There have been few events of such utter and horrifying magnitude as to
render me almost completely incapable of speech. Recently however,
something has come up that has nearly knocked the blathering straight the
fuck out of me. In fact after discovering this event, all I could really do
was turn an alarming shade of cold white and mutter….holy shit.
I’m not sure it’s cosmically a good thing, and there are a few signs
pointing at this event as a sign of the end times.
Merry Widow and I are havin’ a bebe’
An actual, flesh and blood critter…harbinger of doom, spawn of Dolo and
Merry…I’m thinking of calling it Merry Dolidow. I remember watching Schiz
muscle through her event like a sweet little bulldozer made out of iron and
sheer unadulterated guts. I really admire her tenacity and strength.
Particularly since right now I feel like all the fire is draining
completely out of me. I can’t even formulate the emotions I’m experiencing
right now, they blur in like a wet dog and mutate into a pot of burning
astro-turf before I can figure where to put them.
I think I’m happy, but worried…really worried. Eh.
It isn’t something I can’t handle though, I’m fairly sure of it. But holy
crap, I’m having a kid. I’m twenty-two, a drifter, a troublemaker and a
certified madman…my child is doomed to inherit my sense of humor, or at
least a reasonably twisted fascimily thereof. Hopefully it gets it’s momma’
smarts, cause god knows I can’t spare any.
I think the knews might have leaked out here and there, but I’m making the
formal declaration here ma’self. Damn, I might as well declare war on the
human race.
Babies are scary!
Fifteen sweaty rednecks with sawed-offs and an Oedipus complex are less
intimidating.
I’m cutting my time in Seattle ridiculously short because of this new
event, which seems like a total damn shame, because I was really starting
to love it, but I gots ta’ build a house and all.
The hardest part about the whole thing so far is trying to think up a good
name…for a boy I was figurin’ on William Grail, or maybe Zonk.
Girl-wise I always wanna go with something nifty like Violence, but I don’t
know if that’ll click.
I kinda wish we could’ve just got a cat, but what the hell…
You can’t teach cats to sing naked in front of your in-laws.
Just when I was getting bored…>sigh< Good thing the kid’s moms hot
huh?
I need names people! Names!

Well there are those from the chat:
Roan, Colt, Jane Maire, etc...
How about:
Jessy, Fox, Murdoc, Seth, Nevyn, Cole
Or you could have the bebe put some names in a hat and let the kid pick.

Congratulations Dolo and Widow!!!
Anyway, as far as a name goes, despite gender...it would be nice for the
name to be Reason. We need to bring Reason back into this world.
(okay, kidding on that name halfway...but you guys get my sense of humor,
right?)
Female names: Shadow, Kali, Lilian (or Lilith), Arathi, Iriyana (made that
up kinda)...if you want more common names, let me know.
Male names: Shadow, Vincent, Lucius, Justinian, Daemon, Helel (for morning
star), Jin......again, if you want more common English names, let me know,
lol.
Hope my name choice is......interesting.
Forgive the spacing. Been doing some community service...

Lets see.... *breaks out the books on occult stuff*
Hmmm... well, if this baby is a sign of the apocalypse, then I don't see a
problem with Damien, Beelzebub, Juggernaut, Baal, Asherah, Diablo,
Mephisto...
Honestly, I'd want to name my kid Matthias if it was a boy, and Lorelei is
one of the most beautiful female names I've ever heard. Mythology is
always a good place to get names, but be warned: Agamemnon isn't a unisex
name, nor does it's bearer live a happy life. ____________________ The perfect mind is like a mirror. It grasps nothing. It expects nothing.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
In all honesty, I'm not too worried anymore. I mean, sure, there are little
ones, bt our families have been super cool. Come December, I'm done in
Spokane and I'ma heading back down home to CA. Hopefully by then I'll have
taught our little podling to flip people the bird, so that a certain school
of ed will get a quadruple deuce as we blast the flying fuck out of
here.
The only thing that really bogs me down now is the realization that I am
going to be extremely pregnant in the middle of a Spokane summer. *whimper* ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Dolo, I'm going to warn you, I had a friend in highschool who wanted an
"unusual" name for their child, and when she told me they wanted to name
her "midnight raven" I almost beat up a pregnant girl. They changed it to
something horrid, but passable, but for fucks sake you can be creative
without making your child a walking target or get the "boy named sue"
complex, cuz someday, you'll be sorry.
If you want my take, I'll email some names I like and names I"ve heard that
sound good.
Oh, and CONGRADULATIONS! ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

I do think the name Violence is a great name for a kid. Below are a few of
my own personal favorites. (I prefer the less common, but meaningful
names.)
*For Girls*
Defiance
Harmony
Passion
*For Boys*
Antiquity
Bastion
Chaos

Bettie: I'm on an entirely different page than you are when it comes to
names. I think the worst disservice a parent can do to a child on a planet
of six and a half billion competitors is to give them an imminently
forgettable name. Lots of parents puss out as soon as they think of that
first playground beating... but honestly, a name that stands out from the
pack will serve a child a lot better in the long run and help them to
individuate themselves more quickly and completely than their peers. Of
course, a boring name is still better than a friggin' stupid name... and
"Midnight Raven" is not interesting or unique... it's just friggin' stupid.
(I'm thinking of how many "Moonbeams" out there wish their parents had
been more creative in the 1960's instead of just pretending they were being
creative).
Dolo: Congratulations and condolences on the upcoming parenthood. It
won't score me any brownie points, but I have to be entirely honest and
take the flak that will invariably ensue: I have discovered that it makes
no difference the colour of a person's skin, what language they speak or
what religion they practice; I fucking hate kids.
That said, my vote would be for "Pruina" if it's a girl and "Sprog" if it's
a boy. You can also change those names and genders up... gods know I
do.

