Rancid's Baby Boy!--Tyler Kekoa

I like Bob. It's easy to spell, forwards or backwards. Just Bob. No middle name.

 

With our boy, we were thinking about the name...

"Gage" - Pronounced like Gauge

However with the last name "Smith", two one syllable names just did not sound right

However, in your case, it may fit well if you have a long or complicated last name.

Also, since we are all fanatical about looking at the MFD (or "gauge"), it would have a lasting meaning for you and for you to remember priuschat!

Mike

 

Well, since Gilbert is a family name and works as both a first or last name, I really think you should use Gilbert.

So how about: Gilbert Wenceslas Kamehameha "Smith"?

I think it has a noble ring without being to pretentious.

(There's also Gilbert Theobald Kamehameha "Smith".)

j/k

Oh come on . . . at least throw us a bone.

You could say, “Our last name rhymes with _______,†or “A name like Samuel or Manuel would clash horribly.â€

- Worst first name I've ever heard . . . Shandahl.
Why so horrible?
The last name was Lehr.

I went to Jennifer Gilbert's bas mitzvah last year! Probably not the same Jennifer Gilbert, though.

The actor Rob Morrow named his daughter Tu.

Other male names:
Ellis
Chase
Jackson

 

I thought of a few more...


Elliott
Aden
Clarke
Page
Porter

 

hmm. how about

James
Thomas
Rob(ert)
Aaron
Ethan

my friend is naming her little guy Trent, which i think is a good strong boy name, and the postdoc in my lab is naming her son John and calling him Jack for short. another good name.

that's all i can think of for the moment.

 

I'm sort of a big fan of James Patrick.

Funny story though. 29 years ago, I briefly considered naming my first born Quentin. My wife said, "No way. Who would name a child Quentin?" So just last night, I'm doing some serious genealogy research on the internet, and guess what her great great grandfather's name was.

 

Found some cute name from this site.... http://www.geocities.com/thetropics/shores...l-petnames.html

Can you name a kid like a pet?
For parents playing favorites:
Ku u Maka- Apple of my eye
Kei - Pride and Glory

give the kid a complex to start with
Polunu- chubby..
Wahu Nui - Tattler
Maka Le'a - Mischievous

Michael Maka Le'a _____________ I think this is just cute!

George Walker Waha Nui____________

William Jefferson Pohaka (Spot) __________

I'll give a hint: it's 2 syllables and is VERY close to Munoz. But no, it's not Munoz. It was originally Portuguese but the spelling got changed somewhere along the lines in Hawaii a few generations ago.

Those 2 are on my 'list'. Max is my car's name, so that would definitely be out.

NO! My picture is in my profile. I'm SO not blonde...good thing there are a TON of Jennifer Gilbert's out there. I've googled my old name and have never found ANYthing relating to me. It's been awhile since I've gone by that name anyhow.

 

can anybody tell my why is Jack short for John?

 

The Oxford English Dictionary says that the actual origin is disputed...But Jack has been used in English from its earliest appearance as a by-name (or nickname) of Johan, or Jan, or John. In fact a whole book has been written on this subject by the man who was the librarian of the legendary Bodley Library at Oxford, a Mr E. W. B. Nicholson, M.A. His book, called The Pedigree of Jack and of various allied names, was published in 1892. In it he makes out a strong case for the actual origination of Jack as a pet-form of John and especially of the recognized diminutive forms of John...In other words, just as Aussies form diminutives by taking the first syllable of a word and adding 'e' or 'o' (as in 'brekkie' or 'arvo') so speakers of Middle English had certain habits when they formed diminutives and those speech habits are what turned John into Jack.

 

Well, that's good to know.

Otherwise you'd end up with Ian Sheehan or Dilbert Gilbert.

Dylan Gilbert Kanaloa "Munoz"

Or

Dylan Gilbert Nanaue "Munoz"

Dylan Gilbert Kamohoalii "Munoz"

(You can still use Wenceslas or Theobald if you like.)

 

Axle?

 

No Gilbert. That's an old man name to me. It's my one grandpa's first name and was my other grandpa's nickname (well, Gil). My side of the family isn't into any tradition of carrying on family names anyhow and I would like the opportunity to use a name that's not already in use by someone in the family, if that makes sense.

In my husband's immediate family there are already 2 Jennifers (yes, one is me ), 2 Crystal/Krystles, 2 Dereks, and 2 Sonnys. All with the same very uncommon last name, save for the one Krystle who has not yet taken it on. This child will have a unique name.

Okay, forget Gilbert.

But I bet you don't have any Wenceslas' or Theobald's in your family.
