Ideal names for your kids if you are crazy!
#135025 - 11/05/09 12:30 AM

Saw another thread and ....

"Westley" for a boy, middle name "Richard", but I pity a kid named "Westley".

"Jeffery". My midde name is Jeffrey, slghtly different spelling.

"Purdey" for a girl. Wasn't Joanna Lumley in the "New Avengers" named Purdey?

"Dakota" already is, as is "Remington" and "Winchester".

"Churchill" is a great name for the bull dog, but not a human kid.

"Blaser" a great name for a horse!

"Merkel" is already a name as in "Angela Merkel", maybe a good name for a girl, but I am being really rude now ....

"Holland" could be a girl's name, similar to "Holly".

"Greener" could be a real cool trendy name similar to Sky, River and Earth.

"Heym" a ethnic sounding first name.

Something really cool about this one - "Ziegenhahn".

And I won't even mention "Fuchs" ......

"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?

PS I have not been drinking, well not much anyway.

John, I like the crass, shameless approach. Very apppealing!! I wonder how much quid I could coax out of the companies for a complete package, changed surname and all; "Ruger Winchester Hodgdon Alliant Vitavouri Savage", with Remington as a christening name???

I think you are on to something!

Still, a tasteful "Nitro Express" has a great ring to it.

Don't forget Alexander Henry....

How about a girl named Sarah Margaret Leslie Emily, or SMLE for short?

If James Bond ever had a daughter, he would have named her Martini (shaken, not stirred).

I have been known to refer to my wife as "Boss", so I suppose that would do for a girl's name as well.

I had a boss once upon a time named "R.A.F. England". True.

Good one. Especially if your surname was "Henry".

A common female name, however the feminine version is "Bossy".

My son's middle name is Remington but this is because it is an old family name.

I'll one up you on R.A.F. England. When I was in the Army we had a guy named Baron Von Rush. Let's just say the guy definitely wasn't German.

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.

There was I think a girl character called Martini Henry in Hal Porter's 'The Watcher on the Cast-Iron Balcony'. Her father had carried one in battle and liked the name.

When I lived in Moses Lake their was a girl named Fonda Peters.

I have a friend who names his dogs after famous Trout rivers. Snake, Battenkill, Bow. He actually thought about, but decided against naming a new Bitch Firehole.

"Purdey" in the New Avengers.

Posted just for fun.

"Purdey" was played by Joanna Lumley, whom today campaigns for the rights of "British" Gurkha troops to be allowed to become British citizens and settle in Britain.
