Is Blunderbuss taken?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[Vaquero]

Thompson would be good...call him Tommy.

John is so pedestrian....though John for Browning or Thompson, or Garand...

Gene for Stoner
Bill for Ruger
(or how bout Mike for Kalashnickov?)
Oliver for Winchester
Sam for Colt

[Army Air Corps]

“I named the first boy ‘Thirty Cal.’”

[Vaquero]

I do not think I could name a kid....

Eliphalet

for Remington

[mad_as_he$$]

How many of Obama’s sons are neamed “Colt 45”?

[mad_as_he$$]

Besdies, who wants to be named after a typewriter.

Remington is a great name, not necessarily a gun. The name Remington was associated with a sword and knife maker at one time, right?

Colt isn’t necessarily a gun either.

[ßuddaßudd]

I like the name Sig ...

[txrefugee]

A rapper’s baby could be “Fiddy Cal”.

[Army Air Corps]

Now I have that commercial with Bill Dee Williams in my head...

[jaydubya2]

Howitzer?

[rjsimmon]

I considered “Emsixty” but it would have been shortened to “Em” and that didn’t sound appealing...

[SkyDancer]

There was a Remington who did great sculpture’s too.

[Vaquero]

the favorite handgun, in my possession, is a Remington Rand...and of course a typewriter company manufactured this excellent bone stock weapon made in early 1944, plenty of time for D-Day.

[Da Coyote]

Better than naming them “Obama” or “Hillary”.

At least Colt has produced something other than bullsh*t and idiocy.

[KeyLargo]

I’m kind of partial to ‘Bushmaster’, myself.

[KeyLargo]

"I like the name Sig ..."

'Gadsen' is a great name also.

[Freestate316]

I think that’s how many of them were conceived.
