More baby name help
Wow ... the baby name ideas keep rolling in after Monday's Let's play 'Name that Baby!' Thanks to everyone for some good ideas, some bad ideas and some very interesting info.
Such as this:
I've been told that in some cultures, they name the baby after the first thing they see after giving birth. Given that we've had students in our school district with names like AquaNet, Popcorn, and Peanut, it stands to reason... Aren't you glad you AREN'T in such a culture? You could have a kid named "Stirrups" or "Obstetrician" or perhaps "Fluorescent Light Fixture." Fluorescent Light Fixture Wixon has a certain ring to it, don't you think?
Sure. We could call him "Flo."
Also ...
I've thought that parents could cash in on "naming rights" to their kids. I tormented a friend with names of fast-food chains as possible kid names. Chipotle, PeiWei, McDonald, Subway, Wendy.
I like that idea. If I name my son Chipotle, maybe I can get free lunch for a year. If I combine it with a Chipotle logo tattoed on my forehead, maybe I can get free burritos for life!
But definitely my favorite is the person that suggested I go with Mason Dixon Wixon, as in the famous Mason-Dixon line we learned in American History class.
In that case, when young Mason Dixon Wixon misbehaved, I could say this:
"Young man, you've crossed the line this time!"
I'm still open to suggestions. Thanks again for the help.
Comments
Mason Dixon Wixon is hard to beat, so I have to offer up a serious contender: Bennett. With a name like that he could be prime minister... or have working at the carwash blues.
