I really need three good sources on the topic of naming.
Is there a site where you can find literary criticisms on naming in Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison?

What is an appropraite gift to give at a jewish baby naming ceremony?
Im attending a baby naming cermony for my sister's daughter. My mother and i were wondering if we should bring a gift and what would be an appropriate gift to give. Thanks for your help!!
What is an appropraite gift to give at a jewish baby naming ceremony?
It doesn't have to be anything special. If youre getting a gift it should be for the baby maybe a cute outfit or somethign the baby may use. But it's just a baby naming and when I've attended we've never given anything in particular.
Reply:I think just any baby gift will do. If you need some ideas, here are 2 very helpful articles with lots of great suggestions:

When did they start naming hurricanes?
Be as specific as possible. And what are the parts of a ship? I'm writing a book and i need to know.
When did they start naming hurricanes?
Naming hurricanes actually goes back to the 19th century, however it wasn't done officially by the National Hurricane Center until 1953. All the storms had female names until 1979, when male and female names were used interchangably
Reply:Well, being a sailor myself, I can help you with the boat part. A few of the basics: front of the boat--bow, back of the boat--stern, left side--port, right side--starboard. The area where the steering wheel and all of the lines for the sails are located is commonly called the "cockpit". Now, it depends if you mean just a boat, which used technically means there is no sail, or if you mean a sailing yacht.
For sailing yachts: Normally have two sails, the main sail (attached to the "boom", which protrudes from the mast, which is the tall pole that goes really high), which is attached to the mast and boom. This helps to balance out the keeling (leaning), of the boat when the jib, or genoa (SP?) sail is out. This sail is attached to a separate pole at the very bow of yacht, which I believe is called the genoa mast, or maybe just called the genoa sail. This sail, which is the larger of the two, rolls out from a thinner pole at the bow of the ship. It rolls out and forms a cup-like shape, depending on the way the wind is blowing. The main sail does likewise, but does not roll out as far as the genoa.
Each sail is controlled by different line (rope), often times more than one. While putting up the main sail, one rope has to be pulled, while the other is being released. The same goes for the genoa, just the number of ropes I believe is different, and which rope to release and pull depends if you are "tacking" or "jibing" (terms referring to the change of position in the sails and direction of the boat).
Now, obviously wind is a large factor in sailing. When steering a sailboat, the method for changing direction depends on the direction of the wind. Thus, all direction changes or turns are described by one of the following terms:
Heading up (or luffing up) means steering so the wind is closer to coming from directly in front (or "on the bow"). Heading closer to the wind requires trimming the sails, pulling them towards the vessel's center. Heading up so the wind is nearly or directly ahead causes sails to luff, to flutter without achieving lift. If the boat loses maneuverability because of this, it is said to be in irons. Tacking (or coming about), one of the basic turning techniques, requires bringing the bow of the boat through the wind so that the wind then comes across the opposite side of the boat, and the boat sails away on the opposite tack.
Heading down, bearing away, falling off and freeing off mean steering so the wind comes from closer to the vessel's aft. This requires easing sails, letting them out away from the vessel's center. Gybing or Jibing is the turning maneuver in which the boat heads down past the point where the wind crosses the vessel's stern, which causes the sails and boom to swing to the opposite side, before the boat sails off on the opposite tack. The sail and boom can cross the centerline of the boat with significant speed, and misjudged gybing can easily capsize a small boat, harm inattentive crew, or damage the rig in a larger boat, especially in strong winds.
Now, there are thousands of other aspects to sailing, I just mentioned a few and didn't want to overwhelm you. I myself have a yacht which I sail with my family in races, so I understand all the techniques I explained. If you wish to get more of a visual idea, refer to wikipedia.org, where you can see the more specific aspects, and get an idea of what they look like. I hope this helps! (sorry I couldn't help with the hurricane thing).

