Less geeky name for a male child?

[BlueIris]

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. Is this a logic puzzle or something?

LOL...

[BlueIris]

3. Sort of.

No, seriously, which name conjures up the least-geeky image to you, as a man?

[BigMcLargehuge]

6. Bishop

[BlueIris]

11. Excellent.

One I can (maybe) use!

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. just don't give him the middle name "of Bath and Wells"

to avoid confusion

[BlueIris]

16. Gotcha.

Wouldn't want the poor kid to wind up confused about anything, other than why his mom had such an opposition to more common names.

2. I might be weird, but I like both Bishop and Pierce

But I guess Pierce is less geeky? :shrug:

[BlueIris]

4. Isn't Bishop a great name?

Pierce was the last name of my favorite elementary school teacher, so that's the inspiration for that one.

5. Bishop Pierce _____

I like that. :D

[BlueIris]

7. Seriously?

Good, because I think it could work.

8. Uh you do know about the playground rule don't you?

You have to put yourself back in the 3rd to 6th grade mindset.

Check all possible rhymes and cultural references.

Let's go down the list.

Bishop-as in "polishing the Bishop" trust me any kid with a older brother is going to be cracking that joke all the time.

Lorne- NO just simply NO

Pierce- many references to body piercing and the older they get the more disgusting the references will become.

I say no to all of them. How about Daniel or Jack or Mookie?

10. plus "smack the Bi+ch-up"

[BlueIris]

13. Oh, no.

That went completely by me. Oops. Man, that is terrible.

12. You just got done talking about a 3rd grade mindset...

and then you recommend "Jack"? :silly:

[BlueIris]

14. Yeah, I...can't see myself going with "Jack."

Or anything else that has been used more than ten million times.

17. IT's a classic name

and delivery room nurses will tell you that Jack Henry Harry and any old timey names are a refreshing change from the Carson Taylor Palmer and other names everyone uses so they can be different.

9. Pierce, definitely...

it makes me think of Pierce Brosnan, who is anything but geeky