Im going to weigh in with mono here. creative and unusual names rock.
Everyone i know that has a really great name loves there name no matter
what trouble it caused them in school. I think it does give you an
advantage in life to never been one of three sarahs or johns in your class.
But it is hard to find the right name for a kid, it really is.
I have a really unusual name in real life, far stranger than my screen name
and i love it. all thru school my teachers had trouble saying it so they
called me "ms" instead. I got to be special and treated with respect more
and i think that lead (to some small degree) to me being so "Snotty and
Pretentious ". But dispite that little problem, I love haivng a name no one
else has. I love that my mom and dad took the time and the inspiration to
name me something that special.
My dad has a less than usual name, but my poor mom is named mary. and i had
friends growing up named things like ocean song and sweetthang (yes with an
"A" not and "I") and river and leaf and allll those other hippie names. I
even stood out from them. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

Congrats to
Dolo and Merry!
Nothing wrong with unusual names, but "sweetthang" is just horrific. Give
the kid a name that sounds different, not like you were stoned when s/he
was born. :S ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |

If someone had told me that Dolo was gonna have a kid, I wouldn't have
believed them. But hearing it from the horses' mouth, I guess I gotta
believe it.
Anyway, I'm with Mono on this one. Too many of the damn little buggers
running around already. Hopefully yours will be different. (a damn little
bugger with napalm?)
As for names... Just give her/him a number. If he/she wants a real name
(whatever -that- means these days...) let her pick for herself. But not
when he/she's teenage-angsty... That's just asking for trouble. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

I'm not ever poppin' one out, so you can steal one of my favs:
Vincent (looks like it is v. popular here)
Jared or Jareth - which I later found out was going to be my name if I
would have been a boy. Dammit.
Astarte, Aten, Sirius/Sothis - From Egyptian/ancient mythology
Raven, Ursula, or other animal inspired names
Mahala - arabic I think
I like it when family ties back into the name somehow...either carrying on
the mother's maiden name (although lots of people don't change names
anymore when they get married), or incorporating a deceased family
member/ancestor.
I absolutely hate my birth name. Not only is it very common, but it is
meaningless too. I vote for something unique. ____________________ Wind me up and make me crawl to you, tie me up until I call to you. |

Hey congrats on the babe!
Thought I'd pull out a little quote from one of my fave movies at a time
like this....
You remind me of the babe!
What babe?
The babe with the power.
What power?
The Power of VOODOO!
Who do?
You do...
Do what?
Remind me of the babe!
(name that movie...)
I think the coolest name EVER for a girl is Rosaline (Willy Shakespeare got
that one from me). I also like Mirth.
You could always go for Maybelline and LoReal, or better yet, Revlon....
haha juust being facetious. For a goy I definitely suggest Braden and
Bastion (good call Starlight).
Congrats and Good Luck!! ____________________ Does anybody feel this way? Does anybody feel like I do? Though half of me

Mono I get you, but usually when people try to be "creative" with names,
they come up with shit like "midnight raven". Another young pregnant girl
and her boyfriend were thinking of naming their daughter "deception" or
"dimentia" (and she got pregnant when they "broke up"...anyone thinking
what I was thinking? If the kid's weener didn't have the equivalent of the
Midas Touch I'd be even more suspicious than I already was). Uh...no.
They settled on "artisha" which is WAY cute, and still "creative" without
being utterly STUPID.
Away from idiot names from people TRYING to sound inventive (like most of
the ones I ever knew), here's some names that were in the "wierd" category
but were "good" fun names and attatched to rather delightful people who
enjoyed them.
Delight (imagine the little old lady who had this name. She was SO
CUTE)
Wee-Wee (3 mo premature and weighed only a pound and a half)
Zowie (not pronounced zoe, but ZOW-WEE!!)
Sarin (yes, like the nerve gas)
Zephyr (the daughter of a friend's friend)
Cipher (another girl I met in a gay bar)
Zalia (random person...I love looking at credit cards)
Terran (michael's nephew)
Dajah (a bitchin girl I know)
Saraphim ("Phimie")
....and of course there's always Dweezle and Moon Unit...I still don't know
what to make of that...
You'll know the "right" name when it hits you, go with your gut and you
won't go wrong.

Man, I hope you don't have a girl, cause you'd be death on boyfriends.
The problem with strange names is not generally with the names themselves,
it's with the closed minded assholes that the other parents are raising.
And yes, a six year old can be an incredibly closed minded asshole, I work
with enough of them to know. A perfect example, and great children books,
is called Chrysanthemum. Don't get stupid and name a kid Gaylord Focker
cause that's just asking for trouble.
And, as one of the three Sara's in any given situtaiton I can tell you that
there is absolutely nothing I hate more than meeting someone nice, someone
I like, someone I could chill with, and, in the deciding moment when I tell
them my name hearing the ever dread prhase: "Your name is Sara? That's
great, my name is Sara, too."
I'm all for secret name though. There should be the name that goes on the
court documents, the name she might be forced to use, but her real name
should be personal and known only to you and her and merry. Numerous
magical cultures believe that the real name, the personal name is so sacred
the knowing that name could give one absolute control over a person. A name
is a powerful thing, and it will stay with your child for a very long time.
As for the actual name, I got nothing to suggest. If I were going to give
someone a name I would name them Xyanaya. It's from a old, and from what I
understand, dead ancient South American tongue and it means Always. I think
that would be a cool name for a boy or a girl.
