[SoothingDave]

Tristan? Really?

Sounds too much like a cold remedy for my taste.

SD

[rahbert]

Theres Rufus, Wilson, Desmond, or Snafu for those who want different...

[angcat]

I should talk, my mom named me after a sunken Italian ship.

[Hatteras]

I'm in my mid forties and I grew up with two guys named Shannon. They were born in '59 and '61.

[blau993]

You may want to add "pharmaceuticals" to your list.

[sully777]

CADENCE/AIDAN/AIDEN/ADEN/CADEN/KADEN/BRADEN/BRAYDEN/BRAEDEN/JADEN/JAYDEN

---

Definite sign of the end times.

[linda_22003]

"Also, I had not expected Tristan."

Especially without a corresponding "Isolde" on the girls' list.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Andrea?

[LongElegantLegs]

I don't care if they become popular a few years after I use them; That makes me a visionary trendsetter. :-)
I just don't want them to be one of twenty 'Gavins' of the same age.

[the OlLine Rebel]

-Also, "body parts"...

[angcat]

The whole nine yards!

Andrea Doria!

[elc]

Ha ha, that's a fun game. Sit down with your spouse and figure out what your kid's names would have been if you named them after the place of conception!

Oh no, I'd be Alligator Point.
No idea what dear daugther would be - depends on which day she was actually conceived.

[RepoGirl]

Just trailed by Lee, of course.

[the OlLine Rebel]

My mother LOVED that ship.

She loves telling about the gold designs inside the toilet bowls.

[Mr. Blonde]

I'm reminded of Ali G. talking to Victoria and David Beckham who said they named their kid Brooklyn because that is where she was conceived. Ali G said that if his girlfriend and him had done that his kid would be called Langley Villiage for short. The full name would be the bathroom in the KFC in Langley Villiage.

[linda_22003]

Unless the first name is the classic, "Heywood". :)

[elc]

D'oh. Br, not b between the <>. Always, always preview...

[xsmommy]

i love the old fashioned ones!

[angcat]

LOL

[Doohickey]

No, I have to plead stupidity. Both my wife and I have perfectly normal, run-of-the-mill names (though you'd be surprised how many people can't spell "Michael").

It actually didn't hit me until she started Kindergarten, and by then it was too late. She came home from school one afternoon and asked me about it. I explained it to her, apologized, and offered to change it to the correct spelling which she declined.
