I plan to adopt a black child and name him Whitey.

What's this about? I've never advocated drugging anyone against their will. All I am saying is that if the mother of your child is already drugged (preferably by a doctor and during childbirth) then you get to fill out the birth certificate by yourself without her knowledge and/or consent so you can then name your kid anything you please.

@Viv This is probably a stupid question, so forgive me, but if your real name is Heather, why did you choose Vivien (also a real name) as your online alias?

Would you rather that she had called herself HighLadyHeather??

Then she'd be known as HLH.

@frogus:
Tell her that no child is born with a name; they get them later. And tell her (assuming that she ends up bearing one of your children) that you're going to plan a Caesarean in advance so she will be on drugs when the doctor asks one of the parents to fill out the birth certificate and you'll be the only one "competent" enough to do it . . . Muwhahahahahahaha!

@Nippy:
Not a chance.

Ooooo, Bad, bad bad bad, this happened to me...

I have thought of a name for a son, assuming I have one. Magnus.

I think many people choose names not because they like them or because they want their kids have their own unique name, but rather because his father was named that or it's in honour of her great-aunt Matilda. That kind of thing makes me sick. Why can't your kid be his own person instead of starting life with his grandfather's name?

I have to agree, this happened to me with both my first name (which I sort of like, as the uncle I was named after is one of my preferred relatives, and it gives me a link to the Scottish clan I'm descended from) and my middle name (which came about because of a family tradition, which I hate, and which I am probably going to remove one day).

There was no smiley.

Aside from the one HLD posted in the that arty thread you did a while back.
I got to hug Minerva in that thread, no repercussions.

Wouldn't giving birth without anaesthetic be somewhat painful?
HighLadyHeather could also work, but I like Viv for some reason.
Though Heather is a good name in it's own right.

As in that's how you were named, or it happened to you during childbirth?

Sorry you feel that way...

...since I was named after my father as I named my son in honor of him.

However, as a child growing up without "a name I could call my own," I never had any problems carrying my father's name. In fact, I've always felt it was my name too as much as it was Dad's.

My father and I studied in the same university and both of us also belong to the same college fraternity. Never at any moment did I lose my own identity nor was there any pressure in coming up to everyone's expectations just because I am my father's son.

Belonging to the same frat (my Dad was batch'64 and I was batch'90), it's quite funny that during our fellowships some of our brods would come up to Dad and say "so, you're the father of Carli..."

...well, now they just call me "Dos" (that's two in Spanish) to avoid confusion.

What I'm trying to say here is that it also depends on how the parents would raise kids in order for them to have their own identity regardless of whom they were named after. I do understand however the point of your argument.

I guess I'm just darn lucky to have the kind of parents who have inculcated in me certain values that would make me confident of who I am and what I turn out to be. Dad's an "engineer"/geologist whereas I'm a teacher. There was no pressure whatsoever to be just like him nor even strive to be exactly just like him.

Funny, because I DO want to accomplish at least half what he has done without having him to make a direct effort to do so (not like, he really wants to anyway.).

Yeah, you could say that I idolize my father (faults and all) that I happily and voluntarily named my son after him. But I'll do the same things the way my father raised me and apply it to my son.

Trey just can be himself and perhaps one day, when people hear about my name, they would ask me if I HAPPEN TO BE the father of my son.

Was it Perseverance or Endurance or something like that? I don't remember, but I agree that those names are not good...

Endeavour.



Erm...my...Mum watches it. Yes that's right, I'm forced into it. Not my fault.

My Dad says that I was almost called Ezekiel or Zechariah. Match that with my surname and you have a true horror to behold

My kids? I really don't know, I like a lot of names, it's all down to names that we could both agree on...

Yaay!...let's here it for the old testament! Woohoo! Let's here it for the letter 'z'!

I think Zepheniah would have gone quite nicely Or Sarevok for that matter ...

Anyway...I know a kid called Lucifer

Zephaniah? I think you miss the evil repercussions of my being able to be nicknamed "Zeke Szurk" or "Zech Szurk". "Zeph Szurk" just doesn't have the same ring to it And much as I'd have loved to be called Sarevok, Bioware were 14 years too late

Lucifer, eh? I bet he catches hell for having a name like that
