Loosely translated that would be Meat. He should get all the girls, at least once with a name like that.
Why don't you get it over with and just name him Sue. "Liam" is going to be a name that gets him in fights. At least with "Sue," it'd be like the song. Jack, Woody (Woodrow) and Pearl are three more names we can't use with "Ocock." Thanks for helping me add to my list! Here's something else to think about--don't give them a name that is going to be easily mis-pronounced or lead to confusion. As they get older, when they're being introduced to different people at work and social events, if someone mispronounces their name during the introduction, the first impression your kid will give is correcting someone's "Mistake" because they said the goofy name wrong. Not a good first impression. Good advice, that 6/56 line. Brad
Harley. Victor. Ace. Smitty. Kelsey Hayes Machado. Duke. Alex. Pete. Think of some of your heroes or ancestors( in my case they're the same!). First, middle, and last have to work together. Choose wisely! Is there a prize for the winner?
These aren't car related, but I've always liked Dinsdale, and Renfield. Dinsdale was a hedgehog in a Monty Python routine.....Renfield was the crazy guy in the asylum next to Dracula's place. Give him either of those and he'll grow up knowing how hard life can be.................
1) LIAM is a very good, very traditional Irish name. 2) If you can't figure out how to pronounce "Liam", chances are you deserve to be corrected. 3) Why would it get him into fights?! That's ridiculous. I'm white, and my name is Jamal. Know how many fights that names gotten me into? 0.
Ha ha! That's what I call my buddy's four year old. His real name is Zack, but one day he was in the shop looking at the pictures in OSR and he pointed to an engine and I said, "That's a flathead" and he started laughing hysterically and said, "Flathead. That's a funny word." So now we call him Flathead Zack. Funny kid.
Why name him anything? Soon as he's old enough to type, he'll get on the HAMB and no one will know his real name anymore anyhow...
No kidding! I rescued a baby junkyard type/wild cat from work several yrs ago. She still doesn't have a name,,,,
Boy names is a hot topic around my house lately too as my brother just found out he's expecting a boy. FWIW, I second whoever said to be somewhat conservative with at least one name. If the kid has a crazy first name at least then he could be like J. Michael Machado or whatever if he went into a formal profession. One of my wife's childhood friends named his kid Gage Danger - so he could say, "Danger is my middle name". Dumbass. (I guess Gage is a "real" name that doubles as a car name though) And I have neighbors (who are great people) who have three boys - Chase, Shane, and Chance. Too close - give the kids some identity. You call one and they all come running because they're not sure which one you're looking for.
HOLY COW! Lots of good stuff here. I do think it's a little bit of a bad idea to name my kid something like flathead or camshaft, but I do like some of the ideas. We actually had Liam written down. My name is Spanish, but I don't look Spanish at so Juan or Dos would probably only get his ass kicked. Please keep them coming if you have any more. I will try to find this post and let people know the result (name) in March when the baby is due. Thank you.
Funny, back in college I had a dog named "Dammit" Nice dog, but none too bright. BTW, there was a "Race Banyon" in Johnny Quest I would second those suggesting some restraint and normalcy in a kid's name. I would also suggest reading the chapter about kids names in the book "Freakonomics", by Dubner and that other guy. They have a study on the corrilation between socio-economic status and first names. Interesting stuff. Later, Kinky6
OK. After some thought, I've got it. This will end the thread because nobody will be able to think of anything better than.... Nacho Machado. That, sir, is on the house.
*ahem* alrighty,folks...you gotta avoid the completely oddball names. trust me. My Sister's first name is Zodie. my little brothers first name is Ezra (but he goes by ezzy or e-z) my first name is Arlo. little words of wisdom here- the "boy named sue" scenario is funny shit, right up until it happens to you. I assure you, you will surely breed confidence, however, I can't help but wonder how different I would have turned out if my name was "Bill or Billy or Jack or Buddy...hell! anything but sue!" and it did cause more than it's fair share of arse whippings on my behalf. don't intentionally breed a mean ass. that said, there are lots of good names people have heard before (you have no idea how many times I have spelled out my name for people"L-U-X") Choose wisely. I offer the name of another famous Machado-Charlie. (or charles,chuck,chaz,chale',...etc etc etc.) Charlie Machado is a bike builder that was once known as the worlds fastest Mexican. he built Iron Head sportsters and was the first to break just about every record with a less than 100 cubic inch motor. then after some ribbing from some other guys, he started stroking them until he finally topped out at over 120 cubic inches. He's a cool guy, and it is one hell of a namesake- and he's still alive! the old coot just had another kid last year- and he's somewhere around 65. and he's still building BIG big twins.
I always thought the name Race, was a cool name. Nerverdunn51 here on the HAMB has a son named Blaise. Here are a few more: -Radir -Anson -Ardun -Zephyr -Hines -Winfield -Alexander
My Daughter is Cheyanne[chevy], my son Dakota[dodge},my dog is Shelby. Name the kid ---- Muncie Macado has a nice ring or grind to it.
We too are playing the name thing in our house. We are going the ethnic/ancestor thing. I will tell you the Scandinavian name we chose in Feb.............
