Help me name my critter.
patty:
Interestingly our boys name was Christopher, but we had two girls so it didn't work. How about:
Travis
Trevor
Jacob (Jake)
Mitchell (Mitch)
Personally I think Trevor Odgen has a nice ring. Good luck! :)
In Canada eh:
Terminator
How about Winchester? ;)
On another thought
Congratulations to you and your wife

Squire Roach ----
Mordecai Dempsey ---
Quentin John ---

Don't feel bad in high school I new a Bricklin Wall and his sister Cinder. True story, they went by Brick and Cindy. I think somebodies parents were into a few controlled substances
Chas:
Let's get practical.
You want a name that ends with a vowel sound, so you can really sing it out. You know, for when you catch him tying his sister's hair to the dog's tail or whatever, and you need to get his attention.
I named both of my kids with names that end in 'n,' and you just really can't build up any steam when you holler a name like that.
Also, you must plan on all possible nicknames, which most folks who have offered names here have mentioned. And you must think about words that the name rhymes with. That sadly leaves out Rick, Hutt, Frass, Ferd, Jed, Rawls, Bitts, Jainus and of course for the ladies, Delores. There could be thousands of possibilities, and new slang terms do appear, so you may not want to worry too much about this one. In ten years there could be a totally offensive name for some body part that rhymes with Chris, for all we know.
Also, you should not be afraid to include common or trendy names. Looking for the uncommon can really end up in a stinko name. In fact, I have some relatives who gave their kids really stupid names because they wanted ‘unique’ names. And using numbers instead of letters is really tough on spellcheckers. “J3SS3” is also tough on the eyes. In fact, any unique spelling of a common name should be very carefully thought through.
You probably know folks who gave the offspring strange names, then blamed it on the family, “it was my father’s name.”
Of course, Dad hated it, never forgave his folks, and everyone called him something else all his life, but nobody seems to make fun of a person’s name if it belonged to grandpa.
In reality, I suppose you could use any strange name you want and just say, “it was my mother’s first-cousin’s uncle’s half-brother’s pet name for the little sister who later died” or whatever.
If the spousal unit comes up with a real loser – and there are worse names than Jesse – you can always appease her by making it the kid’s middle name. In fact, why use just one middle name? We didn’t. Our son has two middle names. He’s big enough for three, but we settled. One was the above-mentioned father’s name Peyton – (my wife’s dad) and the other was my father’s name, which also happens to be my middle name, so it is getting much easier for him to steal from our bank accounts as he gets older.
I hope this gives you some ideas.
Or you could just call him Chas – which is short for Charles, of course. Most people with that name are actually very cool.
