Kinda like Hans as a name after all this Die Hard talk, to be honest.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

My wife and I are expecting our third child any day now, but we can't decide on a name. She really likes Ellis, but I contend that it is not a first name. We already used the "last name as a first name" thing with our second child (Hendrix Simon; called Henry for short).

Help.

Since you already named one child Hendrix, why don't you name the other Prince, Ellington, Jackson or King. Stay the course. Thousand points of light and all that.

I'd go with Mitchell and Redding.

Wow Hendrix? Really?

Poor kid.

Stick with Ellis and the Die Hard theme. Years from now when you see him give a wrapped gift to his girlfriend, smugly comment, "It's a Rolex."

(Hendrix Simon; called Henry for short).

How is Hen-ry short for Hen-drix?

Both seem to be two syllables.

How about Hanx for short

Then call Henry a nickname. Whatever.

Ellis Valentine

He had a cannon in RF for the Expos

Saw Ellis Valentine play at Fenway when I was kid. His warmup throws were nuts. Such an arm.

 

[netnalp]

It's way better than a few of the recent names some of my friend's relatives have done recently.

Actual given names on the birth certificate, not nicknames, I've heard:

Rio

Rocky

Bruiser

Rocky and Bruiser are brothers, so in that light it makes Rocky less horrible. How will Bruiser ever be taken seriously? Is it a trend to name a baby something that seems more commonly a name for a dog?

 

[skol asylum]

Elvis seems to go with Hendrix.

 

[shadyridr]

Hendrix? Oof

Wheres that thread?

 

[cstu]

Ellis ain't a bad name to be.

 

[Loan Sharks]

Ellis was the name of John Maclains wifes co worker who got executed in Die Hard. "Am I right boobka? Boobie Hans put the gun down this is radio"

Seems like a ok name to me

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

he'll probably be Smellis until high school.

Lorenzo Samuel

You can still call him Ellis (LS).

 

[Thunderlips]

IMO, Hendrix doesn't go well with Ellis. One's going to be cool, one's going to be a nerd. Hendrix and Dylan work. Hendrix and Jax work. Hendrix and Ellis don't.

 

[skol asylum]

You gotta go with Page. You can call them Jimi and Jimmy.

 

[El Floppo]

we've been ahead of the curve on our first two names, so Ellis might make sense after all.

Jayce (#428 when born in 2006; #150 now)

Hendrix (unlisted when born in 2008; #546 now)

Ellis (currently 443)

Dude.

I didn't consider Dude...that's a good, American name too.

I wanted to name our son Duke. Mrs eephus dismissed it as a dog's name.

one of my gbs just named his first kid Duke.

right behind "spot" and "rex" on teh top 10 dog names.

 

[Annyong]

I have a Knox and Wyatt, and I thought they were a little too far out there.

[Mr. Mojo]

If you do go with Ellis, spell it that way. Not Ullas or Eliss or some other asinine variation.

Rex was my nom de plume/guerre when walking in at restaurants. as a guy with a very common name, I knew I'd be the only Rex... until somebody stole my damn table at a trendy soho spot one night.

Ah i see. Caucasian trapped in a yellow body. If Bruce can do it so can you.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

We named him Myles.

 

[El Floppo]

We named him Myles.

Congrats!

on the kid- not the idiotic name ....

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Ellis Valentine

(-5) in rf for Strat-o-Matic

 

[larch]

Myles is better than Ellis, but still an idiotic name like Floppo mentioned.

 

[El Floppo]

Myles is better than Ellis, but still an idiotic name like Floppo mentioned.

I winked.

I think it's a fine name... although the only people I know with it spell it like Miles Davis.

you one of those people who think every guy should be called: John, David, Michael, Chris or Paul? I prefer diversity. I like idiosyncratic names.... especially if they have a link or root to the family. not really a fan of fan of wacko spellings of idiosyncratic names.

No I don't mind different names, just having a last name as a first name doesn't jive IMO.

But hey, to each their own. Hopefully he has a middle name that he can go by that is more normal.

 

[kutta]

I like both Hendrix and Ellis. I actually think Hendrix is a pretty cool name

Miles and Ellis are first names too... not like he named the kid Smith, Jones or Johnson.

I was fighting for Mason most of the way, which is one of the most common first names today. My wife prefers the names be more distinct, though.

No matter what anyone says, I think Hendrix is an awesome name.

How's the baby and wife doing?

my wife wanted to name our son Hewson, after Bono. I don't hate the name (didn't look forward to kids calling him "Hewie"), and I like U2 ok... but no way I was going to explain to people that asked that we named him after ####### Bono. We also looked at some streets in the neighoborhood- Essex, Ludlow, Stanton, Rivington... felt too forced. Went with Tango.
