because what can you add to those names to make fun of them? I guess if you think of wolverine then yeah but thats not what comes to mind when I say Logan. Also my username Vince is an alias I have rode with for many years on every web site since I played Final Fantasy VII. Came from Vincent Valentine (He was a badass) I used it for one thing... then another... and it just stuck so i figured wth easy to remember. My real name is Paul... common I know but I was a Jr and my dad is awesome so I was cool with it.

First child, Yes. And we both wish to make him the only child, who gets all the attention and spoils of any success we have. My primary lesson to him will be "Pillage First... Then Burn" Haha not really im Jk but I will ensure he will take no crap from anyone by teaching him most of the techniques I have learned through training. The most important being restraint and only to defend oneself or others. I got bullied once in middle school... that was the last time it happened too.

Back on topic! The wife suggested first name Logan middle name Perseus. I still havnt made up my mind yet as there are a shit ton of names out there. My favorite being Yoda haha... no seriously I Like Dante, sounds tough, nothing really bad that name can flirt with when it comes to bullying, there is some neat background story to the name and its not as common as most. Logan, sounds like an approachable name, but everyone will revert to calling him wolverine (not that I would mind being nicknamed a badass xmen character). Its also easy to spell and pronounce. Only thing I am worried about is the name Dante does descend from obstinence and I dont need none of that. I guess names really shouldnt matter its partly how the kids raised and mostly how he wants to be.

Well I must exit this comfortable chair and make my way to the bedroom for some sleep, I leave you gents in peace.

So the wife is due in Dec which he will be Our first and hopefully only child haha. We are having a tough time deciding on names. I will have 4 in the poll for fun to see what everyone else likes. Of course other ideas are welcome we are just looking for something out of the ordinary, and has a good meaning behind it if possible.

Thank you all for voting and taking the time to read this.

Last name?
