... how about "George" for a boy and "Laura" for a girl?

On second thoughts... ;)

[stellanoir]

[Stephanie]

7. Well * is taken...

:evilgrin:

[Tace]

8. My Sister Named Her Son Clinton

He's a bright, happy 11-year-old now. I think my ultra-rightwing dad was a bit miffed.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

64. Eww.

Macaca is OBVIOUSLY a girl's name. :rofl:

Psychopath... but entirely cool.

We're having our first grandchild in May, and my son and I want Omar, but we're getting static from the already overprotective mom. : ) (that's the first time... and last time... I'll use that fucking emoticon.)

[lpbk2713]

Come on, you mentioned him, and your son is coming just in time.

Great minds think alike.

[jen4clark]

24. This is serious

my suggestion, I mean.

Stephen.

I have known several Stephens all throughout my life (I'm pretty old) and have never met one I didn't like. In fact, one of the most blessed, kind, smart and hysterically funny men I know is named Stephen, so it's always been my favorite name. ;) (Oh, and all the Stephens I've known have pronounced it Steven -- not Stefan.)

And there's an awesome Grateful Dead song, St. Stephen.

[AspenRose]

his son, Associate Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

32. I've been a DADDY three times and I'd say we should help him with DONATIONS...

All these site improvements we enjoy, don't come cheap and becoming "daddy" is no bargain either!

[The Straight Story]

34. Been around the block roughly 5 times myself :) Donations are good

We need to replace the glove with a pacifier and * with a baby pic :)

[Pacifist Patriot]

67. Too bad there isn't a way we can donate sleep. ;-)

[mb7588a]

47. There are some great names in politics right now:

Sherrod, William Jefferson, Sheldon, Byron, Edward,

Old standards: Franklin, Theodore, Lincoln


But really the best names are family names. It's something someone can hold onto no matter where they go, to remind them where they came from.

Guy
Marco
Bjorn

62. May i suggest

Nisha(meaning 'night' in Sanskrit) if its a girl

or

Kabir (a 12th century Indian mystic who preached peace between hindus and muslims through his poetry) if its a boy.

congratulations skinner.

[TheBaldyMan]

63. Skinny Me ?

[npincus]

72. he may be taking the initial of a

(deceased) relative- if he is Jewish, and as per custom, and naming accordingly.

[helderheid]

73. Optimist Prime

[Fly by night]

74. If it's a girl, name her Fannie Lou ...

... after Fannie Lou Hamer of Mississippi, one of the bravest and most articulate spokeswomen for democracy this country has ever had.

And if a boy, you could do worse than Tom Paine...

[Buzz Clik]

75. How about Buzz?

[Nikki Stone1]

76. Wellstone

Whatever you choose, congratulations!

[alfredo]

77. When I first got married I told my mom that we were naming

our first child Blister Dipstick. She was not amused.

A heroic name would be nice, but not one that would get him/her beat up.

Check the Soap Operas, note the names, then eliminate them from consideration.

Don't pick a name while the mother is still groggy or pissed off at the pain you put her through. You don't want the baby named "Rununhlhifnsl" or "Never Again."



Anyway, congrats




edited for speling.

[Cameron27]

78. Well I don't have any names to offer

but since I've been away for several days.....CONGRATULATIONS to the *Skinner* family!

[BlueEyedSon]

79. Anything but "George"

[RobertSeattle]

83. Egroeg?

George backwards!

[TahitiNut]

80. I already did: "Armon Tanzarian Allen"

As usual, it was ignored ... probably because fewer than 10% even understood it. :shrug:

[lazyriver]

96. Seymour Skinner

;)

[dysfunctional press]

82. Mule

[Buzz Clik]

86. We can always use another mule skinner.

[DemonFighterLives]

90. I picked Mule and here you have it at the end.

I'll have to agree then= Mule Skinner!!
:dem:

[Hugin]

87. Cheuy

I love that name! :7

Really, I think the Skinners are perfectly capable of finding and deciding on
a suitable name on their own.

But, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, Don't... And I mean it, DO NOT name your child with
the same name or a derivative of my name! I speak from experience... He'll be
dog piled by every TeeVee evangelist and exorcist wannabe to come down the pike.

Pssst... Go with Cheuy. ;)

[JHB]

91. How about an old, dignified Saxon name... like Hengist

After one of the Saxon leaders who invaded/settled in England (Thomas Jefforson was a big fan, evidently). I won't suggest his brotther's name, though. You just know hoe the other kids would react to "Horsa".

[ronnykmarshall]

95. Pelosi

[QuestionAll...]

97. DUayne or DUsilla. ? ... congrats to Skinner and family...

the HUGH suggestion above made me laugh.

omg! a ten pounder! he's Hugh!

[earth mom]

99. America, Hope or Liberty for a girl. Justice, Jefferson or Benjamin for a boy.

Congratulations! :woohoo:
