Same
Glad I'm never having children because I would call them ridiculous names probably Roman in origin
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 14:51, 3 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

the thing is, I'd like to call kids names from mythology
Greek, Roman, Norse, whatever, but I wouldn't actually be able to bring myself to do it, so they'd end up with ordinary and boring names.

Same here.
My daughter's name is unusual though, it's just foreign, but 100% apt as it's related to my grandmother's, sister's and cousin's names, and is also Greek like her mother's grotty wankstain family.

it is a nice name too
not wanky, but not ordinary.

Means I won't need to be embarrassed when, in 20 years time, I am smashing her backdoor in

I'm quite glad you laughed at that

You'd call your two sons
Jensen and Ackles

I like Artemisia.
Kick ass woman, and it's the biological name for wormwood.

I like that
another difficulty I have is that I like my mum's name and should I have a child would like to name it after her.

Unfortunately it is the same as a popular brand of tyre and a system for grading restaurants, with an e added to the end of it, and she has spent her entire life being called the tyre.

I was going to make a "lolol your mum's called Michelin?" joke
until I realised that's exactly what she's called.

Micheline
pronounced Michelle-een

curiously her siblings are called Bob, Dick and Pauline

Really?
Not Firehawk, Primacy and Energy-Saver?

Middle name?
I like my mum's name. But it suits her well.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:07, Reply)

it's irrelevant as I'm not having children

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:08, Reply)

I meant have it as a middle name.
This is hypothetical, I assume.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:11, Reply)

that's what I thought you meant.
it is hypothetical. I'm slightly confused now and I don't know why
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:12, Reply)

That's pretty cool
I'd probably be more vindictive than that.

Philomela?

I still think Dido is a monumentally odd name to call a daughter that you actually like.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:04, Reply)

how can you tell if you like them at that point though?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:05, Reply)

Fair comment
but calling your child Dido is like naming your son after Stuart Lubbock.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:07, Reply)

did you hear that half-shit joke from some years back
First, Dodi and Di, then Dando died. (order may be wrong)

Dido must be shitting herself
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:09, Reply)

I did. It's odd which jokes one can recall, isn't it?
I've heard some that have had me in fits but had left my brain within an hour, but every single shitty Ethiopian joke from school is indelibly imprinted on my mind, it seems...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:15, Reply)

there are about 5 jokes that I consistently remember
the sherlock holmes one, the tessa sanderson one, a couple about stevie wonder and

what's the difference between hitler and paula radcliffe? Hitler tried to finish the race.

Problem is, I like Philomela.
Having to explain that story... Eep.
