Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: übermetroid on April 07, 2004, 04:29:33 pm: I need some ideas for a boy name. Why? Because I find out in a month if my girlfriend is having a boy or girl and I need to have some good ideas of what to name my kid.

Any ideas?

Note: They have to be cool name, not normal names like Bob or Joe.

PS:
I allready came up with a girl name: Scarlett

On a side note, I am going to have alot of fun with this kid. I will be sure to tell him stories of the past battles between Vasuans and Humans and when we had to team up to fight off the bigger powers...

He is going to get messed up! :D

Post by: Setekh on April 07, 2004, 11:48:58 pm: Hey, congratulations. :)

I favour John or Michael myself. Simple, but Hebrew derived names are just so cool... :yes:

Don't forget to consider 'Samus' for a girl's name. :D
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: Rictor on April 07, 2004, 11:58:57 pm: is Jeeves out of the question?
perhaps Qubert?

well, anyways, I stick by my original suggestion of Nathan.
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: übermetroid on April 07, 2004, 11:59:41 pm: Oh MAN! I would love Samus.... Its just that Scarlett is my first girls name, no matter WHAT.

Samus would work for my second girl though...
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: Setekh on April 08, 2004, 12:04:46 am: Jeeves! Heh, that would be a great name, sure brings back some memory... maybe I should wake Jeeves up from his cryogenic sleep and get him back on the news reel. ;)

Hahah, don't worry, if you tell us when you're having your second daughter, we'll be sure to remind you. In fact, so you don't forget, I'll give you a new title... :D
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: übermetroid on April 08, 2004, 12:09:58 am: lol! I love it!

And the cool thing is that I just told my GF about Samus and she likes it too!

This is interesting...!
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: Ulala on April 08, 2004, 12:19:48 am: I always liked the name Kyle, and Jeremy... Caleb is a pretty cool one too... ;)
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: Rictor on April 08, 2004, 12:20:34 am: are you serious? That would rock! Like that guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime :D:D

I think Scarlett is a fine name, not your run of the mill stuff. I'm also partial to Mallory for a girl's name, but Samus would be incredibly cool.

Caleb always make me think of that wierd little kid from the series American Gothic. I saw maybe 3 episodes, but I instantly assosciate the name with it, and that guy who played Gideon in B5: Crusade was also in it.

I'm sure you were all just itching for my opinions on the matter, so I decided to indugle you :lol: :lol:

Yea, that would be cool. But the Queen says no. Not at all. No way!

I like Michael too, its my dad's first name, but the name is reserved for my 3rd kids middle name. (named after gf's and I's parents, by age. (4 kids total.) Goes Lee, Anni, Michael, Sandy)

Here are the names that we both do like though.

Ridley
Kennedy (Nick name - Ken)
Hunter
Owen
Reese (from T1)
Logan

Post by: beatspete on April 08, 2004, 01:52:25 pm: Geoff is a good name, but only really for small animals and inanimate objects, ie Geoff the Rock, Geoff the Toad...

Peter is always a sturdy and reliable name, i've never had any problems with it.
Title: Need a good boy name!
Post by: übermetroid on April 08, 2004, 02:43:28 pm: I got an uncle named peter, so that is out.

Aken makes me think of American Idol, so I really dont want to think about it.

Oh, and Logan as in Xmen's Wolverine. But thats cause I want a strong name for my first born male. The other males will have wimp names if my gf has anything to say about it.

Almost certainly. Game developers put a lot of thought into the naming of their characters - check out all the links a company like Bungie has made with its names.
