I'd love to know the origin of the name, "Lancaster." I named my first Son this after the old priest in, "The Exorcist."

We call him, "Lance."

Write down the names of all of the child's aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and old, established family friends.

Pick from this list.

James Daniel

That's a good, easy to spell, classic name. Glad we picked it nearly 20 years ago.

My daddy left home when I was three,
And he didn't leave much to ma and me,
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid,
But the meanest thing that he ever did,
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue.

We wanted something different, so we took a chance and named our son Stephen. All of his pals have random surnames as first names: Cooper, Brady, Tate, Reese, etc., but we just had to be different. I just hope he doesn't come to us one day and say, "why couldn't you have given me a normal first name like, Fergus, Brinson, or Calloway".

That goes for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who named their daughter Shiloh, and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who named their girl Suri.

I've heard the name Shiloh before but not Suri. Either of these names is better than Bruce Willis and Demi Moore naming their kid 'Scout'.

I pray to God that people don't start naming their girls "Keith."

It didn't take my ex and me very long to decide never to name a girl combining the names of my mom, Polly, and his mom, Esther. (Never did have kids, anyhow.)

I think that the Hollywoodies give their children these freakish names, in part, so that their kids can get their SAG Cards in their own names.

I always thought India Wilkes...sounded like a cool name in Gone With The Wind.

Of course, there's always Scarlett O'Hara

some of the random scrabble-tile names I've seen ought to be automatic excuses for parricide.

some tips for the expectant:
1. do NOT ask your harried overworked underpaid OBGYN resident/intern to suggest a name for your kid. BAD idea. Don't do it.
2. do NOT try to make a foreign-sounding name. If you want Swahili, do the research. If you want Islamic, do the research. If you want Froggie, do the research. et cetera. Do the research and find a REAL name you like.
3. do NOT take a traditional western name and nancify it.

If you do any of the above, you are preemptively punishing your kid and increasing the chances little Johnnie or Jane shall wind up an antisocial basket-case.

DON'T DO IT.

There was an annual contest at the engineering firm where I worked years ago for the strangest name in the telephone directory. (people with too much spare time) Alouishis Boudreaux Glockenspiel won for many years in a row. Guess he went on to his greater reward, he's no longer listed in the book. I think he suffered enough.

I like Gabriella, Reiko, Brooke, and Michelle for girls and Kyle, Dan, and Michael for boys.

I knew people who named their daughter Brandy Alexander, after the drink they had when she was conceived.

I do believe we should be a bit more thoughtful when naming our children.

Kids detest odd names, and other kids make fun of them. Can't parents think????

I don't like gender neutral names, period.
