Thread: The names Kirk, James Kirk.

That's awesome.

My Wife and I had this same "conversation" early in our marriage after almost naming two cats "Divorce" and "Separation". We came to the agreement that a kid or two would be even harder so go ahead and start deciding long before it's time.

Sounds like ya'll are doing the right thing - talking about options.

My Wife wanted to name the boy "Orie Ren" after the character in "North and South" - she had the TV Guide cover photo taped to the dash of her car. I said if his first name was Orie then his middle name had to be Orenthal because all the kids were going to call him "Orieo" anyway.

She agreed - and no, we did not name him that - but no more Orie.

I wanted Shawn for a boy's name - first or middle - I didn't care so we came up with Zachary Shawn and Shawn Paul as the two main options.

I wanted Danielle for a girls name - again not caring about where - so we came up with Danielle Breanne and Betina (pronounced Ba-Tina) Danielle as the two options.

So plan on compromising because I believe in most western cultures the Mother has final legal say on the childs name. Even if they don't, you got to live with 'em afterward.

An old friend said upon his wife's first pregnancy that he wanted to name the baby, if a girl, Meona, Meona Nose and were it a boy, Ignor.Then they got divorced. I never found out if it was on account of his choice of names, or if their medications wore off, or if they started new prescriptions.

My cousin's name is James, and he's a total pu$$y. This guy I work with is a James and he's a gimmick fruitbar. I hate them both. I'm a huge Star Trek fan and I love Kirk, but think of the short cut nicknames. Jamie for starts. I don't have any kids(um.....) yet so don't listen to me, but think of the guy who named his son Hunter only to later have a figure skater. But if I do know one thing about women, it's if you want the relationship to work, give her her way most of the time. Good Luck.
