See, I'd kinda like something a little, you know, hippyish.. but.. it just seems a little, um, dated now..

Irish names are just confusing.. but scottish.. maybe.. My paternal grandparents were irish (they were horrible though), but my historic paternal roots are scottish..

Maternal we're talking serious Anglo Saxon routes. And Viking for Krad.. so that opens up interesting possibilities..

Perhaps we should give it the middle name Danger, or the name Bond James Bond (or Bosley John Bosley).

i know someone who's husband gave their son the middle name Danger.
i also know a Wyatt, age 2.
and an Axel, age 1.
and a Jesse James, 6 mos.
redneck town, 'round here.

Met a little kid (and his dad) in the queue for an alan moore signing who's middle name was Wizard..

Wow.. GR.. Yeah, redneck town indeed!!!

yes. boy names are redneck, girl names are made-up fancies or complete classics:
Shaelynn
Emily
Heidi
Kaliia
Kezia
etc...

Walter

A girl i worked with in my previous job was called Lezah.. her mum was Hazel.. (work it out..)

Walter Rayleigh A local connection for me!!

Pah.. those aren't redneck names.

Dale, Clem, Wash, Arn, Ricky, Kenny, Hull, Ike, Kyle, Hunt, Troy, Dwight, Denny, Travis, etc. Anything with two initials put together, especially if the second letter is "J" ..AJ, TJ, BJ, CJ, etc.

Those are redneck names.

You mean, like Torchwood?

Do you have the Braden/Cayden/Jayden complex in the UK?

Anyhow,overheard on the postpartum unit:

Dad: What should we name your little brother?
3-year-old: "Cuddles".

boy: Lucius Warbaby T-
girl: Chevette Prayerhankie T-

My wife went to school with a girl named Chloraseptrica.

So, you know, don't forget to check the medicine cabinet for good names.

Since someone already mentioned Luke/Leia..

Case/Cayce?

To really fuck with people, insist upon the archaic pronunciation with the "L" being silent. "Water".

my dad couldn't believe someone would name a kid "BJ"...
i know an AJ too, short for Anders Jameson.

Dominic, Corby, JJ, Alden... Caleb, Levi, Ezra, Aaron, Abraham... actually, those last 5 have sisters with cool names:
Darci Ann
Penny
Meleah Dawn
Alicia
Bethany Anna Rose
