ISO: Names to make my MIL cringe.

Marie · Post by **Marie** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:23 pm

AAACK!

You guys, nothing is WRONG with the names I just want ones SHE won't like but that are normal so she'll believe us and leave us alone. Honest.

For the record, she replied that it was a "nice" selection of names that sound a lot like the ones the basketball players on tv have - I'm thinking "basketball player" = ethnic sounding for her?

LB, of course I'm telling you guys!

I listed our top choices in another thread a while ago. For a girl we liked Emily Rose and Emily Anne. For a boy I like Mason Evan, he is ok with Evan Williams but isn't sold on anything yet but he knows he hates Mason.

ok I'm going with Scottish baby names here:

Angus
Argyle
Lennox
Malcolm
Nairne
Ogilvy
Uilleam

Then when she asks where you came up with such a name you can tell her your celebrating Jeff's Scottish heritage.

I dunno about Mason . . . it makes me think the kid will be born wearing a fez and wanting to hang out at lodge meetings

:roflmao

Did you just link to a porn site cause I got a big stop sign and flagged now probably because I clicked it. Great. I'm getting fired now.

Aly, it is just a website for that label of whiskey. Nothing indecent at all.

LJ - I'm cracking up over here. I emailed that to Jeff as further proof that Mason is the better name.

From Edog:

How about Korben Dallas? Of course he would come up with sci fi type names!

Marie, I can't believe your MIL bought De Shaun. Her comment is Priceless!

Otis

I used to call my daughter that before she was born.

Sunrunner · Post by **Sunrunner** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:03 pm

Marie, can you drop the "s" at the end of Williams and just have William? I mean it's not going to be a last name anyway, right?

Here are some:

Aram
Archibald
Averil
Barclay
Beaumont
Bjorn
Dieter
Dorian
Kumar
Jayden
Leif
Montague
Nolan
Royce
Salvatore
Thaddeus
Winston

I've dated all of these:

Napolean
Shino
Wauca
Solo
Askari
Famous

that should shut her up

But LJ, Xander is an AWESOME name!

I'm only half kidding, though as a nickname, not the whole name.

We were talking about alternate boy names (and since at least one of the top two made the lists here, I'm not saying what they are!

) DH decided he likes the name Christopher.

Nice, "normal" name, right?

It is . . . until he let me know that it was so that his kid would be named after Superman.

Marie--

You should just tell your MIL that you were totally in love with the Emily Rose name, so you're going to name your son--

Emil Ross.

Thought you'd like that.

I love the name Emily. Unfortunately, that damn "Exorcism of Emily Rose" movie ruined my ability to use it, because my last name is Rose
