I like 'em. 🙂

I never wanted kids, but if I found myself becoming a father, I’m sure I’d give my kid a unique, non-traditional name.

You know, like Dweezil or Filibuster or Brigadier or something.

I still feel kinda bad for that Swedish couple that wanted to name their daughter Metallica; that would have been a cool name for a girl.

I know someone who named their twins Kindle and Oscar, so nothing surprises me now! 🙂

I don’t think I want to be a father, but if I did, I think naming them would be one of my favorite parts. I have a list of names I like. I was discussing this with a girl I’m dating and we decided if we ever had kids they would be Roberta and Linus.
