Orange County names

[AngelsLongBall]

My buddy rips me for naming my son Connor. Says he should have had a boss name like Frank or Steve. Do I need to go light myself on fire and think about the choices I've made?

[Tank]

I knew a kayla.  she was from victorville

I'm teaching one this year. Nice kid. I think her dad is an old school rock fan from the 70s. Looks like he went to his fair share of deep purple and Rolling Stones concerts.

And yes, Nate - the stones still suck.

A few boys names from my daughter's elementary school:

Cannon

Axel

Preston

Miller (actually like this one)

Leyton

Carter

Crew

Solid porn names

Met a "Strider" or "Stryder" a couple weeks ago.  A boy.  I hunch he will become a motorcycle enthusiast and end up joining a biker gang and dining in a Twin Peaks restaurant.  In a dive bar town.  Call the police, there's a mad man around.

That's funny, I too know a Kayla from Victorville. 

 

She moved to Tennessee though, I don't blame her

[Redondo]

Tough part about all these names is that these kids will be spelling their name every time they use it. It has to get old. It's like having that last name you have to spell every time except worse.

Or a huge Lord of the Rings nerd who works in a comic book shop and smells of Subway Sandwiches and sweat.

my first year of teaching, my very first day, i'm calling roll for one of the 9th grade classes. i called one girl sharon, even though it was spelled charon. she looked up at me and said "it's sha-RON!" like i was supposed to know that.

 

Charon? Like the ferryman of Hades?

My wife and I had the same problem Tank. Thankfully, she taught in the inner city, so her students were named Thunderhawk, Mysondavid, Reggie and Reginald (twins), Brandy and Tanqueray (also twins), and my personal favorite: Umajesty.

 

On a similar note, I went to high school with two twins, both named Lenard, and you distinguished the names by placing the emphasis on the opposite syllable (LEnard vs. LeNARD).

A long time ago I had some bank dealings with a woman named Charnel. Guess the ethnicity.

When my ex and I were told we were having a boy we were going to name him Kellar, which is my dad's middle name. Fortunately, we had a girl. Later, I found out my dad hates his middle name.

Your (almost) son going through life ...

 

Kellar:  "I have an appointment to see Dr. Rosenrosen."

 

Frontdesk Clerk:  "Your name?"

 

Kellar:  "Kellar McKee"

 

Clerk:  (In a shocked and concerned voice)  "Your name is Killer McKee?!?!"

[Adam]

lol @ Dr. Rosenrosen

 

"some sort of noma"

I wonder how often women shy away from relationships to avoid ending up with a double name like Taylor Taylor or Jordan Jordan? Or to avoid have the exact same name as their potential husband?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I have a friend whose name is Whitney, and her boyfriend of 5 or 6 years is named Ryan Whitney.  She'll have an interesting decision should they marry.

Actually, he probably would have been called Hellen Kellar.

So now names can be the 5th gender identity category.

wow, no love for Taylor?

[Ray McKigney]

If it's a guy, the parents should just avoid future confusion and change it to Gaylor.

Talk about dodging a bullet. An ex of mine recently had her second child. A boy that she and her husband named Jaxon Michael. No shit.

I knew a woman named Amber Smart.  We had lots of fun saying "she wasn't Smart anymore" after getting married and changing her name.

We named our son Ethan. I had no idea, at the time, that it had become a trendy/popular name. 

 

He's almost 3. We took him to a music class in MV a couple weeks ago and there were 3 other boys there. ALL named Ethan. I looked at my wife and mouthed "we suck."

[Jay]

Ethan > Jaxson
