What do you think of this as a name for a kid?

[JohnKleeb]

Keown :shrug:.
Oh pronounced, Cue-in.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. Pronounced "Cue-in"?

Seems a little pretentious, but oh well.

[JohnKleeb]

4. That sounds right, sorry I suck at that kinda sutff

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. How do you say it?

[HeyManThatsCool]

3. Meown

Hmm


Pronounce it please?

[MercutioATC]

28. Mew-in.

:)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. That kid is going to have to do a lot of explaining .

I should know , I have to explain my name all the time but at least people say its " pretty " .

[JohnKleeb]

7. It will be his great grandmother's maiden name

Hey if Uncle Bill hadn't decided to be a priest, we would have someone to pass down that name but no he had to have a calling, being silly, its all cool that he was a priest.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

31. Its still a cool name .

I like Celtic names .

[JohnKleeb]

36. I do too

[serryjw]

29. I don't know how you feel

BUT after a lifetime of spelling and pronouncing my name I would never do that to a child. Being different is good but give the child a name that at least a few people in the world have.


Serry...........It is "Sherry" w/o the H!

[Rowdyboy]

6. Nice name-sounds vaguely Gaelic or Celtic

[JohnKleeb]

9. It is

Was the maiden name of the recently deceased :(.

[Rowdyboy]

15. In that case, its an excellent choice

Very fitting. Hope things are going well. :hug: I know its a tough time.

[JohnKleeb]

20. Its still sinking in

[XanaDUer]

8. Who is this poor child?

:)

[JohnKleeb]

10. Ask back in 10 years hopefully

[XanaDUer]

11. It sounds Gaelic.

Does that help?

[JohnKleeb]

14. Very good, yeah its Gaelic

[Bluebear]

12. Sounds like an awesome MIDDLE name!

If you worry about it as a first name, honor her by giving it to the kid as a middle name!

[JohnKleeb]

13. I think I am gonna do that instead

[Bluebear]

17. Make sure you don't call him Kenneth or Kelly though

[JohnKleeb]

19. haha KKK

:D very funny wise guy, I am Catholic, we hate the KKK as much as anyone.

[neoteric lefty]

16. ditto on the middle name

not that giving creative first names is a bad thing, but ones with pronunciation problems, I would leave for the middle name. Just my 2 cents.

[JohnKleeb]

18. Thanks I got a easy to pronounce middle name

see your point and agree.

[meisje]

21. Keown Kleeb - poor kid, get him some Karate lessons

[meisje]

23. Don't begin his middle name with a "K", "KKK"=would not be good!

[JohnKleeb]

24. I am not stupid you know

I actually have a better idea.

[meisje]

32. I'm only kidding:)

[NewJeffCT]

50. While I'm sure the middle name won't be a "K"...

Don't be surprised if the child gets that question a lot while growing up...

[tuvor]

22. The litmus test: See what it rhymes with.

And any other wordplay you can think of.

I'd read a story of some parents who wanted to name their baby girl something that couldn't be mocked, and they finally settled on "Amber".

When introduced to her older brother, he said, "Hi, Amberger!"

So be careful!:scared:

[JohnKleeb]

25. I'll see

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

26. And Rob Morrow's daughter is named "Tu"

Is that right? I read that the other day.

I would use "Keown" as a middle name, not as a first name, as it might be too difficult for stupid people to handle. Why not "John" as a first name?

[JohnKleeb]

30. I dont like Juniors honestly

I myeslf am not named after my dad but after my grandfather.

[Lex]

27. Speaking of baby names

you *have* to go to this webpage and read the top, then click on one of the links below it.

Pretty funny about how people obsess over baby names:

[DemBones DemBones]

33. Nice name, but you'd better

get a prom date before you start naming your sons!


:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

35. I know lol, dont remind me!

[DemBones DemBones]

39. Gotta keep reminding you so you don't wait too late.

:7

I like the name Keown, but it will be one the kid will have to spell. But you know what? No matter what you name a kid, somebody will try to make him/ her feel bad about it.

[JohnKleeb]

40. No one's ever made me feel bad for my name perhaps cuz its so damn common

Yeah I know lol, and I do have someone I want to ask but we have to uhhh get rid of the guy lol.

[DemBones DemBones]

42. Oh, you want to steal some other guy's girl? Very ambitious of you!

All's fair in love and war.

[A HERETIC I AM]

34. Change your last name to McGuen and name him Euwin

Euwin Keown McGuen. Sorry i am a nutase

[Kire]

37. are you pregnant Kleeb?

how are you dealing with the stigma in High School

[JohnKleeb]

38. ahhhhhh no, I am just thinking

[Skittles]

41. sucks

nt

[Mark H]

43. I like it.

It may be a bit of a problem when roll is taken in school, but it's got a really nice ring to it for an adult.

[Floogeldy]

44. Flablutigoosmek would be better

I don't think Keown can properly be pronounced Cue-in.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. A lovely Irish name

Any child could be proud of it. There's "Kilmeny of the Orchard," by Lucy Maud Montgomery, another Irish name. I like this much better. And have you seen the names they're giving children, these days? There was one in the local paper, Spyder, a little boy. Poor kid. And my mother mentioned another that she saw, Jaxon. WTF? Your child, boy or girl, would be blessed with such a lovely and thoughtful name.:-)

[DistantWind88]

46. Great name

Sounds strong; and it's different. Sounds like the name of a leader.

[freebird04]

47. Since the freepers won't be able to pronounce it,

the child will probably end up on *'s terrorist watch list

[Donailin]

48. It's nice, it's Irish

[flaminbats]

49. what about merino?

sheer me..I deserve it!
