What you really need to do is get really trashed and try to make fun of every name you have on your list.  If you can turn it into an annoying chant.....  then don't name the poor kid that because damn, that's just fucking cruel.

It's all well and fine to come up with "original" names and they sound really cool until your kid is on the playground surrounded by a group of name calling poop flinging monkeys.  And trust, that is what is going to happen no matter where you send them to school. 



There's always the option of making gloves for the kid with broken glass embedded in the knuckles.

my grandpa's name was Edgar, and i'm pushing for Edgar Malcolm (if it's a boy).  my wife has an Agnes and an Adilaide in her family that she's pushing for (if it's a girl), but i don't like either of those names.  Agnes is tolerable, i guess, but Adilaide rhymes too much with Gatorade.

also, Iptuous:  the band Kepone has a song called Henry - it's got one of the prettiest bridges i've ever heard.  just passing it on.

I'll have to check it out.
also, ever since i heard the Dr. Dog song, "Adeline", i've really been fond of the name.  maybe that is more tolerable to you and close enough for the lady...

My grandpa's name was also Edgar. I don't like it enough to use it. Also don't like the name of his grandma: Jersey. My wife was seriously pushing for the name Eleanor before I talked her into Eris.

My grandfather (well, one of them) was named "Marcus".  I keep threatening to insist on it.

So you could call him "Mark II" !!

Quote from: Suu on December 10, 2009, 04:30:00 PMA boy's name I was going to go with was Marcus Aurelius Constantius. No, really. There ain't a kid who would dare make fun of the great Roman emperors.

too easy:

- "LOL your name is M.A.C. did your dad fuck an Apple or something LOL"
- "No! I'm named after a GREAT Roman emperor!"
- "LOL so you're a BIG M.A.C. :lol:"

This is true, and if you melt the milk jugs just right, they have a bit of flexibility in them....

"Giraffe" doesn't have too much negative connotations, does it? But would it be a boy or a girl's name?

And going with currently naming trends, that bully kid would probably be called Elvis or Anakin anyway.
