Oscar? WTF?

You need way more anger. Mention garbage cans. Shriek about about it. Make a spectacle.

Oscar sucks.

I have a friend named Brock and he's gotten a lot of pussy.

There's also Oscar Madison ... it's a long way from a great name or one with good associations. I think it's kind of like naming your kid Henrietta or something. Sure, it's a name, but ... eh, it's very old-school, like a century ago old school, and not very sexy.

Oscar is an awesome name.

I agree. It's far superior to Ernie and Bert, but no quite as awesome as Grover.

Hahah! Well, compared to Snuffleupagus, their original choice, it's pretty golden...

I was fine with James, Jim, Jimmy or Jay. My wife really really wanted it to be "J.D." Well, I hate hate hate the initial thing, and I think J.D. sounds like a redneck and/or a mechanic.

Did you tell her that it won't matter because his friends will call him whatever they decide to call him, and it likely won't be close to what you want him to be called?

Oscar can go around telling women, "Hey, come get some of the big O"

But maybe you should Nelly-ize it and make it Oscurre

We have friends who have actually named their children:

Brock

My brother's name is Brock, and I happen to think it's a pretty cool name. Ass.

Who care's what they think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, we don't, but we're both just stunned at the way that they respond. It starts as astonishment and ends in anger and they are incredibly shrill the entire time.

The reaction is solidifying Oscar as the choice in my mind.

Don't name your kid based on spite. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

For both our kids we kept names a secret so we wouldn't have to deal with the nonsense.
