Kids Names

[BA]

How's the names in Matt J's report today.

Maybe I'm getting on a bit, but what happened to good old names names like Steve, Mick, Susan, Julie etc.

What's some other "modern" names you've heard kids called these days (keep the celeb's out of it, they're just plain farked in the head).

[Karlos]

No comment on the names (best leave that one alone), but Matt if you're reading this get some of the locals to show you some of the tree runs in WP/MJ. Also, you ought to head up to Berthoud Pass for some real good back country tracks.

C'mon, someone had to say it.

I've got a standing bet with an old school friend that I name my first born son Godfrey. It's only for 10 bucks but I think I'll get him on a technicality and whack it in as a middle name somewhere.

When it happens I'll not only be 10 bucks richer I'll be the father of God. Top that!

Now there's a criminally ignored name. Not quite as good as Gaylord, but I'll pay it nonetheless.

My most recent born was due enter the world on Xmas day & he was going to be named Jesus. I threatened to fill out the birth registration while the missus was still recovering in the hospital & mail it off, but fortunately junior arrived a week early thus robbing me of a child that would grow up with some real issues with his father.

It's a bit of a trend nowadays to have what were traditionally last names as first names e.g. Campbell, Bailey, Riley etc.

[2nd Reef]

Yep, Gaylord is a good one too Karlos. I've also favoured Cecil. At the very least he'd have a good excuse for his bedroom being a cesspit.


Recently did a job for a Vietnamese fella called Kevin. His real name is Dung. Imagine that in an aussie playground!


On the subject of surnames as first names I've also wondered what you'd do if your first name was Casey, Tyler, Jordan etc etc..and you married Ron Casey, Stephen Tyler or Michael Jordan. Do you become Casey Casey, Tyler Tyler or Jordan Jordan?

And how the f*ck did Jon Jon Florence get his name?

[2nd Reef]

^^^With a stutter?

[2nd Reef]

And f*ck, wotabout those double-barrelled surnames favoured by English upper class toffs. You know Lincoln Smythe-Jones and the like.

What happens if Lincoln Smythe-Jones marries Hilary Reece-Browne? Does she become Hilary Reece-Browne-Smythe-Jones??

Imagine trying to fit that signature on the back of a credit card!

I wanted to call my daughter Trinity, after the first nuclear test, but the missus wouldn't be in it.

She jacked up at Copernicus for the boy, too.

[2nd Reef]

^^^Perhaps she might have gone for Enola Gay or Little Boy, Coll?

Copernicus is a ripper of a name though. Might hold on to that one.

I've deadset wondered about this for a long time.
Someone has to have known somebody in this situation.
Do they create a hybrid name?
From the above it could be Hilary Reesjob...

PS - what about these people who quote their middle initial, what's that all about?
Americans seem to love it.
David H Brown, John D S Smith, Howard K Stern, Robert D Mason.
Who do they think they are?

Also what's with their job titles?
They all have to be president of something.

Oh Jesus. The upper north shore (& I suspect the eastern suburbs) of Sydney is riddled with these stupid names. What did the mothers of these people want to 'hold on to their identity' or some such sh*t by incorporating their maiden name into their kids' names? You tend to get these bloody names all throughout the rugby world funnily enough.

I don't see what the big deal is anyway, half the time the names aren't that spectacular.
What's so special about them?
Adam Ashley-Cooper, Sam Norton-Knight
Upon birth maybe they get a silver spoon with each name

How many double-bangers do you know?
I know one and he's a wanker

[2nd Reef]

I know one too and he's a wanker-dickhead.

^^^ And it's not Ross Clarke-Jones!
