What, nobody going for Daenerys, Cercei, Tyrion, Stannis, or Melisandre?:wideeyed:

I was almost name Jaime instead of Jeffery.

Luckily for me I had a distant female cousin born and named Jaime while I was still in the oven.

I'd have to go by Jay or my initials if my parents had named me Jamie.



Again, no offense to anyone named Jamie, just not my cup of tea. Also fails my NO GIRL NAMES FOR BOYS rule.
 
OH, another rule when naming kids.

Think about the possible combination of Initials!


I know someone who named their son Wilson Tanner Fredrickson.


Literally W.T.F!


Of course I was either the first one to realize this or the only one with the guts to point it out to them.

Their response. OH MY GOD!


With an H for my last initial I have actively avoided the combination

D.O.H.

My brother switched from naming a kid Brian Michael just because of the initials. So he became Andrew Michael. And there are zillions of Andrews his age but no Brians.

also Google the name if you are choosing something more out there. Heard someone on the radio say a friend wanted to name their daughter Mirena not realizing that's also a name for a common IUD. Probably want to not go with that name then!
 
Pants, can you tell us more about the shark swimming? Were you enclosed in a box, did they have rules like no eating before going?

It was a cage, though luckily it was an open cage. Everyone was all paranoid about sticking their limbs out (like they were told not to do) meanwhile Pants is dangling both pasty white arms out trying to get better pictures. There's one picture I have that is just a super close shark head and one in the distance. I was trying to get a good pic of the one further below and this other shark came out of no were on my left, coming within inches of my hand.

Also, I think I ingested half of the Pacific Ocean. While is was a little choppy, it wasn't horrible on the top, but the ocean still has it's way with you. It was tossing me around like a ragdoll in that cage.

Also, it's very hard not to float in salt water. I had to wrap my legs outside of and around the bottom of the cage just to stay under water to try to get good enough pics.
 
The wife labored almost 24 hours before the C-section. I think it was lack of sleep by both of them. At least her middle name is Grace.


Placenta Grace.

I mean, that's almost worse because the middle name shows you do know what a name should be.
 
My son's name is Benjamin Isaiah. Ben for short.

Super Solid name.

I always like Maxwell personally. Found out my dad really wanted to name me that. Then found out he wanted my middle name to be Silver Hammer. So he wanted to name me after the Beatles song about a serial killer.
 
My name does not pass the Name Game test. Also, my name is the shortened version of a longer name, so I constantly have to say, no, that really is my name, it's not the longer one. No, seriously, that's what's on my birth certificate, it's my full, legal name. Less now that I'm older, but when I was younger, I used to have to really go 'round and 'round on it on legal documents.

Haha! I didn't figure it out until I actually sang the song with your name.

My dad's name is kind of the same way. He's Billy. Not William. Billy.
 
Placenta Grace.

When they announced the name to a room full of people and were greeted by stunned silence they seemed to finally realize how goofy it was and went into some tortured explanation about being a giver of life and connected to her parents or something. I was too busy trying not to laugh or smirk to pay much attention.
