Name My Baby

[Yeti]

Congratulations to Yorkshire~Rose and her newbie--Ava.

I have a son coming along in late July. I want to name him Hank. Surprisingly my wife thinks it is a strong name. Everyone seems to think it is redneckified (my word). I love Hank Sr and also think of Hank Aaron, Hank Stram and Hank Hill.

What do you all think of Hank?
We are also kicking around Quinlin. I also like Atticus but my wife is not down.

I think if we name him Hank he can get Starbucks coffee and people will chant---HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK

Throw some names out and one may stick. Who knows?
I think this is how Tom & Katie came up with Suri. I think Turdbergler recommended it last month.

[sab0tage]

Joshua

[Yeti]

Joshua

Nice. I also like Noah.

[ms.peachy]

Henry was going to be our choice if it had turned out we were having a boy.

[Yeti]

Earl is a good name.
Perfect but I would out an e on the end to add some flare. Earle.

[Yeti]

Henry was going to be our choice if it had turned out we were having a boy.

Yep, we discussed Henry and calling him Hank. I think everyone would think Hank was a derivative of Henry.

[DandyFop]

Quinlin isn't a bad name, I kind of like the name Quinn also. I love Atticus....is there any writer, artist, anything that has inspired you and your wife that would be an interesting homage? I've said this 10,000 times on this board, but I'd like to name a boy, if I have one ever, Woodstock.

I can't imagine coming up with a name for a baby...my siblings and I are all named after other family members, grandparents mostly, so my parents had an easy time with that...I intend on helping to carry on that tradition. I'm gonna have like 10 kids I guess.

[kleptomaniac]

if it's a strong name you want, how about THOR (lb)

or charles, then you could call him chuck

[Yeti]

My wife must not be a To Kill a Mockingbird fan. I have always liked Atticus Finch. She just won't budge. She is carrying the kid so I guess she has a say.

[burbboi]

Osama!

I thought about--Marley, Hendrix, Miles...... and then realized they all shot up heroin. I am a Picasso fan but that might be a burden on the kid.
I want an interesting name but not too strange. He will have to live with it the rest of his life.

[Yeti]

Osama!

Do you think my new state of Texas would be tolerant of Osama? They all drive big trucks and wear cowboy hats up here in the Northwest Texas high plains region.

What about Wiley?

[cookiepuss]

Finn

but I think Hank is fine too.

[DapperDiverge]

LOUIE LOUIE!!:D he'd have his own theme song....sweet!!

What about Wiley?

Good chance he's get jumped or something..I was just messing around :D Wiley is kickin. It's a free-spirit sort of name. How about this...

NATHANIEL

[cookiepuss]

along the lines of Wiley...how about Wyatt? that's a good name for a texan.

[DapperDiverge]

along the lines of Wiley...how about Wyatt? that's a good name for a texan.


what about Wayne like john wayne... now that's all texan!! yeeehaw

[Yeti]

Finn

but I think Hank is fine too.

Irish names are good. I thought of Finnegan, Keegan and Aiden.

[kleptomaniac]

what about Wayne

or Garth :D

[Yeti]

what about Wayne like john wayne... now that's all texan!! yeeehaw

I will never be a true Texan although I do like Hank Sr, Waylan Jennings, Johnny Cash, George Jones and all the other outlaw country musicians.

[cookiepuss]

if my boyfriend and I get married and decide to have a kid and it tuns out to be a boy...I won't be able to name him Finn. because my man's last name is Kinn. Finn Kinn would be pretty cruel. so i just recoment it to everyone else.

but this brings up a valid point you gotta make sure the first name jives with the last name.;)

[DapperDiverge]

Cash would be a cool first name... with a name like that how can you not make money??

[kleptomaniac]

[Waus]

Simon.



Like Simon Belmont. :cool:

[kleptomaniac]

[ericlee]

isnt there a Leif Garrison though?

shit! yeah, there is. Good call.

I would like to name him that being my name is norse and by naming my son Leif would be following viking tradition i.e. Leif Ericsson.


Yarrrrgh!!

