Anyway, girlfriend had an ultrasound today as she’s been pregnant. At 16 weeks my child already has a huge schlong much to my girlfriend’s disappointment (it’s going to be our second son, she wants a girl). Anyway, we’re fighting over names, she picks feminine names while I want something masculine the boys can be proud of (first one’s named William after William the Conqueror). I wanted to name this one Roland as in The Song of Roland but she’s really against that.
Anyway, I’m trying to come up with names that he’ll be proud to have later on in life and I wouldn’t mind hearing from some of you guys.
Other names I’m considering are Gunther (though probably not, I’m an Aussie and that’s a pretty weird name down here) or Fredrick. She wants quasi-feminine names like Drew and Darcy.
Any suggestions?[/quote]
This reminded me of when we had an ultrasound before my son was born.
The Doctor asked if we wanted to know the sex and we told him yes.
He said, “Well look right here. Woah, that is one erect penis. Looks like the Statue of Liberty standing up there.”
I didn’t even know that was possible. Plus there has to be some sort of dirty joke in there somewhere.
On topic - My co-worker was going to name his son Brick.

I’m going throught the same shit my second boy is due any day now, We are going to call him Joseph. His older brother’s name is Austin. Pick something that sounds good when said togther, like first name and middle, then the last night. You do not want to be out in the yard at night screaming for your kidd to get in the house, ( Gaylord Focker, Get your ass in the house you lil sumabitch), just doesn’t sound as cool when you think about shouting it to the neighborhood.,

I know 2 little boys named Loop Tyler and Rope Dustin. (Yeah, their mom wants them to be rodeo boys.)

You should call child protective services on your friend for naming those poor kids loop and rope… How dumb.
My suggestions are Zaxxon, Dig-Dug and Joust…

I have to agree with Halfpint on this one. We just went through this two years ago picking a name for our son. We went through hundreds with a lot of different reasons for liking one or not liking the other. A MANLY, (whatever the hell that means) sounding name was never the criteria…But honestly, if you think a NAME is going to make your son a man, you are one very shallow and small minded person.

Kids ARE influenced by the names that they are given.
Give a boy a funny/weird/girlish name and he’ll have a hard time at school.
One of the most important things in life is being confident.
Being made fun of, when you’re not mature enough IS NOT the best way to gain confidence.

Kids ARE influenced by their parents, nature AND nurture comes into play here.
Kids are going to have a hard time in school no matter what their name is. Either their clothes, weight, hair, skin, glasses, ear lobe size, etc…whatever the case may be, kids are going to poke fun at it at some point.
A child’s confidence and self image should come from the upbringing, not their name.

True. But why make it worse for the kid by giving them a name that just smacks of teasing? Elmer, for instance. No offense to any Elmers out there, and the glue works great. But come on.
Unfortunately, my son’s nickname from his little sister is Maxy. She adds a ‘y’ to everything. (Cuppy, socky, etc.) I can only hope no kids in school pick up on that. So, even though he has a strong name, it still can have a cheesy nickname.

That’s true - the big eared kid will get ripped on as well as the red-headed fat kid…
However, if either of them are named Percy, they’re road just got 10 times tougher.
