Christ on a crutch, they're going to name the baby AXTON.

[Robb]

:D

What the hell?

I think babydaddy just likes the idea of calling his son "Ax." :eyes:

Tell me I'm a fuddy-duddy and this is a fine name.

[GOPisEvil]

1. After Hoyt Axton?

:shrug:

[Robb]

3. Unlikely

I think that'd get the blank stares I've grown to expect from that generation. :D

[GOPisEvil]

6. What's that? Speak into my good ear, boy!

Fuck, getting older sucks...

[Robb]

14. Talk into the horn, sonny!

[supernova]

9. Ha! I'd name a kid after Hoyt Axton!

:thumbsup:

[tuvor]

21. Who the hell would name their kid 'Hoyt'?!

[Deja Q]

2. Or "Ax Hole"

:spray:

[miss_american_pie]

4. As distasteful as we may find it

By getting that kid out of her she earns the right to call him whatever she wants. He can always change it later.

:hi:

[Robb]

7. Fair enough

Besides, I haven't been particularly helpful. My suggestions of Portia and Fug were ignored.










...that's funnier if you know his last name is Lee. :D

[miss_american_pie]

10. LOL

I used to threaten to name mine Jack Daniels or Tequila Margarita when the old folks gave me grief. ;)

[Robb]

13. I always wanted to name twins

Seamus and Hubris. But I knew only a handfull of the overly-educated would get it. ;)

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. Who the F&#( is naming their kid AXTON?

Who is THEY? or IT?

[elshiva]

8. Who is naming the baby that? I'm out of the loop.

[Robb]

12. Sorry

The 17 year-old (who I have to start calling the 18 year-old next week).

More background: She's my girlfriend's daughter.
Even more background: My girlfriend had her at 16.
Even even more background: My girlfriend has been known here from time to time as Robb's Wakeboard Instructor, for reasons that really aren't worth going into. :D

[elshiva]

15. Thanks. I thought it was some celebrity couple.

[Robb]

16. Well, in a manner of speaking it IS

...but only around here. :D

[MissB]

11. Is this the Tom and Katie baby?

[LeftyMom]

17. Before they get too attatched:

May I suggest that they give him the wierd name as a middle and a nice conventional first name? They can call him Axton if they want but he'd have the optionof being Joseph A. Lee or whatever for professional purposes if he prefers it. It worked out nicely with LeftyKid.

I've heard stranger things people want to name thier kids. Really, don't even get me started. :eyes:

[sakabatou]

18. My favorite Ax

[tuvor]

19. A rose by any other name...

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Any other tried-and-true cliches I can serve up? :D

[liberaltrucker]

20. Uh, who gives a fuck

flame away.

[Pale Blue Dot]

22. They may be giving the baby a strange name,

but you said "Christ on a crutch." Really, who's dorkier? :D

[Arugula Latte]

23. I have a relative who gave his/her baby a far worse name.

Though I can't say what it is lest s/he sees this.

[redwitch]

24. I had a baby name book 19 years ago that suggested.............

Cinderella as a possible girl's name.
And Guinevere.

I have met kids named Rufus, Baxter, Ferris and Tomorrow.

Axton? No big deal. Wait'll he goes to school and you see the list of classmate names! :-)

On edit, my neighbor's first name is Saxton! ( He doesn't go by it though).
