"All across America, parents are mangling names to trumpet their kid’s individuality."

Speaking of mythical names, the best one I saw in the Illiad was Scamander (Skamandros)

If I was a river god, I'd want a name like that

[Callius]

I know someone called Yuropa :geno: why can't people stick with normal names?

[QUOTE=spekter;21834997]At my friend work experience they had a kid come in for a birthday party, he was called Odysseus.[/QUOTE]

Odysseus sounds like an awsome name to pronouce in a deep, authoritve voice.

"Odysseus!, Clean up the dishes at once!"

"Odysseus!, Do your homework!"

"Whomobile, fix your grammar at once!"

[QUOTE=Swim;21834476]I'm gonna name my son Sue.[/QUOTE]

Then I hope he finds you in a bar and beats you up one day, cause all you'll leave him as a child was an old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.. Johnny Cash reference :v:

[QUOTE=Left4Meds;21830517]I want my child to be unique, I will name him 'Unique'.[/QUOTE]
I knew a girl named Unique. She had a limp.

[Bl4ck1ce]

I'll name my Son Communist and daughter Capitalist.

'Cause you know, brothers and sisters always fight. :3:

[Wiggles]

I'm going to name my son Ramirez so I can order him around and blame it on video games.

[lazyguy]

I'd like to call my kids Aeneas and Turnus. That or Liam.
If it was a girl I'd maybe call her Lavinia, but that's a mouthful, plus at school all the kids'd call her Lav. So maybe I'd call her Liv instead.

[Elecbullet]

There's this girl in my third period named [del]Courtney[/del] Kirtney.

God she's cute.

I hate how people think they need ghetto names to be unique.
Shit, name your kid something like Ulysses, Alistair, or Maximilian, and you have a unique name that is also completely fucking badass.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=GunFox;21834592]Uhh, Calypso is an awesome name.

You probably have some name based in Judeo-Christian myth or an occupation.

Calypso comes from ancient Greek myth as the sea Goddess and daughter of a Titan.[/QUOTE]

Fuck, I wanna name my kid Calypso now

How can someone named Storm not be a lesbian?

[Triumph Forks]

Well, I did run into her 2 years after the place closed down at a GSA event :v:

Brayden is a fucking awesome name. Since my last name is Wayne, I want to name my son Bruce.

Except Turnus got dominated by Aeneas, whose only Godly blood was from [I]Aphrodite.[/I]

Really, that's sad, he even had Hera rooting for him. However, he did manage to fight off a fort of soldiers single-handidly, and survive.

I don't know, if I have a boy I'd probably name him either Marcus or Cornelius, you know, a good old fashioned Roman name.

If I had a girl I'd probably name her Julia, Hannah, or Sarah.
