rebus82

if anything?

Like it? Hate it? DH and I are at an impasse here. (This is first and last.)

Kent Brockman

?

the newscaster on 'the simpsons'.

THANK YOU!

I told DH that's what everyone on Earth would think, and he swore that most people wouldn't even recognize it. I don't know where he gets these jacked up notions. I guess because he hasn't watched the show in 10 years that must mean that no one else has either. Idiot.

I thought of Clark Kent. I don't like it

I don't watch The Simpsons, so I thought about how I liked the name Kent but DH didn't so we couldn't use it. I still like it!!!

 Yes, this...

Funny, when I read the name I thought it sounded like a newscaster name...then I scrolled down and saw the Simpson's comment. I don't watch the Simpson's very often but it is a good newscaster name!

I don't even watch the Simpsons and I still though of a news anchor. Maybe I heard it somewhere and that's why.

Eh.

I don't like it simply because I dated a guy named Kent, and he was a total douchebag. It's a nice enough name, though. Just not one that *I* would ever choose!

Nice, strong name. Sounds like a news anchor... or QB haha.

The Simpsons.

Which has been on tv for over 20 years and is not likely to be canceled anytime soon.? Meaning that adults and children will all know the name.? (It's not like some actor/actress from the 60's or something that most people will?have forgotten).?

Definitely not something i would ever use.? i wouldn't even use Ken.

This is what I told DH. I said, there is no way people will forget the name, even by the time our son is 30. It's just too ingrained in our culture. I wouldn't use anything close like Ken either, but he asked me to post on here and get opinions - which have now just proven ME right. I told him, any other last name would have been fine, but by using my last name, that first name goes right out the window as a possibility. ?

I love the name Kent.  I am using that as a middle name someday.  It's my dads middle name!
