Okay everyone, my son has been getting really interested in the Dope, and being a kid of great taste and wisdom, wants to join up! Now, the only problem is, we can’t come up with a cool enough name for him. He likes cats, dogs, wolves, trucks, machinery and cadets. Any suggestions? Now as I may have mentioned, the kid is dyslexic, but possesed of a great imagination, and a fair dose of intelligence, if I do say so myself! I will be reading SELECTED posts to him and writing out his replys–straight dictation, no I won’t be doing any of the composition. Just remember the spelling and typo’s will be mine, though!
So, Dopers, there it is. You don’t get a chance to name a twelve year old too often, so go for it!
Ye of little faith
We’re so going to curropt this poor child’s mind. One example being the “Without your pants on!” thread 
I was going to comment that you need to be 13 to join, but then I remembered you only need your parents’ permission and it looks like his mother is pretty gung ho about it.
SELECTED THREADS! SELECTED THREADS!
He’ll be thirteen in January anyway. Besides, he’s got a fifteen year old brother and a dad that plays in a band. Believe me, he could probably shock YOU!
Hmmmm…here goes…Iron Wolf, Kid4X4, Boy Wonder, Wolfboy, KitKat, Bad Dawg…gettin corny yet? Ummmm…Werewolf, Dire Wolf (I like wolves too…cant ya tell?) Well…there’s my offering…take it for what its work my dear. Cheers!!
How about Zoo’s Deduction? You know, the IRS deduction zoogirl and zooboy get?
The age limit here is 13, with or without parental approval. The kid’s going to have to wait until January.

Well, I was wrong. Thanks bibliophage.
Okay, at least that gives us time to come up with a truely awesome name! He’ll be seeing ya on the seventeenth. We can do a combination “Welcome” and “Happy Birthday” thread. At least there won’t be any question about his permission slip!
zoodependent?
Since he’s been put on hold, I think his name should incorporate the phrase “long-awaited.”
But that’s just me being literal.
Wind-Up Canine
Machine Truck Cadet MeowWoofHowl
ZooSpawn
I dunno, it just has a good ring to it

You’re kid’s twelve, and you haven’t named him yet? What do the kids call him at school, “Hey, you!”?
