Nobody calls him Oliver.Ollie is what most roll with. I mostly call him by his middle name.We went with the opposite of Oliver: Revilo
Do you ever drop an Oakie Dokie on him?I mostly call him by his middle name.
I share the exact first & middle name with one of your sons. Is that boy also a handsome genius?My kids -Jessica Emily - just liked the name Jessica...Emily was after my wife's grandmotherJacob Michael - just like the name Jacob - Michael is my first nameJoseph Charles - needed a J name and Joseph is the middle name of my grandfather, Charles is the name of my wife's Dad and was the name of my uncleJames Robert - again needed a J name, James has no significance but it went well with Robert...the name of my DadJoshua Curtis - always wanted a Joshua - Curtis was my wife's maiden nameGo with a J name.Jamaal, Jafar and Jordan are all excellent names...
Blanket isn't the kid's real name. I know this because my wife is one of those insane Michael fans. So I told her that I wanted to one up Michael by naming our kid Comforter.She then told me that Michael would never name his kid something ridiculous like Blanket, and that the kid's real name is Prince Michael.This is a good thread.I guess it's been all downhill since Michael Jackson named his kid "Blanket"
Well you're in the wrong thread then...My criteria:* When the name is said is needs to be obvious of what the sex of the child is.* When the name is said there will be no guessing on how the name is spelled. * When the name is said there is no question on what the name is.
Here we go again...Well, just found out that #2 is due sometime in the late spring/early summer.
Thinking about Juniper if it is a girl.

That's generally a good indicator he has a stupid first name.But, our obvious differences in baby name theory aside, congratulations Moops!Nobody calls him Oliver.Ollie is what most roll with. I mostly call him by his middle name.We went with the opposite of Oliver: Revilo
Just caught up on the last page or so. Some of you guys are trying way too hard to be different. Wtf?? Terrible

We just had a Juniper last year. Seems like its getting popular.Well, just found out that #2 is due sometime in the late spring/early summer.Thinking about Juniper if it is a girl.![]()

It's all good. Thanks!No question on the sex based on the nameQuinn

If you're naming your girl Quinn I want nothing to do with you, neither of us knew about female Quinn's until after he was born and we probably would have gone in another direction had we known it was becoming more common. It's like naming your boy Kelly. Stupid.'Ignoratio Elenchi said:'MAC_32 said:No question on the sex based on the nameQuinn![]()
OK, a bit of backstory here.Our parents' first names begin with E / R (males) and J / M (females) respectively. We decided early on in the marriage that (a) we wanted two kids and (b) we were going to give them first and middle names beginning with those four letters to honor the grandparents.#1 was a boy, so we went with the E-R combo. (His first name is Ethan, though in our defense it was before Ethan became insanely popular.)#2 was a girl, so the J-M combo was next and ... umm ... really, have those in the peanut gallery thought about how hard it is to give a girl a decent "J" name these days? Here are the "J" names at the top of the current SSA girls' list:1) Julia (meh)2) Jocelyn :X3) Jasmine ("Now welcoming to the stage...")4) Jade ("wanna go in the back room with me, baby?")5) Jessica (1981 called: they want their popular names back)6) Jordyn (so help me God, I'd have had to kick my own ###)The only name in the top 200 I remotely liked was Juliana ... but, let's face it, by the time she gets to 6th grade it's gonna be "Jules". I dated a "Jules" in high school and I hate "Jules". (The two facts are not necessarily unrelated.)So, I came all that way to say this: if you're looking for a "J" name, go with Juliana instead. For a floral name, please think about Lily. Or even Ivy. Juniper? Really?Well, just found out that #2 is due sometime in the late spring/early summer.Thinking about Juniper if it is a girl.
We like Ivy.Lily is my nieces name.For a floral name, please think about Lily. Or even Ivy. Juniper? Really?
My daughter's name is Soleil.We liked the sound of it, and she is the sunshine of our lives.The initial post was to ask people how they come about getting their kids name.

And seriously?  You're going to rag on a name like Jessica?
 ), and my wife loved it.  I now have a son named Fintan Christopher, and strangely enough other parents seem to really like the name.
 lolI jokingly suggested Fintan for the name of my second son (after a chararcter of mine on WoW), and my wife loved it. I now have a son named Fintan
You have a Maddy, right?Gonna go with the equally popular Jacob or Mason if it's a boy? Or Emma if it's a girl?Congrats GB, right there with youWell, just found out that #2 is due sometime in the late spring/early summer.Thinking about Juniper if it is a girl.![]()
My wife's comment on Juniper: "awful."

  But seriously ... they were generational names. Of my generation. And I'm in my mid-30s. You know what the most common girl's name was in 1950?  Linda. I'm imagining my reaction toward a girl named "Linda", had I met one in high school: "Oh, how cute. Were you named after your mother?"Congrats, Otis.
