How Did/Will You Name Your Kids?

[reveal]

Wouldn't dream of it! I would really like to have our first child now, but I know that we just can't afford it time-wise. But - we're good and young and have lots of time to have babies (I want three)!

Though - my favorite thing about getting married young is the fact that *everyones* response is, "Oh... Married at 19? Do you have any children."

You want three now. Wait till you have one.

I know a lot of folks who have multiple kids but one is just fine with me.

It doesn't matter what you name your kids. What's important is the embarrasing nickname you can hang on them. My kids have pretty standard real names, but I invariable call them "peanut head" and "the monkey".

My daughter Karen (age 7) has recently informed me that I can continue to call her "Peanut" at home, but I should call her "Karen" in public.

Zach hasn't objected to "Monkey man" yet.

I always wanted to be an only child. My brother was born when I was 7 and I *hated* him at the time. When he was 3 months old, I got chicken pox. I snuck into his room late at night and rubbed myself on him. I'm a horrible, evil person. So - I hope to avoid hatred by leaving a little less space between them. But - I suppose - this sort of planning might just be something girls do...

My brother's name is Laramy. My mom wanted to name him Larry (my dad's name, grandpa's name, great grandpa's name, and on and on). My dad wanted to name him Jeremy. I suggested combining them. Hence - Laramy.

My dad always just called me "Princess"... hehehe... think it went to my head.

"Gooberhead" and "Monkeybutt" are two I'm proud to call my son.

My dad is fond of calling my sister chickenbutt.

 

[Lobo Lurker]

My daughter is named Lorelei Noelia. I always liked the name and the spelling is unusual.

If I have another daughter, I kind of like the name Genevieve.

I call my dog Farty McPooperton and Stinky McSmellerton... he's kind of like my kid... but smaller, furrier, and - well - doggier.

If I ever have triplet daughters they will be named Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia.

Somehow I don't find this surprising.
