Choosing a name for your child?

forgive me if someone has already linked to this...

 

...And you'll end up with a kid named Doodlebop.

 

Or if Big Daddy is any reference at all, you're kid will be named Frankenstein.

 

I tend to like foeign names. I knew a father and son from Augusta, GA named Hans. I like Jan if it is pronounced "Yahn", but I hate Jan (pronounced "Jan") as a guy's name. Hans or Lars are probably my faves. As far as girls, Holly, Molly, Brittney, Katie.

 

But you don't like Polly, Dolly, or Lolly.

I like Ivan if it's pronounced ee-VAHN, but not EYE-vn.

 

You a big fan of Yvonne? or Yvette? or Eve?

And, what's wrong with Jan Michael Vincent?

 

Did you see Airwolf?

 

I lived AirWolf.

That show rocked. Way better than Hasselhoff.

 

one of my fave names of all time:

Yvon Cournoyer

Jan Michael Vincent, not so much. now, Giovanni Michel di Vincenzo, that's a name.

 

if you have a two syllable last name, accent on the first syllable, and you want a two syllable middle name, accent of the first syllable, don't name your kid Desmond, unless you intend to go with Dez. it will turn out to be a ridiculous sing-song name.

now the very bestest combos are three syllable first names and two syllable last names, with first syllable accents.

Madison Hunter. Jennifer Williams. Parallel Parking.

 

Desmond was one we considered. Never got far enough with us to consider middle names. Damian and similar names have been out since The Omen was released.

 

I ve been thinking and I ve decided that ("Spaceball") Ric O'Shea Lozada is the best possible name for a male child.

And dig the lyrics:

I'm just a man
I understand the wind
And all the things
That make the children cry

With my Les Paul
I know I'm small
But I enjoy living
Anyway

Book after book
I get hooked
Everytime the writer
Talks to me like a friend

What can I do
We just live in a zoo
All I do is play
The spaceball ricochet

Deep in my heart
Three¹s a house
That can hold
Almost all of you

I brought a car
It was old but kind
I gave it my mind
And it disappeared

I love a girl
She is a changeless angel
She's a city it's a pity
That I'm like me

I said how can I lay
When all I do is play
The spaceball ricochet

 

Desmond: Tutu? Damian sounds like a future NBA player. Hey...nice and successful, no?

 

Or "The Omen".

 

Polly, Dolly and Lolly sounds like some act on the Lawrence Welk show. So.....no.

Ivan I like in the American pronunciation, but not the other, like Ivan Lendl.
