for those of us that dont have kids, what names you got planned? if i have a girl, imma leave the name up to my gf/wife if i have a boy, imma give him an alpha name that retains dominance and strength. Talon Makow Etherius Yonwonderer Ra-Theseus Crucious Ectoplasmic Phaggot OP Orion "ORION!! Get me my fuking belt!!"
If we had a boy he would be Ethan, if it were a girl she would be named Elizabeth. We broke up and married other people. Her son's name was Ethan, my daughter's name was Elizabeth. And Torx, those names may sound like dominance to you but remember this kid might end up not living in the hood. How about making his made up negro name a middle name instead?
Boys names are either plain or stupid. Girls can get away with cool-sounding names, IMHO. Stupid, excepting the names you listed, of course, especially that Ectoplasmic one, which really hits the alpha mark. (And he better be an alpha cuz if he ain't he's gonna get the livin' shit beat out of him with a name like that) "How about a nice game of 'Steve', Dr. Falken?"
Not sure if serious... Taylor has told me "No hippie names, food names, or Hebrew names" so I'm pretty limited. (there goes Oliver, Sunshine and Rivka...) We both like Kinson and Caleb (for a boy), and I like Isabelle or Gabrielle for a girl. Joke's on him... it's traditional to give a Jewish child a Hebrew name (besides their regular name) for use in temple or ceremonies like bar/bat mitzvah Really hoping for twins. If I have twin girls, I would give them Chaya and Chava, both names meaning "life".
Chaya and Chava i like that. msp, those arent racial names, lol, they sound more egyptian/greek imo. as jzl said, boys names are so generic and boring, esp traditional names. i think a persons name can empower or whither a person through time.
I didn't say traditional African names. It's commonplace in the urban culture for black folks to give their kids far out names. For example, a woman my Mom worked with named her daughter Tequila. It wasn't until later that she realized that was also the name of a alcoholic beverage. Anyway, just saying that in the workforce and non-ghetto world those folks get made fun of a lot. Not saying you should name you kid Edward or whatever, but just remember they're stuck with that shit for a long time. Edward Ghizazoid Torx, that shit he could shorten and still get a decent job.
HAHAHA. How do you not know what Tequila is and then to name your daughter it! OOOOOOOOOY! Most Talons I've taught have been girls and the few that were boys, total pussies. The same pretty much goes for any unique boy name but then again I've been teaching spoiled upper-middle, lower-upper class kids with nannies and moms who spend more time at yoga than with their kids.
Already outlived the kids name game by thirty or so years. my contribution to Torx's thread: [video=youtube;X-hYLL7Gpos]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-hYLL7Gpos[/video]
^^^ Boy Named Sue, exactly what I thought of when I first read this thread. That's urban naming for you. Too many of these fools watched LeVar Burton getting whipped in Roots in the 80s, and after that there was an explosion of baby names as different from "Toby" as humanly possible. And over the years folks have associated these weirdo names with racist, whitey hating, and let's be honest, ignorant people. Anybody that would name a child Tequila is just ignorant. So anyway, that's what I would worry about. It may sound edgy and reflect your interests and personality, but the poor kid would seriously be excluded by people who fear racist black folks. And in your case, wiggers. :mrgreen:
It used to be that kids were named because of the meaning of the name, not just the sound of the name. http://www.name-meanings.com/
Man oh man. My mom used to work as a nurse delivering newborns many years back, at Cook County Hospital. She has told me all kinds of stories about black folks and naming their children. Two that stuck out... 1) 13 year old girl was giving birth to a baby girl. My mom brought the chart in to the room, and the child's mother and her grandmother (who was 26... see a pattern here?) saw the chart hanging on the wall. The mother says "look, they already named the baby! Female (fay-mah-lay), isn't that beautiful? I think I'll keep it". My mother proceeded to leave the room and bang her head on the desk. 2) Extremely hood lady giving birth to a baby boy. She decided for the first name: D'Money ...middle name: D'Millionaire. D'Money D'Millionaire. Awesome. Bet that child will never come close to even seeing a million dollars, because he's never going to be able to get a fucking job. And Torx, if you're serious about any of those names... I'd hate to be your kid. I don't know what I'd name a boy, but I've always liked the name Aurora for a girl. That was until I started seeing the Oldsmobile Auroras on the road. I still like the name, but I'll be damned if I'm going to name a girl after a fucking Oldsmopile.
Nope. I was thinking more along the lines of Sierra Software and we call Lincoln Linc for short (legend of zelda). Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I think whites ought to go back to the greek mythological names. Start naming kids Zeus and names like that........roots, sheesh.
We named our son Joseph Allen, after a lot of thought. Joseph came from hte fact that it is a historical, masculine name. Allen comes from my middle name, which is the same as my father's middle name, and also my great-grandfather's middle name. We also liked the sound of it. As for a girl, we decided our first daughter will be Emily Marie. Emily just because we liked the sound of it. Marie, based upon being another family name from my side of the family (Sister's middle name is Marie, and had an Aunt that passed away that had the same middle name). We need to plan another boy name when we have our next child, but that will come later. Too much going on right now! ~Will Courtier~
We named gave our daughter her name because it's a beautiful name and her last name is Vallee so it's cute as helllllllllll Lily of the Valley are beautiful flowers! Also other girls names; Annabelle Emma or Emily Ivy Belle Boys; Jacob Ciaran (kear-on) Caleb Austin I don't like the idea of us naming our kids anything that sounds like our names because his name is Cory and mine's Courtney and they're pretty similar so if we had a kid with a name that started with a 'C' I'd feel a little silly...but I like those names
