I once had a dream about a guy named… Edwinton Almania. Try it. Say it out loud a few times. Doesn’t it just flow together well? I wouldn’t give it to a baby, but I think it’s kind of awesome. And the guy in the dream was pretty hot. 🙂 ED-win-ton. Al MANE-i-a. Ed for short, of course! ---

Well I have a few ideas, you can choose a ridiculous sounding Alpha-male names that pathetic writers use in Soap Operas and crap fiction Brace McFadden Or you can go for a typical English name that is rarely used in America, kinda cool Alistair Huges Then there’s sitcom characters. **George Oscar Bluth** How awesome would it BE to call yourself GOB (pronounced like the bible guy job) Then you get George Michael Bluth, which is almost as good, because you could blame things on the singer-songwriter Phillip J. Fry is also a great one. Or go for a weird ethinic mix? Roberto Changstien Scandinavian names are always cool, A lot of the Norwegian names come from their nordic folklore Tor is an awesome name. Tor Johannesen Also you could go with an Irish name. I’d like to know what kind of name you prefer? I think it’s important to know what ethnicity you would prefer it to come from. William Windsor. They might make you king! ---
