I've "met" the perfect woman (for me).

(What?! I'm named after a king who's name starts with A, and my son will be too. Nothing wrong with that! :-D)

Nothing wrong, other than the huge amount of abuse you're ensuring the kid will get, yeah. The fastest way to get a kid to reject his name later in life is to give him one that nobody will respect.

If you really want to name him Aragorn, eithe rmake it his middle name, or give him a middle name he can choose to use instead. Names can be unique, yes. But naming after such a completely geeky symbol isn't doing the kid a favor.

*is in agreement*

Naming your children isn't a game. They've got to keep those names until they are old enough to legally change them to Optimus Prime.

Phht, I got stuck with Arthur....

but i'll give him a middle name he can use instead. :-p

Chances are by the time I have kids all such ideas will have faded.
 

BTW, I deleted an inappropriate post. Be nice, everybody. Thanks.

Go Arthur Go! The girl who I have a "dated at summer school and then 2 year letter/email" relationship with is a redhead as well, and a writer too! She's super-amazing, and would play DND like all get out if there was anyone at her school who had even heard of the game.

The best part is that we, without realizing it until we both had already gotten accepted and decided, ended up deciding on colleges that are but a few hours by bus from each other. And they were both our first choices, too boot.

So maybe both college and love can work out...?
 


I'm in my 3rd year of college and slightly behind actually. Too much gaming.
Near the end of may she's supposed to visit NJ and NY and we'll get together for the first time then. If we hit it off in person...well. Who knows. Right now, all i know is, we have many things in common and she has just about every quality ive ever looked for in a woman.

Here's to hoping for the future.

The only negative part about all this, is that she lives on the Canadian/NY border and not nyc :-(.

For (insert deity of your choice here)'s sake man. QUIT COMPLAINING! Shut up and buy yourself a car that gets good mileage. She sounds like one in a billion. Given the average, there can't be more than 5 or 6 more like her on earth. Get yours while you can!
