Tools? Seems a bit harsh on yourself, your dad and your uncle.

...and my son

My sister's friends, triplets, are called Faith, Hope and... Stanley.

Stanley cracks me up

I've mentioned this before I think, but I believe the wife taking her husband's name is originally a title rather than a name. A non aristo version of a duke's wife becoming dutchess of wherever-he's-duke-of.

The only rules I would have with naming children is only use names that already exist, spell them properly, never have names that rhyme, and never have middle names that start with a vowel.

Never have middle names. Middle names are for dullards and cricketers.

parryman, why would you start a thread about naming children, if you aren't going to have any? Seems like the height of fucking look at me, actually don't look at me, nothing to see here..

Get an Ikea catalogue. Loads of exotic names in there!

Pepsi and Max

Jonny Awesome

Johnny Absent?
Got to name my third next week. A girl.
The Waterboys - A girl called Johnny - YouTube

No... I like that name, actually. Was not serious but now is.

Cat thread ....

FNW556D Then they have had a private number plate from birth.

Substitute your own of course.

Shameless theft of poor joke from some TV comedian.

It was more regarding the rules governing the naming of childer and whether you have to give them the surname from one or both of the parents.
It wasn't called 'naming my children'

I went to school with someone called, Isaac Hunt..
And heard a parent shout out 'Sam and Ella, don't forget your egg sandwich packed lunches!'

I went to school with Isaac Newton, and his less famous brother Owen

You can put what you want on the birth certificate I believe, a colleague of mine was looking into this as she is still married to her ex, and pregnant with the child of her new boyfriend, she didn't wish to name said sprog with her ex-husbands name, hence the inquiry.

I'd simply call the child [First name] Van [last name].

Try it- an example would be Bothwell Van Buckfast.

Lends an air of glamour to the most quotidian of names.

Are your kids born in the Congo?

I chose our boys name and she chose our girls name

Our criteria was we both had to approve an we couldn't name them after anyone we'd yentzed

Needless to say it was murder trying to decide our girls name
