"Westley" for a boy, middle name "Richard", but I pity a kid named "Westley". LOTS OF THEM AROUND HERE. THEY GO BY "WES".

"Purdey" for a girl. Wasn't Joanna Lumley in the "New Avengers" named Purdey? I PITY THE BOY NAMED PURDEY!!

"Dakota" already is, EVERYWHERE HERE. TONS OF THEM. ALMOST PASSE. I HAVE A HORSE NAMED DAKOTA, AND THAT IS WHERE I THINK THE NAME BELONGS. WE CALL HER "KOTY" OR "KOTA".

"Holland" could be a girl's name, similar to "Holly". I LIKE THIS ONE. BUT THEN, I KNEW A GORGEOUS GIRL NAMED HOLLY.

"Greener" could be a real cool trendy name similar to Sky, River and Earth. I LIKE GREENER. SOUNDS GOOD. UNLESS THE KID'S LAST NAME IS "FIELDS" OR "LANDS". I GUESS IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF THE KID'S LAST NAME WAS "SHOTGUN"...

And I won't even mention "Fuchs" ...... I ACTUALLY KNOW A FAMILY BY THIS NAME...

HOW ABOUT "DOPPELBOCKSBUCHSFLINTE"??

AS IN, "HEY, MOM, I'M GOING OVER DOPPELBOCKSBUCHSFLINTE'S HOUSE AFTER SCHOOL. I'LL BE HOME FOR SUPPER."

I don't have any kids so can't take up the opportunity, but do you think there might be an advertising/marketing opportunity is selling the rights to your kids' names?

eg "Holland Hahn" ... "Westley Richard Hahn" ... "Fuchs Hahn"

Must be worth a buck to the companies as it is advertising for life!

OK, any one out there willing o name their first born "Nitro Express .... Smith ...(ie insert surname)? How much?

Re: Ideal names for your kids if you are crazy!

Gentlemen,

This thread is a little different. Though I'm of German decent one probably would want to avoid naming a child after a German firearm combination. Though "Doppelbuchse" (in the plural form) is what many of us are drawn to the possibility of a kid being called "Doppels" for short smacks of someone rather light in the loafers. Many of the English names are good but very common. If one were to lean to the Deutsch side and keep with the firearms theme there is “Blitz” (lightning) and “Stahl” (steel), somewhat in line with “Nitro” (hmmm? - maybe better suited for a dog. My longtime favorite name for a kid that carries a European tone, sounds somewhat medieval, and is a little different is: “Banewort”, for those of us that have run into too many “Seths”.

This is funny stuff.

My German is very limited but I believe 9.3X57 was right to say that many of these words do not go well together and some combinations could be dangerous. Of course that would be when used around people with no sense of humor.

Sure is fun though.

For example: the use of "Fuchs" and "Hahn" together would make the hahn a rather key appendage belonging to a fox, if I’m not mistaken.

Sorry mush your wrong (not that I have anything against Canadians)

Ms Lumley was born in Sirinigar India where her father was a Major in the Gurkhas. Nitro is correct in saying that she is campaigning for the Gurkhas and for good reason they like many other traditional aspects of British life have been F###d over by the sniveling, baby boomer once revolting student generation of Volvo marxists that came in under the banner of that hand wringing oxygen thief Blair and now rests in the chubby neo marxist paws of the Brown.
(Not a fan you may notice.)
Gurkhas have been a part of the British armed forces for years and in fact it is a strong family tradition going back generations. To cut a long story short Blair intent to "rebuild" Britain amalgamated and dispossed of many regiments and gave Johhny Gurkha the flip, meanwhile they let in by their own admission the riff raff of the world and signed them on for welfare and housing a total
and unmitigated balls up. Deny a people who have served Britain valiantly and let in many who are at best scavengers at worst criminals and enemies.
So rant over

I have always thought if our Australian gov't wasn't also snivelling and balless (both Libs and Labor), Australia should have offered to take over the tradition. AND provide citizenship and family resettlement opportunities after a period of service by a Gurkha soldier.

There was also a librarian at the Springfield Sun in Ohio...her name was "Anita Beaver". That was her married name. Her parents were not at fault. While Angela was a sweet young lady, Anita was an extremely unpleasant person.

Then there was a more mundane but goofy name. Our neighbors daughter was named "Golden Little". A bit odd but nothing awful. She then married a guy named Mike Horn...thus becoming "Golden Horn".

Re: Ideal names for your kids if you are crazy!

I forgot my nephew, his name is Phupha which is pronounced poopa.

They didn't understand why I gave him the nickname scoopa.

I worked with a nurse years ago who’s name is Polly Look.
Her middle name is Esther.
She was so cool and a great nurse. I’m sure her name had much to do with her great attitude.

Your nephew is of Indian or Sri Lankan ancestry?

He's Thai.

My sister in law is called noona, it means big sister sort of over there, although I did have to mention it's means something else in the west.

I didn't know you are the brother of Jimmy Barnes?!

For those that don't know, singer Jimmy Barnes married a Thai princess.

A lot of Thai girls are very pretty.

And a disturbing number of thai boys of the lady persuasion.

But if they had friendlier gun laws I'd move there in a heartbeat.
