Baby names - Page 6

diminished · 08-30-2009, 12:46 AM

A couple of years ago, I had a friend at work.One of those sweet swayable teenage girl-types who was expecting, but the father of said sprog didn't want to know.

I almost succeeded in convincing her to call her child 'Asbo' (if a boy) or 'Asbette' if a girl.In the end she ran with something else, but I felt mine were both valid choices.

I love the name Gaius: though he'd be likely to hate it as a child (too close to gay) he'd probably appreciate it as an adult.

Just for the record, I didn't add it to the list--BD#2 did.

So . . . I get to stay? please? (puppy dog eyes)

monster · 09-01-2009, 09:28 AM

I think you should add Tomatina to the list

Shawnee123 · 09-01-2009, 10:00 AM

Thomasina!

Dana, is that pronounced Gay - us? If so - please see post #86 repeatedly :P

Cloud · 09-01-2009, 12:58 PM

It's pronounced Guy-us! A real "guy" name, ha!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-01-2009, 01:01 PM

It makes no difference how it's supposed to be pronounced when he's stuffed in a locker. UT is right on the money.

classicman · 09-01-2009, 01:01 PM