[TAL]

if I ever had a son, I always wanted to name him Leif. I've never heard that name for a guy yet.
My cousin is a Leif. Just like many people around this part of the world.

[ericlee]

My cousin is a Leif. Just like many people around this part of the world.

yeah, I would assume being that your part of the world is where it came from it'd be common.

I may have heard it if I traveled in that area but all of my travels have been in mid east to far east.

In the states I never met a guy with that name yet.

Thanks Tal, only Americans were supposed to read that and think I'm one original mofo:D

Ha--I had people call me Oil Can all the time.

[hardnox71]

I thought about--Marley, Hendrix, Miles...... and then realized they all shot up heroin.
Forget about the heroin. Marley and Miles are at the top of my list. I love those names. Not too crazy about Hendrix.


I want an interesting name but not too strange. He will have to live with it the rest of his life.
And don't forget he will also have to go to school with it for many, many years. Give your kid a fucked up name, Yeti, and he will become either a damned good fighter or a real fast runner.


isnt there a Leif Garrison though?
Garrett. Leif Garrett. Washed up 70's teen pop star.

[adam_f]

Adam. That or Raheim.

[beastiegirrl101]

I always like the names Nathan, Jonah and Noah for boys....Biblical names are cool. hi5

girls eh not so much...there arent any really cool girl names IMO

[paul jones]

Colin

[hardnox71]

Colin
I think Kolin sounds better. :D

[Randetica]

steger!

[Knuckles]

Great news! A little sasquatch is on the way!

I like the name Hank quite a bit. (y)

[DIGI]

Jade



Great idea! Let's name him after a shitty movie. Do you want the kid to live in a locker throughout his/her adolescence??




Eugene, dude.

[Yeti]

Great news! A little sasquatch is on the way!

His middle name will be Knuckles.

Hank Knuckles Boyd

[Yeti]

What is happening Hardnox? I like Marley and Miles and they were shot down. She is trying to push Gavin on me now.

Hell, we have 3 months to decide on a name. I'll give him a nickname anyway. I am sure he will have some eccentricity that I can turn into a nickname. Maybe he will collect fireflies and I will call him Bug.

Bug Boyd---------------hmmmmmmm

..forgot Jerry Lee ?

[Freebasser]

Paul Jones

[jennyb]

Paul Jones
:rolleyes: oh my

This was the last thread I kept thinking about before the big black out! So Yeti... you settle on a name yet? I like 'Hank'. I really and truly do. There's something so powerful about that name.

[Yeti]

:rolleyes: oh my

This was the last thread I kept thinking about before the big black out! So Yeti... you settle on a name yet? I like 'Hank'. I really and truly do. There's something so powerful about that name.

We may have settled on a name. Hank was booted only because my wife kept harping on the fact that we have just moved to Texas. Hank from Texas may be a burden on the poor little guy.
We are heavily leaning toward-------------
Quinn Lessley Boyd
Lessley is my middle name and is handed down from a great great great grandfather named John Lessley. It is spelled that way because it was a last name. My father's middle name is Lessley and he would be disappointed if his namesake did not carry on the tradition. I was made fun of because punk kids thought it was girly. I usually punched them in the face and either got my arse kicked or ended it quick. We both have always liked the 1st name Quinn. It is Celtic/Gaelic meaning----wise.
OK, let me have it---what do you all think?

[jennyb]

Ok so disregard my post in your other thread! :o

Quinn is absolutely lovely. C'mon it begins with 'Q'! ...and well, that in and of itself is rad.

[Yeti]

Thanks jennygirl. I will count that as 1 vote of confidence.

[befsquire]

i had posted in this thread, but it was during the whole weird thing and apparently it got lost or whatever.

i like jacob a lot. or even just jake for short. it's a strong, manly name.

[Yeti]

OK, my fellow BBMBers. I think we have it and I want your honest opinion.
My wife loves the name Ian and I like Finnian so-----------

Finnian Lessley Boyd
We will call him Ian and Fin can be a nickname if he chooses.

The boy's name Finnian is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "fair."
The boy's name Ian is pronounced EE-an, EYE-an. It is of Scottish origin. Variant of John (Hebrew) "God is gracious."

