Help name my friends child

[Angilion]

No great choices there, but went for Ronin, seems the best out of a bad bunch.

I don't know...naming a person as the word describing a feudal Japanese samurai without a lord to serve is a pretty crap thing to call someone. Especially since lacking a lord to serve was at least somewhat dishonourable.

Years ago, I looked at a website that was something to do with handbags and bad baby names. I wonder if I can find it again...yes, it's still going.

Went for Ezra. It's defo a girl's name, and apparently it means "help". Which is what this kid is going to need, in spades, throughout his school life.

Ronin is a great movie.

Ask me about how people become their names rather than being their names from day one.

For example: you, and definitely everyone you know and also don't know.

How about a fifth option, a bit unusual but definitely less likely to be bullied. Share a name with Jack Niclaus' grandson in law:

Todger. A good, strong, manly name.

Poor kid. Id report his parents for child abuse.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Dave Gorman did it first!

Ronin is a crap name.
Ezra is borderline.
I'm not even sure Harlen is a name at all.
Atticus is a great name!

Is your friend really called Jax?

 

[Reality|Bites]

Keith

 

[Angilion]

[..] Is your friend really called Jax?

More importantly, are they a Trill?

I've spent years developing my poker face when parents tell me the name of their baby, especially with the new trend is spelling the name in a "unique" way.

Those names are all pretty grim but could be worse.

I find it interesting how much a name must effect a kids future.

 

[lakitu]

Maybe they can't decide because they're all crap names?

haha, they're terrible but I pick Ezra

Yea he is.

 

[Minstadave]

Jax?

That explains the dubious names, must be genetic.

 

[Ayahuasca]

If you don’t Jax Teller, I will.

 

[FBi7]

If you don’t Jax Teller, I will.

Like others have said, not a great selection, so I'm not able to bring myself to vote on this occasion.

If they really want a chavvy name, why not just take any normal name, and spell it wrong.

 

[thenewoc]

Should be an option for Geedee surely.

Is this mumsnet?

I have to laugh at all the posters here with weird forum names complaining about odd names.

But yes those names are terrible.
