  • Mmm~ BlackJack I think. Seems like a pretty good name for a kid.
  • Thor's middle name is going to be Ragnvald, after my great-great-uncle of the same name. Good ol' Ragnvald Eriksen Floistad.

    It's pronounced "rahngvahld," for the curious.
  • As someone actively trying to conceive a child right now (god I can't believe I'm saying that, does anyone on this forum actually have kids??), we're leaning towards "Sarah" if it's a girl, and no ideas for a boy. Looking forward to going through the first three pages of this thread for hilarious suggestions.

    I think the closest thing we've got to someone with kids is either My little brother and I or the macrosses and their dogs.

    Oh, wait, I forgot about Thaed. I think he's got kids.

    Don't forget Steve. He's got a few kids, iirc. Also Timo, too and I'm sure a few others that aren't as frequent posters to the FRCF.
  • Luxury Yacht, but pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.
  • I plan on having twins and naming them Jaina and Jacen.
  • I would like to reiterate my intent to name my first son Magnus Harkonnen Blitzkrieg, Destroyer of Foes and Pleasurer of Women.

    Or, failing that, have 4 sons and name them Raoh, Kaioh, Toki, and Kenshiro.

    I approve of this highly.
  • If I have kids (which is a longshot), I'd want one girl named Alexandra.

    Or Blarfingar Blarfingar, spelled Lee Smith.
  • If I ever have a child, I'd call that it A Huge Mistake.

    I'm gonna name my kid Large Hadron Collider.
    I did name my kid after a (largish) scientific experimental apparatus.

    Let's hope that if you do have a kid, (s)he doesn't ever find this post.

    Or maybe that they do. Any child of mine would know that I always do my best to correct my mistakes.
  • Is it too soon to name a child Diana?

    Nope. In fact, Right After Princess Diana's death, the number of people in the UK and Australia named Diana jumped significantly. Just like after twilight became super popular, the most popular female name has been Isabella.

    It was number eight in 2004, then in 2005 when Twilight was released, it goes up one place, then 2006 it jumps two places to fourth most popular, then 2007 and 2008, it stays steady at second most popular, until 2009, at which point it hits the number one spot - with the Twilight movie being released in November of 2008, of course.

  • It seems the peak popularity of the name Luke doesn't coincide with Star Wars original trilogy, but peaks at the turn of the century, then drops off. Here is my hypothesis:

    Those who grew up loving the original trilogy always liked the name, and at around 2000 they were having kids themselves. If they named their son Han or Chewie the Star Wars reference would be too blatant, but Luke was far more subtle. Then after the prequel movies came out, it spoiled the new parents' view of the entire franchise, so they avoided Luke from then on. Now the popularity of the name is dropping.

    Ah, I almost forgot - I pulled my information from here.

    I know, correlation doesn't always imply causation, but it seems a decent hypothesis.
  • There is a fun chapter in Freakonomics which talks about baby names, their popularity, and the way that over time boys names become girls names, but almost never the other way round.

    Weirdly, Jacob has been the most popular male baby name for apparently eleven years running.

    Yea I enjoyed that names the Upper class use eventually start being used by the lower class which then causes the upper class to start picking new names and the cycle continues..
