What would you name your children?

[Nargleblarg]

If I have a boy I will name him Charles. And a girl Julia.

 

[Anezay]

Some ideas:

24601
My own name
/b/ dubs decides
Garrus
Parasite
Oops
Heavy (last name is Waits)
Open dictionary, point to random word
Mufasa
Brat
"child"
And don't laugh, but I always liked the name Crystal.

 

[Terminate421]

My first son will be named Grif

Then I will continue with either:

Isaac
Gunnar
Bryce

 

[Rylot]

Nathaniel and Superfly

Actually I'm not really sure. I've got a cousin with the middle name of Isset (Spelling?) and kinda like that. Derek I think is a good boys name.

I'd preferably not let them be named by a drunk aunt after they were born like I was. My name is Christopher [something equally as common] Taylor and I'm pretty sure I was named by a drunk aunt after she'd seen Platoon (Charlie Sheen's character has that name and the movie came out the same year I was born) So thanks Mom and Dad!

 

[JayElleBee]

With any luck, my kids will come pre-named.

I quite like the name Imogen though.

 

[RicoGrey]

As all things in my life, I did a retarded amount of research into naming kids. So my first son ended up with Blake. My research showed that a good name would be different from most other names, but not so different as to alienate them.

My second son is named Brock, it fits a similiar bill as Blake, but mostly I named him after Brock Sampson of Venture Bros. fame. Love that guy.

Fun fact, I almost named my first son Archer, this was before the TV show of the same name. So if I had named him Archer, both of my sons would be named after cartoon spies who slept with a lot of women.

Another fun fact, I had three dogs(before my first son became allergic to them), and their names were Bubby, Britany, and Brandy. Notice a pattern?

And yes, I often call my sons Block and Brake.

 

[Reaper195]

A daughter would be called either Elizabeth or Sophie. A son, I'd call Daniel in honour of one of my best friends who died when I was in school. Best guy I ever knew.

 

[Jak2364]

Sons:
Jack
John


Daughters:
Ophelia
Teresa
Claire
Meryl
Rose

Is it bad that I got most of those from video game and anime characters?

 

[Starik20X6]

Because my name is Tarik, an extremely rare name where I'm from, I'm more or less obligated to give any children I have unusual names. I'm always worried when things like this come up because I don't want people stealing the names I've picked (I'm paranoid like that).

 

[Kapri]

Link if it's a boy and Samus if it's a girl. Not even joking.

 

[TheTJackson]

Malcolm or Luke for boys and Anna or Anna Lee for girls. Then again we'll see what my partner has to say

 

[malestrithe]

1,2,3 etc etc

Just give them a number, remove all humanity from them.

That's my man. I'd give them IDs. Male/Female-year-month-day - makes categorising them easier. "Come over here, M20200617"

Nah too much work. I'm going to use Tv Tropes for mine. Hit the random trope button, open up the western animation sub tab, then select the first appropriate name I see.

If my son was born this minute, his name would be Lawrence, Daughter's name would be Jem.

 

[scorptatious]

If I have a son his first name will be John (Like myself, my father, and my grandfather though me and my dad both went by our middle names.)

"A whole clan of Johnnys."

Cookie for the reference.

OT: Can't say I've really thought of it before. Having kids isn't exactly on my list of priorities. That being said, I like the idea of naming my firstborn son Vivi.

Mono-zygotic twins? Better include the time of birth down to the second, just in case such a situation happens.

1,2,3 etc etc

Sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Kind of surprised I haven't heard of any yet honestly (especially among those TV families with blank-teen kids).

To answer the OP, I've thought of 2 per gender and my GF thought of 1 per gender. For me they're;

Vincent, Jack, Sabrina and, Emily

Names that she's thought up;

Edgar and, Victoria.

 

[The Pinray]

Kaidan for a guy and Hazel for a girl. My lady and I spoke at length about it and that's what we've agreed to.

 

[brubobaggins]

I'd call them poopfeast420, regardless of gender.

 

[Firstmark_Bannor]

My first son would be named Virgil Liam Kelly.
My first daughter would be named Molly Guinevere Kelly.
My second son would be named Sean Riley Kelly.
My second daughter would be named Leona Clair Kelly.

I've put a good deal thought into these names. They are uncommon enough that my children can take pride in them and,as names go, they fit together well.

Unlike my sister who is going to name her soon to be born baby girl Dakota Sue Carpenter. I could rage about that name for hours but that's not what this thread is about. I've already told her I will never call that child by its given name. I will make up a nickname and stick with it forever.
