It’s been done. A guy I dated had a friend who had identical triplets. Yup, you guessed it. Made the big paper here in West Tennessee 🙂

The user named **Vibrotronica** always catches my eye, ever since my boyfriend (who is a percussionist) thought that would be a wonderful IRL name for his daughter. (Please, no offense if that is your real name!)

There’s also a guy here at my school named Panagio (it’s Greek) - I love it, it just rolls off the tongue. Of course, _he_ is Greek, so it’s ok…my child would be named something like Panagio Jones.

If I’m gutsy when I have children, I’ll give my son a Scottish name like MacArthur and call him Mac. But with my luck he’d have a weight problem…and, well, junior high kids are ruthless.

As an aside, my mother wanted to have a daughter named Tamara Ann when she and my dad got married, and call her Tammy. Fortunately her mother talked her out of it by pointing out that she (possibly I) would soon become Tammy Annie Anthony. Say it out loud, it’s funny.

Friends gave their little daughter four given names – the fourth is the mother’s maiden name – and while the first two are quite normal/popular the third is “Danger”.

Yep… Danger is her middle name. 🙂

(Yes, seriously. Kinda cool IMO and if she never wants to tell anyone then she still has a surfeit of names to choose from).

I would love to name a daughter Heloise Kathrine just so her nickname could be Hello Kitty. It would go so great with **'punha’s** last name too. She’d be HK H-K.

Obsessed? Me? 😃
