So it's coming up soon... we hope... and I've already decided on the name, should it be a boy, but I figure what the heck... YOu can all try to name Ray's child... So what would you call him (or heaven forbid, her)?
--Ray

Maybe I should ask prior to soliciting suggestions, what your own children are named?
(I have a friend who's daughter's name is Boston... and if that's not bad enough, her last name is... Bean... (I kid you not) They're having another girl, and they're naming her "Seven" (I assume after the salad)...)

My two sons are named "Nikita" (most people call him Nick) and "Elya" which is Russian for "Elijah". They're a bit weird, but not as out there as the suggestions I've seen so far in this thread.

I have to roll my eyes when people do this. Why stop there? Have five more kids: named pinto, green string, kidney, garbanzo, and navy. Sheesh!

Familiar form of Billy Bob Bubba, Billy Joe Bubba, Billy Bubba Bubba, and a number of other compound names;
Second part of the popular chewing gum Hubba Bubba
Historical derivation: name of a famous knight templar turned robber baron on the Rhein River, Sir Bubba the Inbred, due to the reputation of being his own grandpa by reason of some unique genealogy too convoluted to recount here
Usage in film spoofery: reputed to have once been a Red-Neck Jedi Warrior who then became a Dork Lord of the Sip and coin the phrase of "Shoot son! Come on over to the Dark Side, it'll be a hoot!"
Works for male name, and can be feminized by the simple addition of the suffix -ina.
Easy for young children to learn, culturally diverse, and should your child ever cross paths with Don Johnson playing the role of Detective Nash Bridges, he'll know he is the Bubba being spoken to by Detective Bridges...

He's his own grandpa?! Go to this web site and we can sing his song together!
Now many many years ago when I was 23 I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her & soon the 2 were wed This made my dad my son-in-law & changed my very life My daughter was now my mother cause she was my father's wife To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy My little baby then became a brother in law to dad And, so, became my uncle though it made me very sad For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother Of the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course was my step-mother
Father's wife then had a son that kept him on the run Now he became my brother, for he was my father's son My wife was now my mother's mother and it makes me blue Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grand-child For every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild And now I have become the strangest case you ever saw As the husband of my own grandmother; I'm my own grand-pa
