I didn't think little mermaid or the font (which is Arial), but of the angle...
of doom... aka destructive wrath. perhaps because of reading paradise lost late one night in high school. hmm. I think it's a kick ass name for a boy in this regard. |

Is the angle of doom acute or obtuse?

My name is Howard, most people call me Howie - I HATE that name! I tried to use my middle name, Paul, once, but I forgot to answer to it.

Coming up with a name for our son was probably one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make. Seriously, I think that should be a part of pre-marriage counseling: "If you have kids, what do you want to name them?" My husband very much wanted an extremely rare name - the problem was, the things he was picking were so out there that I knew they'd condemn our son to a lifetime of misery. We finally found a good compromise, but there were some tense moments.

My grandfather was named Adam, for a short spell. His mother and father got crushed by a train. One of those car on the tracks things. Only he survived.
So it goes. His adoptive mother changed his name to Gerald. Ugh. To be continued...... So it goes. |

My wife and I settled on "Hannah Morgan" about 12 years ago for a daughter's name... and then the Hannah Montana craze hit. Thank god we don't have any kids yet. :P
For some reason she's not thrilled with my suggestion for a boy's name: Raleigh Hall. I can't imagine why. |

Our two children are adopted so we all have to live with the choices of their slightly drug-addled birth parents. My son destested his made up name and reverted it to a recognisable root that is actually quite cool. Before he did this their names rhymed! Wtf.
I know of a child of a builder who is called Iris, her surname is Jay. In-jokes should be banned. Ditto, the boy called Max whose middle name really is Danger. |

Like I said, I'm sure things are different there. Here, though, it's basically like naming your kid "RefinedandEuropean," which of course means it's quickly becoming a favorite of the lowerclass. I've toyed with the name in fiction before, but its connotations have changed so much in the US that I really couldn't use it for that character anymore. It's endearing on anyone actually European, but like Xavier, has become an all-too-common "exotic" choice for people who...aren't. Sorry, I can never get behind a pet form, though. Molke is cool. It doesn't have any faux pretension around it, and I think middle names can be a little unusual. Everybody in the US loves Rose for some reason. Now that I've offended absolutely everybody... |

Heh yeah, I can imagine how Sebastian is "RefinedAndEuropean". But even here it has a little bit of a "trying too hard" feel to it. Shoot, every parent is trying to hard nowdays trying to find old and unique names. My sister named her kids Astrid and Irma. Both seem common now. Other common kids names are Alva, Malva and all kinds of weird names that could just as well come from a Tolkien book This list scares me (toplist of most common names given to newborn kids) http://www.alltforforaldrar.se/kul/namntoppen/2009 "Nova"? "Neo"? |

Nova FTW!
And you might even tie in an anti-obesity message to keep them below the Chandrasekhar limit. |

I can't tell you what it is. It would spoil the whole thing. And I have to make sure it works. But I think it will. OMG, it's, like, a fitting name for a hard-to-name guy, and a massive plot eureka moment all in one. OMG OMG OMG. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |
