That's subtler, at least. Legolas Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM
My girlfriend also suggested (after me bringing up reservations)to name her Sophie Nichelle Olethea

Although while Sophie is a fine name, I have to wonder where on earth your girlfriend found "Nichelle" and "Olethea". :P

But even so, what's the point? Why does your hypothetical daughter need jokes or puns, subtle or less subtle, in her name?

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1226 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 806 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 920 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 833 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 858 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 760 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 828 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 328 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 344 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 820 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 825 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 777 Views
You'd have to make it a double-barrelled first name, otherwise it'd just be "Yellow White". Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:01 PM 816 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 348 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 361 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 335 Views
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but playing silly buggers with your children's lives is just not cool. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:54 PM 305 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 780 Views
except people will still know it LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:24:30 AM 862 Views
Yes you are. Tim - 04/08/2010 08:19:09 AM 797 Views
Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 875 Views
I think it's cute but probably a bad idea, she might get married young just to change it *NM* Isaac - 04/08/2010 12:04:40 AM 320 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 334 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 326 Views
At leat I'm inspiring. Joel - 04/08/2010 12:15:18 AM 754 Views
I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM 774 Views
this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 329 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 909 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 363 Views
My parents meant well, but I couldn't live up to the expectations and had to change it. *NM* Nate - 04/08/2010 12:36:44 AM 335 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 797 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 891 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 696 Views
how about China? *NM* damookster - 04/08/2010 01:47:07 AM 361 Views
Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 340 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 920 Views
On a more embarassing note, I love the name Virginia, that would be worse than snow by a mile ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:32:00 AM 780 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 814 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 890 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 812 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 362 Views

If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. Vivien - 04/08/2010 04:24:12 AM 793 Views
Re: If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:24:11 AM 725 Views
hopefully you will mary someone smart enough to stop this madness *NM* random thoughts - 04/08/2010 05:43:25 AM 313 Views
After reading other's responses. . . Amys - 04/08/2010 06:41:33 AM 795 Views
Everyone is being too nice. It's a stupid idea. And it's selfish. Leave "cute" names for your dog. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 08:01:35 AM 298 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 377 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 295 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 645 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 368 Views
Don't. Have it as her nickname, but not her real name. It's charming but also charmingly silly. *NM* Kallichore - 04/08/2010 09:47:34 AM 348 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 863 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 776 Views
My vote: no. Too much teasing. Nobody wants that. It'll be cool til she's 4. But that's it. *NM* Avendesora - 04/08/2010 03:02:15 PM 340 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 836 Views
I don't think this is a terribly good idea, for many of the reasons posted - but I have a suggestion Francie - 04/08/2010 06:03:44 PM 813 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 781 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 344 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 708 Views
