:X Thats a gross name...Griffin? Thats sad. Poor kid.Samuel wouldnt be bad, nickname Sam, but Griffin?I havent read this thread at all but this last page, but what is the deal with making kid's first name with a last name? I friggen hate that.
My buddy's youngest brother is named Griffin, and yes, Griff is a nickname that some use. I think it works...then again, we named our son Hamilton so you may not like my opinion. More importantly though, I think you two should agree on this completely so keep at it.
griffin gets a yech
Does naming your kid Hamilton make it more or less likely he'll be an obese kid? I'd think less because I would really watch his food intake so he's doesn't end up as the overweight teenage sniper named Ham. You are testing destiny though.
This is possbily your only son - the boy who will grow into a man and carry your name on. If you don't like the name then you can't bend.Most times I'll conceed that the wife ultimately gets what she wants, and the man only gets what he wants when the wife doesn't care all that much. But naming a child is one time when you have to stick to your guns... ESPECIALLY when it comes to naming a son.If you like Griffin then that's fine... but if you don't like the name do NOT cave in to your wife. Work it out until you both come up with a name that you can agree on.If I had caved my son would be named Brady!

yeah, my first thought when I hear the length and weight is "well, at least they got their bait back."What do you care how much a parent weighs anyway?TannerBoyle said:Once a week they print a list of births. Parents names, weight, length etc. It's always a good read.Where in the paper do you find these....
Maybe you should take your nephew aside and toughen him up a little. So, instead of hating his given name, he can just beat the crap outta anyone who makes fun of his name.
Giggity giggity!Pick a different word from your post like "Monday" or "Caesar" (Cesarean)dnurk said:
In the South, it's kind of normal to see a child named after the grandmother's maiden name. I knew girls with first names like McNair, Dowling, etc. It's kinda ####ed up.
'Sup, Griffdog?Hey, my last name is Griffin!!dnurk said:I wonder if we are related?Seriously, people call me Griff, Griffdog, G, and 'chuckles' (gdb high school nicknames that stick
)Personally, I think it's a dumb to use a last name as a first name unless it's like James or Scott.YMMV
If the kid's name is Gared, there will be that one old teacher that mispronounces it "Gay-Red". Schoolkid hinjinx and lifetime guarenteed nickname ensue.
My friends have a kid named McKenna. I kind of like it.TannerBoyle said:
One of my sons friends is named Mackenzie Graham. Their school registers are always written Surname, Given name...the prinicpal has stumbled on which way to call out Mackenzies name a dozen times at assemblies. I always pity the kid. If your last name sounds like a first name, please don't give your kid a first name that sounds like a last name.TannerBoyle said:
Ollie?
One of my son's is named Hunter. His older brother (who was 3.5 at the time) chose it and we love it. I met a guy whose son's were Hunter, Trapper, and Fisher.

They were saving that for a daughter.No Fishmonger?Invisible Sky Wizard said:
If you did not immediately let him go after seeing that name you sir have no compassion for the unfortunate.
I've seen someone working a fast food place with a name tag reading Abracadabra.Kavindra was also on duty with him.
that's what this thread is about. people actually do name their kids with some "cool" names like "Hunter Killer". it's messed up.
Hell, that's nothing. I have 6 friends in Dallas named Grassynole.ok, that's BS.or go ask Nigel, he's got like 30 friends named Rotunda.And I care because why?Sure you can google up and find enough references or come down to Dallas sometime. Let me know.Not that it matters at all, but if you can provide any evidence of more than 3 or 4 people being named rotunda in 1964 or 1965, I'll happily concede your point (though technically, the name still wouldn't be "popular.") Till then, I maintain my original post that your are full of ####.Again, the name was given to enough kids during that period that it brought attention to it. I didn't make it up but thanks for thinking that I did. The names you mentioned I have never heard of but I have heard and know more than one Rotunda.
I don't have 6 friends.
My girlfriend's middle name is her paternal grandmother's maiden name: CannonShe has a normal first name though.
Smoo is fighting the good fight.Do not ever question him again. TIA.TannerBoyle said:

actually Caden is a very popular boys name. In fact the top 4 last year all ended with aden. HadenI think the name you heard was Hayden.....that's one of the "now" names for boys.
We have a boy coming in a couple of months & I wanted Henry. The wife said no.
She wanted to name him Brock. I have her talked down to Dylan which I'm still not happy about.
I wanted Henry. The wife said no.
Brock is a great ####in' name! 
Boy's names are tough. My wife wanted to name our son Flynn or Fin I vetoed both. I wanted to name him Tank she vetoed that. We eventually settled on ColeWe have a boy coming in a couple of months & I wanted Henry. The wife said no.I have her talked down to Dylan which I'm still not happy about.
Are you a pron star?No offense buddy.I wanted Henry. The wife said no.She wanted to name him Brock.
