What would you name your children?

[Murphy]

Inspired by this absolute gem this afternoon - http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/nov/19/dad-names-baby-son-bermondsey-millwall-den

Dagenham Essex Vic for me.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I just told my girlfriend about this story, her reply was, "If you named our child bloody Cole Skuse then I'd never speak to you again."

Can't decide if it's worth it...

 

[DarkSithLord]

Luke for a lad and Sophia for a Girl.

 

[sl1k]

I wanted Ayla for a girl, but my dad ended up mentioning it to his brother who just happened to have a girl a couple months later.

 

[blade1889]

When I had hamsters I was working through the Fawlty Towers cast. So I feel with kids I'd have to raise the bar a bit. Maybe Aragorn for a boy and Galadriel for a girl.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Dave.

Not sure what I'd choose if I have a boy though.

 

[SALTIRE]

Always liked Mungo.

 

[Aberstone]

Ruislip Wealdstone Vale. Has a ring to it actually.

 

[johnnytodd]

people who name their 1st borns after their dad make me sick, dave junior etc..........pathetic

 

[r1ch1e]

Theo. Not enough Theos in the world

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

If we're going on a football theme then how about

King Tony Ian
&
Womble Fucked

(the first sounds a bit wanky given I've anointed him a monarch, but on balance I think the latter has probably drawn the short straw. Probs a good thing I'll almost certainly never have children)

 

[claret50]

Names that wouldn't embarrass them.

 

[silkyman]

Some of us already have kids. At the moment, I'm mainly calling her 'don't do that, you'll break something'...

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Oi-Get-Here You-Little-Shit.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Æthelwulf or Ethelfleda.

obviously

 

[SALTIRE]

Little bastard...

 

[Libertadores FC]

Carlos for a lad, Carlitas for a lass

 

[Red]

I'm not having anymore kids, but if I had a girl I'd calll her Sian, a boy, Cuthbert

 

[Aber gas]

Cuthbert? I'm not having any more bloody kids either but if I was I'd name them after myself. I've never been allowed before but I'd put my foot down. Oli 2 sounds pretty damn cool.

 

[Murphy]

I quite like the name Francesca for a girl, Connor for a boy.

 

[TomPNE94]

My dad reckons he called me Thomas because of Tommy Mooney and apparently it was a great football name whatever the fuck that means. My mum insists I was named after her grandad. I prefer the Tommy Mooney story though.

My brother is Charles George. Again, my Dad maintains he was named after the Arsenal player and my mum denies.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

If my little girl had been a boy, she was going to be called Marco.

 

[SUTSS]

Cnut.

 

[UTS]

Connor is such a chav name.

Joe/James for a boy and Emma (don't laugh) or Hannah for a girl.

 

[Stagat]

 

[Abertawe]

My mum was going to call me Felix until my nan intervened. Frank heavens.

 

[mnb089mnb]

My mum was going to call me Felix until my nan intervened. Frank heavens.

My dad wanted to call me Emlyn.

We could have been besties.

Felix & Emlyn.

I much prefer Tommy to Thomas. My mum hates people calling me that so I make sure everyone does call it me just to annoy her.

 

[Meadow]

Names that wouldn't embarrass them.

All very well, but you can't account for a name later being used in popular culture. I named my eldest daughter Nicole but the Renault Clio ads hit the TV screens about the time she started school. To this day, she won't answer when called Nicole and insists on being called Nicki.

 

[Pagnell]

I much prefer Tommy to Thomas. My mum hates people calling me that so I make sure everyone does call it me just to annoy her.

A friend of mine is called Jonathan, so everyone calls him Jon. His mum hates it and insists that everyone calls him by his full name (which I don't do of course). His old man is called Peter and everyone calls him Pete. His mum hates that too. However, she's called Patricia, but insists on being called Pat. It's weird how people work sometimes.
