A friend of mine used to swear he’d name his kid **Slagthor** if its boy, **Slagthena** if its a girl. Needless to say this notion got the spousal veto. ---

I didn’t think it was that weird until you pointed it out… That’s my brother’s name, b. 1979. And it’s actually not the most unusual name among the 3 of us. It seems to be just on the cusp of becoming popular, which puts him way ahead of the curve. ---

I don’t have a real answer for this, but when I was a bit younger I would play femmy so I could nail the F\*\*hags (not to be insulting but it’s integral to the story), and the girl I was dating at the time who was about 10 years older than I, said if she had a son she’d name him Junist. I said, “If you name him Junist he’s going to get beat up.”, to which she replied, “Any son of mine is probably going to get beat up anyway.” ---

**Guin** I’ll see your **Potter Anakin** and raise you a/an ? **Anakin Voldemort.** and his twin brother **Adolf Mussolini** \*\*. There is a daycare place here that has a message board sign out front that usually has a _Happy Birthday: Jane Whatever and Bobbie Whatsyourface._ About 11-12 years ago, I swear to the FSM, there was a **Happy Birthday Anakin Burkhart** \* This was before the first half of Star Wars came out and anakin was still obscure, except to fanwankery. \*It was definately a german last name. But, BUT who names their kid after a boy that becomes a megolomanic and destroys a planet and stuff? I mean, srsly. \*\*Oooooh, user name ! ---

[QUOTE=Chimera] I’m surprised I haven’t heard of any little girls named **Prius** yet. Nor, after the popularity of the Harry Potter movies, of any little boys named **Sirius**. [/QUOTE] I once had to deal with a customer service rep from Chrysler when my concord was giving us crap. The reps name was, as I thought, Serious. Then after I hung up phone and got over my hatred of my car problems, I realized he was probably named after the star and it was spelled different. Or maybe he was greek. So, to Serius who probably doesn’t work at Chrysler anymore, I apologize for being snippy that day. It wasn’t Chryslers fault that the transmission went on my car…it was a freakin’ mouses. You have a cool name. ---