Ok, let me have it. It has been hard but I think this one will stick.

[miss soul fire]

Has somebody said "SEVEN"?:D

[jackrock]

Has somebody said "SEVEN"?:D
or "SODA" :D


yeti, i like all the names you have passed on to us. (specially Quinn)

[Yeti]

Yes, Andre and Eryka's baby is Seven.(now teenager)

Honestly, do you like Finnian--Ian?

Brandon Boyd is taken by that singer.

[Yeti]

Fin = (n) kinda gay
:( really?

Is Finnian gay?

[na§tee]

hayyyy! i'm scottish! "scottish" is gaelic, so look at you and your resoundingly celtic name!
okay so you asked for an honest opinion - finnian and boyd i think are beautiful.
lessley not so much. it would be better if it was just the one s. i've never heard of it spelt like that, before.
but it's your baby, kiddo, and it'll be beautiful nonetheless so go with it if you're happy! :cool:

I hate to tell you but we are stuck with Lessley. It is my middle name and is passed down from my father. It is a great great great grandfather's last name. Boyd is from Butte Scotland.

if it's a family name then that's cool. i know plenty girls with men's middle names cos they wanted to keep some clan big-up in the family.
sounds sweet!

[marsdaddy]

What's in a name?

[Yeti]

What do you think Marsdaddy? You have some rugrats.

[marsdaddy]

What do you think Marsdaddy? You have some rugrats.No matter what you name them, someone, somewhere will come up with a nickname you don't like. Eh, just another lesson accepting what I can't control.

I like Finn or Ian better than Finnian. I'm down with the familial names. I like the 4 letter, one-syllable last name.

I posted in here around the big board crash last month something about James Boyd, which I thought was terribly clever.

[xhale]

I just went through all this naming my boy last year, man that was tough. the biggest thing with a name is having it roll off the tongue. the best name is a name that just fits together. I've always disliked my name because it sounds awkward when you say it together with my last name.

now trying to match up with the last name these come to mind:

Steven, Carleton, Christopher, Matthew, Jonathon... those are all pretty standard though.

[Lindsey_1535]

i reallly like quinn and fin.
Fin more me thinks. Gooood names!

[kaiser soze]

TK421

[SobaViolence]

Huckleberry
Thelonius
Emile
Dante
Kieran

all names i'd consider for my boy(s).
good luck, mate.

[Yeti]

Believe it our not Huckleberry was on the list. Huck & Hank.

[zippo]

hope noones said Joshua yet

[SobaViolence]

Believe it our not Huckleberry was on the list. Huck & Hank.

It may just be Ian not Finnian. I don't think my wife will go with it. I really wanted to name him Atticus.
She seems to like Ian.

[jennyb]

Ian is a cool name.

I still like Hank better though.

[Sarky Devotchka]

It may just be Ian not Finnian. I don't think my wife will go with it. I really wanted to name him Atticus.
She seems to like Ian.

I know a baby named Atticus, he is verra cute.

[marsdaddy]

Harper?

[mickill]

Has anyone suggested Stanley yet?

[bigblu89]

Tyler.

Tyler Durden.

Tyler Durden Boyd.

That's money.

That's also my suggestion whenever some asks me for a boy's name.

[Yeti]

OK, less than 2 weeks until the due date.

Quinn Boyd

What is your perception of the name?


We were thinking of Quinlan and calling him Quinn but people seemed really confused about Quinlan.

[beastiegirrl101]

love Quinn...not so loving the Boyd.

[Yeti]

love Quinn...not so loving the Boyd.

I can't change my last name:confused:

I have gone over the middle name several times. People bash it but it is my middle name and has been handed down for generations.

Quinn Lessley Boyd

[jennyb]

Quinn Boyd

I like it! Sounds strong and confident. (y)

I still really like Hank, but oh well.

[ms.peachy]

It's a fine name.

Good luck (y)

[beastiegirrl101]

OOH! I thought that was the middle name, sorry...didn't know it was your last name.

[Justin]

screetch. All the ladies love that name.

