I almost named my kids George, Henry AND/OR Frank. Fight the brave fight, your kids will thank you. But instead my boys are Tom (Henry as middle name) and Walter. But I’m from southern california an since we’re not as righteous as Utahns (sp) perhaps I’ll change their names if we ever move to Utah.

Riley, Parker, Trey, Seaver (aka “The Beav”).

Although my wife is fighting me like crazy, I want to name my children “old people names” so that by the time they are in Jr. high all the said old people will be gone and the names will be new again. Example: Frank, Henry, George, Hennessey

PS – Chris H, your son is a stud.

He has not gotten beaten up at recess (helps that he is the biggest kid in his class). The University of Utah sweatshirt that he wears to school (in Provo) causes a lot more playground trouble than his name.

Awesome. My dad will be thrilled to learn that you are related to the actual nurse in that story. He’s told that story many times over the years.

More than once my wife has put Placenta on an application for a birth certificate.

yes, my wife was the delivery nurse and she filled out the application for the birth certificate asking the mother three different times how she wanted to spell the name. My wife suggested dropping the “I” in the spelling but was angrilly rebuffed. She was working at St. John’s Medical Center in STL at the time.
