WDT 8/16/13. As always the entire WDT is NSFW. Wah.

For some reason, older names are really in vogue right now. Heard about a kid named Amos the other day. Amos wasn't even a good name when it was popular, but everyone I have told about it loves the name. For the record, it's supposed to be pronounced Amis, rather than Amohs.

On that note, my sister just had a kid and they named him Scott. Really normal, white kid name. What's funny is that you introduce the kid, and people are like, "Oh, what? How do you spell that?" You say, "S-C-O-T-T" and they say, "Oh SCOTT! Like...Scott! Just Scott?"

Yes, his fucking name is Scott. Not Scote, not Sicott, not Scotta, it's Scott. Apparently boring names are really exciting now.

 

You want the kid to achieve super powers? Name him Steve. Not some yuppie bullshit like Fuh-roan. Not Tad. Not Austin, Skyler, Kyle, Cervil, or Austin*. Steve. Fuckin' Steve to be exact. The Fuckin' is silent, because he doesn't *need* to talk about it.

As soon as he's born give him a beer, he'll figure out the rest from there.

Or fuck it, just name him Abe Vigoda.

*I said Austin twice. Because it's a fucking tool name that my tool cousin named his tool kid. Note, he also named another boy something from that Carlin rant. Might as well have just called the kid Glory Hole.

 

What's the issue with GoT names? There's regular names (Jaime, Jon, Gregor, Robert), slightly different but still normal sounding names (Robb, Eddard, Benjen), clearly different but still decent sounding names (Tywinn, Tyrion, Theon), and pure fantasy stuff (Viserys, Rhaegar). Lots to pick from.

 

Jon? Seems like there are a lot of Jon's out there. You're going to be very busy.

 

We need to know the first letter of your last name or whatever last the name the kid will have, so his initials can spell out something cool. Like, I hope his last name starts with B so I can suggest Thomas Indigo B, or TiB for short.

Otherwise, I suggest:

Artaxerxes, Vladimir or Steve.

 

I agree 100%. Steve is a name for a bad ass mother fucker. Not that faggoty "Stephen/Stephan" shit either.


Buddy of mine just named his son Magnus and at first I was thinking "Da fuq?" but the more I've heard it, its grown on me.

 

I've always been partial to Wyatt and Hank.

For the love of God, don't name him any variation of Aiden, Jayden, Hudson, or Jackson. Gross.

 

Or Trevor.

 

My dad and his brothers were named Phil, Kenny, Dale, Tom, Tim, and John. My grandfathers were Charlie and Albert. I had a great uncle named Cletus too...

The one "different" name that I like is what my cousins named their son: Orion. It just sounds cool, and he could say he was named after a badass Metallica song.

Some other cousins of mine just named a son Jaxon. Wasn't my recommendation...

 

How very Texan of you.

 

My white trash cousin named his kid Howdy. Congrats. You've destined your son to become a rodeo clown flunky.

 

Actually my dad's side is from upstate NY and those are family names.

 

I've said this before but my mom was a first grade teacher for years, and she had two sons from one family in her classes. The oldest was named Hunter, the younger one Fisher, and their youngest brother was named Trapper. They should have a fourth child named Warden.

 

Boy, this place has become all grown up. I remember when abneretta used to pop in to the WDT with a picture of a beer can in between her boobs. Now she's getting advice for naming her kid. Hey, that's an idea! You can name him Miller. Or Bud.

 

Grown up? I call that decay. This is very sad. Don't point out things like this in the future, since registration is locked and we can't bring in new girls to post boobs.

 

Or Poacher, because when you have that many kids one of them's bound to be a bad seed.

 

My girlfriend knows someone who named their child Khalesi.

 

Now I could post a picture of my pregnant/breastfed a kid for 16 months boobs. Or I could never do that. I like you guys too much for that.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

I'm with you on the -ayden rhyming names. That's a trend I don't understand. I'm also avoiding E names because I hate how everyone thinks they have to have a letter theme for all their kids. No thanks.

Our last name is one syllable and starts with an S.

 

Does this also happen at your bar? Because, if it does, could you give me directions to your bar?

 

The latest craze seems to be people giving their daughters last names for first names. Harper, Madison, Addison, McKenna, Reagan and Tatum* are a few I've seen lately.










*Fucking Tatum? Really?