[Lex Diamonds]

It depends on your surname to be honest. Francis is quite a good name- Frank, Frankie, etc. Frankie Boyd. That could work.

I'm calling my son Michael.

[Lex Diamonds]

I have a friend called Andy Short who loves Arsenal so much he's going to call his son Dennis Bergkamp Short.

[Rock]

Go with Ian.
or Ewan.
Quinn is good but kind of iffy for me only because its not Quint. Like Quint from Jaws.

You guys seem to really hit the mark. Believe it or not my pops name is Dick.

Dr Dick Lessley Boyd

and Rock, thanks for the help. Lloyd Boyd:eek:

[marsdaddy]

I had one, once. James? Jimmy?

Quinn is a fine name. No need to apologize for the middle name. Tradition is a great thing!

Ben

I am giving your baby a Cheyenne name.

Aenohenehhovohe - Chasing Hawk

[Yeti]

I see Faith has put another baby name thread out there. Sorry but.......

My wife has come up with another name.

Aidan=Gaelic-meaning:fiery

2 years ago it was #1 on the list of US names mainly due to the show Sex and the City.

Quinn or Aidan----which do you like

My wife's due date is 1 week from today. My feeling is that the little boy(d) will be late just to give me a little extra peace and quiet.

[abcdefz]

Quint.

[ms.peachy]

Tell your wife, if she doesn't already know this, that there are three things she must do this week before the baby comes:
- get her legs waxed
- get her hair done
- get a pedicure

I realise to some this may sound frivolous but TRUST ME. There will be no time for any of this for months after. My baby's nearly 3 months now and I STILL can't work out when I'm going to get to deal with my roots.

[beastiegirrl101]

- get her hair done

I thought you cant dye your hair while preggo?

[Rock]

QuinT.

but if not QuinT.

I'd say Aidan.

From what I hear she will get a brazilian wax/shave before she gives birth. I have to witness labor pains, contractions, the baby coming out, the placenta being removed. Oh, I can't wait!

You have a great idea. I will take her on Saturday to get beautified. I may even sit and get a pedicure. I like my feet rubbed---what can I say---I'm a sucker for being treated like a King.

[Yeti]

QuinT.

but if not QuinT.

I'd say Aidan.

Rock, your last response when you suggested Quint stuck in my mind. I brought it up to the wife. Guess her reaction? Laughter and then NO.

I must say that I also like Aidan. The only thing that has me wavering is that it was #1 in baby names in 2004. I would think in the Northern Panhandle of Texas there aren't many Aidans.

I would like to hear from others---just put Aidan or Quinn.

I just want to gauge the BBMB perception of the names.

[venusvenus123]

tell her to get lots of sleep too. that's not easy tho, as i remember it being difficult to get comfortable while carrying a vast watermelon plus 3 gallons of water inside your tummy.

i remember doing the pampering thing in the final weeks. i found a beauty parlour that had a special massage table with a huge hole in the middle, so you could lie on your tummy -- it was worth it just for being able to do that!

if only you could bank sleep. it would be a very useful invention.

I might be a good Pops. I am an insomniac and take great naps.
My wife has been a champ. She never complains and we have recently gone through a cross country move, she started a new job in an executive position and we have been getting the new house organized. This has been in the last 3 months. Crazy.....

She does have trouble sleeping and this weekend I plan on making her sleep and chill out. She is a person that likes activity so I may fail.

[hpdrifter]

I don't like either Aidan or Quinn.

I'm not great with boys' names, though.

I like J names for boys. Joel, Jeremy, Jason. I don't know, those are all pretty boring, I guess.

Sorry, his name will be one of the 2.

I thought of Jeremy and we mulled it over. It was in the running for quite some time. But, alas, Jeremy fell to the wayside.

Does your wife have a thing for Aidan Quinn (http://imdb.com/name/nm0001644/)?

[ms.peachy]

I thought you cant dye your hair while preggo?
You can get your highlights done, since the dye/bleach is not 'on the skin'.

[Yeti]

Does your wife have a thing for Aidan Quinn (http://imdb.com/name/nm0001644/)?

I thought of him when she came up with Aidan. Luckily it will one or the other.
