If I were to have a kid the chances of him/her having a very Irish name is high to quite high.

yep, they are all bird names (Phoebe too), that was a heavy consideration for her name. I guess maybe we could have named the boys Hawk and Martin...

My wife has aunts (by marriage) who is named Urlene and who has sisters named Shirlene, Lurlene and Madelene. I'm hoping those don't make a comeback. The hipster chick who cuts my hair named her daughter Irene, which I like.

I like Madeline, not sure I've seen Madelene. That rhyming sister bunch is pretty rough.

Makes sense. Hey... By any chance do you know the street he grew up on and his favorite pet?

shoot, you know what? no. i don't.


...today's goal: learn his stripper name.
 
The story I was always told is that my great uncle was about a year old before he had a name. My 3 year old grandfather took to calling the baby "Jeeter" and my great-grandparents, having had no other stroke of inspiration, decided that name would be good enough and made it official. My great uncle later insisted folks call him "Jay", but as an adult he nicknamed every family member and never cared to know or remember the person's given name. My dad was "Buck", my mom was "Flossie", my brother was "Oscar" and I was "Jabbo".

Incidentally, my grandfather was named Tullious, so it's not like Jeeter was that bad by comparison. I guess that's what turn-of-the-century rural Alabama does to some folks.

So how's Eunice doing?

I have a great aunt Eunice!
My grandma and her siblings had the best names - Undine (Deenie), Edouarda (Edgie), Elizabeth (Libba), and Harvey.
Lots of Helen/Mary/Elizabeths in there, too.

My preferences were D'Brickashaw for a boy and L'Brickashaw for a girl. My negotiating leverage was not very strong, however.

I also have a Great Aunt Eunice. Weird, maybe we're related ;)
 
Timely since we've been talking names and thinking we should just pick something already. Basically 99% sure I know what it's going to be but just have been dragging our feet.
