Poll question: What should I name my next kid?
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 12:35 AM by Screaming Lord Byron
I have some pretty cool names picked out, but am having serious trouble deciding. Here we go.

6. Moon Unit? Dweezil?
How about, Hey you? Or, as portrayed on "Have Gun Will Travel," Heyboy or Heygirl?

7. How about 'Heyboyheygirl superstar dj's here we go'?
Or is that maybe a little too formal? We could shorten it to 'Hey!'

8. Well, it's a threeway tie between:

2, 3, and 6... ;-)

Or you could also consider 2Q4B as a middle name. :D

10. I changed Weng-Chiang. People might just think I was being racist
Anyway, as Magnus Greel is (sort-of) Weng-Chiang, he's still there.
The more I think about it, the more I like Drax, or Meglos as a name. Davros is a good choice, don't you think? Or a little too ethnic?

25. Perfect name for a child "Scuseme"
What's your name?

Scuseme.

Excuse me, what's your name?

Also good for apologies, getting in the front of the line, the possibilities are endless.

31. Damnit! Now why didn't I think of that!
Preston might be more like it, or maybe Mulroney? Does that work as a first name? For a girl, how about Dar? (or maybe not!)

33. Yes. Or Morgoth Bauglir, Black Enemy of the World.
Or is that a little too traditional?

35. Trogdor, the Burninator!
TROGDOR! TROGDOR!
Trogdor was a man....
I mean, he was a dragon-man....uh....and then he was just a dragon!....
um.... but he was still TROGDOR! TROGDOR!
Burninating the country-side, burninating the peasants, burninating all the people in their thatched-roof cottages!
THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!
And the Trogdor comes in the NIGGGGHHHHHHHH!

37. I was leaning towards Thorfinn Hammerhand, but
Zaphod, Mordred and Kid B seem popular. But would they get picked on at school? No one's gonna beat on Thorfinn Hammerhand.

40. A personal question....
I've heard of people naming children based on a certain location, that is the geographical location of conception...there's an idea...

48. Zaphod is my choice too, but
that's probably what half the class will be named (like when every kid seemed to be Jason or Heather) so I vote for Dammit Jim, which will insure your child will become a doctor. Congrats on the next event!

50. Yeah, that's the problem with traditional names, all the kids have 'em.
I've narrowed it down to Comrade or Il Duce.

45. Sterling Heyden
Or perhaps, "Johnny Guitar" as in:

"Johnny Guitar?"

'That's my name, you wanna try and change it?'

Or maybe just plain old "Mad Dog Vachon Lord Byron."

Only Johnny Guitar could be considered male only...I think.
