Rancid's Baby Boy!--Tyler Kekoa

I have no idea how to pronounce Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, and I likely never will. No disrespect for your favourite word, Rufaro, but I think you're right, it might not make a good name. I fear the kids in his class might never know how to pronounce his name, either, and he'd get called something else. Like who-moon-who, or maybe hummer. Not good.

 

Grey (Like from Grey's Anatomy)

humuhumunukunukuapuaa

 

Then of course, there is Rufaro...which is a Shona (Zimbabwean tribe) word that means "sublime happiness and contentment." By the way. And is lots easier to pronounce than humuhumuetc....

 

I like traditional names, not anything to "soap opera-y" or trendy (Dylan fits that category). Family names are cool. If I were naming a boy, it would be one of the following: Eric, David, Hal, Harrison, Winston, Hart, or Layton.

What, no problems with "Jack," then??? Hmmmm????

Signed, Ignatius.

 

Jack's not a bad name. It's better than "Ghost." I would like to add the name Jasper to my previous list.

The problem with "Jack" is it's easy to make fun of...

...as in:

"Jack-o"

"Jack-off"

"Cracker-Jack"

"Quack-Jack"

"IN-THE-BACK-Jack"

that sort of thing... h34r:

 

It doesn't have to be Jack.

It could be Jackson. And the name can never be shortened. I.E. parents always call him Jackson. When being introduced he is introduced as Jackson. He can let his friends know he is Jackson, not Jack.

I know a Valentine who does not go by Val. Everyone who knows him uses his full name: Valentine.

Squid are soft-bodied invertebrates that live in the seas.

So, squid are spineless...no problems there. If the lack of backbone fits...

 

That's a fact, Jack. Didn't think about that.

Make a new plan, Stan.
Don't need to be coy, Roy
Just hop on the bus, Gus.
Don't need to discuss much....

Get rid of your Id, Squid,
and set yourself free.

How 'bout Casper then?

 

Some of the names that made our finalist list when attempting to name our son:

Theo
Hank (short for Henry)
Jonathan
Andrew (my husband has a relative named Andrew Jackson ______)
Paul (not a fave of mine, but hubby liked it and it was his grandfather)

We ended up naming him Owen, which I really love.

Good luck picking a name and I hope the pregnancy is going well!

 

No one suggested the obvious answer.

It is her first born son, thus Prius is a most appropriate name.

You Don't Know Jack

Good one! Hadn't thought of that! "To go before".

Thanks! So far, so good, but even then can't wait for it to be over.

Yes, I very much remember that feeling. I had a June baby (and in Oklahoma where it was already in the 90s in April). I was very ready to be done by about 6-1/2 months

According to my daughter's Latin teacher, while the literal translation is "To go before," the most common meaning in practical use is "First" or "Leader."
