What my parents wanted to originally name me.

Chagen

Dad wanted to name me Archimeades. Mom wanted to name me Thor. It sounds ridiculous, and I had trouble taking them seriously, but they seemed serious. I can't tell if that would have been awesome or horribly stupid.

ClockworkUniverse

I'd take Archimedes over Thor, myself.

MillerCross

My parents wanted to call me Juan Sebastian.

Thank God they didn't.

BecNoir

Dude, your mom wanted to name you Thor?

That is awesome.

┻━┻ ︵ ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻

I'm wondering why they didn't do that.

Chagen

According to my dad, God came to him in a dream and told him to name me my current name.

Remember that my dad also used to do acid in the 70s and 80s.

Waltzy

I asked my parents what they would've named me if I were born a boy.

They would've named me "Robert" or "Bob" for short. ~////~

ClockworkUniverse

My parents apparently named me after a restaurant.

Malkavian

I was named 'Jaroslaw' after my father and his father before him and etc.

If I ever have kids the line stops here. I'd probably be like Chagen's folks.

Athena if it's a girl.

Loki if a boy.

BecNoir

Also, you gave me the mental image of Thor in diapers.

MillerCross

'Jaroslaw'

All Nines

>Jaroslaw

>Someone's actual name

Lucky bastard.

Well, unlike some people here, I can't exactly complain about my name, as it's relatively normal.

Waltzy

My name's normal too. Daddy was writing a book but he never finished it so he named me after the main character so I'd finish my own story myself. n//////n

MillerCross

Awwww, that's adorable.

Made me go d'aww in real life. And get a weird look from my dad. Still worth it, though.

ClockworkUniverse

Awww...

Malkavian

^^^That's wonderful.

^^^^It was hell having it in high school, but as you get older you begin to appreciate super unique names.

Another potential name for a son: Gawain.

All Nines

Is it bad that, in the event that I have a kid, I've considered naming him (assuming it's a boy) Helmholtz?

MillerCross

My kid would be named Juan Carlos. Because that's a cool name. Fuggen deal with it.

Well, it''s because of that and because I'm incredibly uncreative.

Vorpy

My name was GOING to be Faethena, because my dad and mom combined Faye + Athena because they couldn't decide between one or the other, so they mixed the both of them together, but after he ditched my mother a couple months before I was born, my mother gave me a different name instead.

Waltzy

~daddy's girl lol~

For a girl I really like the name Eve. It's cute and symmetric and you could nickname her Eevee which is also symmetric + the name of a cute Pokemon.

For boys, I know there's a few buried in my brain, but Ethan is a nice one~.

Malkavian

Eve's a nice name, but if you're going with biblical names with unfortunate connotations I prefer Lillith or Delilah.

vacasama

The word, "Eureka", takes on a whole new meaning if his dad got to name him.

All Nines

Hmm . . . Eve Everest? Ethan Everest? Eureka Everest? All solid in my opinion. Thanks, guys.

>implying I'm ever gonna have a child

Vorpy

Aria is a nice name.

Malkavian

I wonder if any girl's ever been named Symphony. It sounds like it could be a nice name.

CommandoDude

My parents didn't know if I was going to be a boy or a girl.

They picked "Amanda" for my girl name.

I have no idea which is worse, that or 'Matt.' Fucking hate my name, caus EVERYONE has it.

So stfu Chagen, you could've had a really epic name and never had to deal with people calling your name and say "Oh, I meant the other one"

Malkavian

Amanda and Matt are the two most common names in the country.

It's why I lurve my name so much now. I've never met another Jaroslaw IRL.

You could always rename yourself Ali Baba or something.

Vorpy

Virunas
Kasha
Katsumi
Ashimnu
Marisol
Lameniatte
Tyrania
Lime

Counterclock

@ Malk, There's a more common name, and I have it >_>

Malkavian

Then rename yourself Ali Baba

MillerCross

Carla?

Alexa?

Clockles?
