Baby boy name help

kbmackey · January 2015

Still debating on our boys name. Thinking about Malakai Rome or Kai Phoenix. Any suggestions are welcome. Husband likes the name/nickname Kai, and our daughters middle name is a city name, so we were trying to stick with that.

Frankenstein.

FWIW, I think of Kai as a female name; though that's simply because i know 2 women with that name. I personally don't adore either name suggested.

Is anyone else confused why naming your kids after cities is even remotely on a list of importance? What does it achieve? Do the parents just really fucking love cities in general?

So many questions!

Fun fact: when people ask us the name, we always make one up on the fly but Hotairballoon is ALWAYS the middle name. I'm terrified it might actually stick...

Us too, with Winetavius.

Just curious whether wanting to use a city name that we like is any different than just picking a random name? Pretty sure they are all of same importance. Sorry not wanting to name son John David or whatever it is that might appease ignorant people.

WTAF? People aren't ignorant b/c they choose normal names, if anything speshul names are what looks ignorant.

This. Speshul snoeflayk names make me question if their parents are unintelligent or were just high when they named their children.

...dammnit GD. All I can think of are carby food names.

I love how these people think you can either name your kid something like John or something ridiculous that isn't even a name. Like there's NO middle ground

kaynjay530 · January 2015

If you insist on that name, try spelling it Malachi instead. It looks funky spelled like that. Also do not like the middle name "Rome". You asked for suggestions..,

Based on the grammar of all of these name posts, I'm going to go with unintelligent.

Srsly?

So you're NOT going to go the Baby Names Board? Ok, then.

Why, exactly, are you naming your kid after a city? I personally like Tashkent. Or Kalamata.

Toadsuck (in Arkansas), hardly ever gets love. It toadally name my LO after that city, but she's a girl. Clearly Toadsuck would be a boy name.

stine28 · January 2015

Here's a thought... Use a city that you actually give a crap about. Like somewhere you've been. Or have ancestors from. And we can't help with that because we don't know who the fuck you are.

So my suggestion will be the city my ass is currently in: Malachi Jasper. And I'm awarding myself bonus points because I know actual normal humans who have named their kid Jasper.

Ok here's my opinion--I assume you've never been to Rome, maybe not even Phoenix. Either way it's likely neither of those cities has particular importance to you, seeing as you just asked for suggestions that included any city name.

To me, this is the same as people who, say, hang posters of the NYC/Paris/London skyline in their living room without having ever visited those cities. I roll my eyes at that, so hard. And this is actually even worse-- it's your kid's name! It comes across as trying too hard. It seems unsophisticated, desperate... Really NMS. Now, if you got engaged in London, maybe that has enough personal relevance to be included in your kid's name (still tacky IMO, but slightly less so)... or if you wanted to use your hometown as a MN -- I could excuse that. But ANY city name? Just because ZOMG THEME NAMES!!!...? No.

But Intercourse is better, I like Pennsylvania.

You lost me. You mean she should name her kid Malachi Intercourse? Intercourse Pennsylvania? Sexytime Malachi?

It was a bad attempt at a joke, she said she wanted a city name. So if it's going to be ridiculous, why not go all out.

I'm with ya on going all out. Just not at catching jokes. Let's call it pregnancy brain and all go have a nap?

That's Ignorant!

jordanbohr · January 2015

Pennsylvania can also offer up some fun names if you want cities. We've got Blue Ball and Virginville.

deeohgee · January 2015

What about street names? There's a street in my city called Cockburn!

goofygoff · January 2015

There's a Vader here in WA.

Once we found out we were having a boy, I jokingly suggested this as a name. The look on my husband's face told me he thought I was serious for a second. Good times.

Anyway, my vote is for Anus (France) or Middlefart (Denmark). The latter would be great if you intend on having a third kid after this one, OP.

Jeff Vader is head of catering on the death star. Not so good with making the trays dry though. This ones wet this ones wet this ones wet....

Did you dry these in a rain forest?

Oh, Eddie.

Lol, I think I'll go with Middlesex for a name, so English! No matter that I haven't been there, or really don't care about it. THEMES MEAN EVERYTHING!!!11!1

kbmackey · January 2015

Wow, its nice to know that people are cruel when just wanting to get genuine suggestions. You will cry freedom of speech if anyone calls you out for being malicious. What happened to common courtesy. It's ok to ridicule guys, but just remember that some of you were in the same boat just wanting honest suggestions. I never thought changing a name to be different would be chastised as much as it has been on here today but what I do know is what goes around comes around . And by the way, for all the insensitive people who have obviously enjoyed being bullies on a baby website go F**K yourselves:)

rm2013 · January 2015

I find it hard for you to complain about common courtesy when you have practiced none yourself.

Actually, my husband and I picked our name. Mostly because I don't want strangers naming my child, nor do I need their input. (Nothing against you ladies!)

@jnowosielski‌ It's never wrong to want a donut, no matter what thread you post to.
