Good news and bad news

[Bonker]

I just found out I'm having a BOY !!! YAY !!!

The bad news is that my wife said no to all the names I picked out.

She put a big black line through Maxim, Stoner, Browning, Colt, and Kalashnikov.

No cool name for my son

I had plenty of good girl named picked out but no boy names. I need a good Irish name but I can't find the perfect one. It takes me all day to buy the perfect pair of shoes. This may put me in the funny farm for good!

 

[Thumper]

Congrats on the new kiddo, Bonk!

 

[Camel]

Congrats!

Ive always liked Seamus.

 

[another okie]

Padroag, like the golfer.
Or Brian Boru, like the warrior king.
Or Patrick. Can't get much more Irish than that.

Top 100 Irish boy's names: http://www.ireland-information.com/heraldichall/irishboysnames.htm

 

[Slotback]

John Moses (Browning)
Samuel (Colt)
Eugene (Stoner)

There are ways around this.

 

[Zundfolge]

How about Malone? (middle name Laveigh)

 

[John G]

Cormac. As in "Cormac Mac Art of the clan na dub O'Brien", from the Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) stories.

"-for he is no Viking at all by birth, but a Gael of Erin, by name Cormac Mac Art, called an Cliuin , or the Wolf. Of old, he led a band of Irish reivers and harried the coasts of the British Isles and Gaul and Spain- aye, and he preyed also on the Vikings themselves."

John I actually am considering Conan. The wife is neutral to it.

Others we are considering are:

Perry
Dylan
Brock
Bailey
Killian
Gavin
Reece
Ronan
Conor


Bear in mind the list changes almost daily right now

 

[Standing Wolf]

Bear in mind the list changes almost daily right now

The list is going to continue to change daily and hourly until the laddie's in hand, at which point, your wife's going to announce with perfect finality out of a clear blue sky, "His name's 'Athelstane'."