they started naming hurricanes are topical storms from a long time ago.... like back in 60's. start of storm season-- they start with A %26amp; name 1st one beginning with A. then B, with B. %26amp; then C, with C. and so forth.
Reply:hurricanes were name a hundred years ago, since the early 1800's. The United States began naming hurricanes in the 1950's.
Reply:welll i looked up "first hurricane named" the first one... this is what i got...
Forecasters begin using names in 1950. In that year and in 1951, names were from the international phonetic alphabet in use at the time - Able, Baker, Charlie, etc. Female, English-language names were used beginning in 1953.
Alternating male and female names were first used to name Atlantic Basin hurricanes in 1979. This was also the first year that French and Spanish names, as well as English, were used. The first three male names used, Bob, David and Frederick have all been retired because they did tremendous damage. Frederick and David were retired because of the damage they did in 1979. Bob was retired after a hurricane by that name hit New England in 1991.

Discreet way of naming a character after satan?
I wan't my character to be named after satan, but in a way that it will not be immediatly recogizable. Names like Lucifer give it away a little too easily. I don't want the reader to draw parallels to satan until the end of the book.
Discreet way of naming a character after satan?
Do some word play. Play around with the letters in common names for satan. atans.... lucifer... fricule.... diablo... labdio....
I say this because I recently wrote a book about a female main character, but the reader didn't know the gender of the character until the last chapter. I just picked a girl's name and gave her a nickname that allowed her gender to be up in the air... i.e. her 'christian name' was Victoria...I called her Vic until the last chapter. She was a gunslinger so, her gender was never apparent and those that have read to edit this for me...said they had no idea until I told them at the end. :)
So, my advice to you is to pick a name...play around with the lettering. Even adding a couple of taking one away...moving them about...something will come to you.
Also, FYI- alot of people use Legion to refer to the Devil...which interestingly if you flip it...it becomes the word Lived. :) Play around...one will come, and if you don't like it later and something better comes along.... use your word processor's find and replace command.
Don't get hung up on names until you are down to the final three edits. :) They are easily changed.
Reply:I don't remember the author, but I do remember him naming the devil character the last name of Friend, which is almost fiend.
You can also use the name of a lesser demon/non-Christian deity like Moloch, Beezelbub, or Baal.
A last way is to use a literary reference like Daniel Webster or Mephistophles.
Reply:Old Nick

Reply:Idk Go to like a language translator and translate it or go to Behind the Name.com and got to the little search thing and type in Devil but search it in meanings.
Reply:boy: Luce, Lucius, Lucien
both: Devin, Satin (yes, that is a name)
thats all i could find, hope i helped!
Reply:Diablo. Like Diablo Cody. Or search devil in another language.

What are some good things to keep in mind when naming a purebred puppy?
I have a 'call' name for her already. The breeder told me there was some crazy formula to it, but never elaborated.

I have a pure bred Shitzallot......I call her Dammit
Reply:it uslly has 3 names in it your last noame if you can make it work my x brother in law called is lab misty gray sky misty for short
Reply:Well, basically, when you register your dog, you can't just call it "Rex" on the registration papers because there are already a bazillion Rexes.
Like, I had a purebred named Daisy. But even Daisy Doodle didn't work, because it was taken - so we called her Daisy Queen of the Urban Frontier.
The AKC just wants to be able to easily differentiate between dogs.
Reply:Congrats on your new puppy :)
Reply:Regardless of whether it is a purebreed or not,a dog will respond to your voice's inotation, not a name. Granted, if you call your dog "Snooks" right now, and he responds, that is a given. If, however, you call him "Buddy" with the same inflection or tone you use when you call him by "Snooks", it is more than likely he will respond to it. I called my last dog by several different pet names--pun not intended, but there it is--and he still responded to each, because he knew I was calling him to respond to me. The breeder was full of sh it. My opinion. The breed is not relevant. I may be proven wrong, but it sounds like horse pucky.
Reply:The only thing I've ever read that had to do with dogs is that that names with an "e" ending are easier for them to understand. Don't know if these dogs told people that or what...But I just named my dog Zoey because it fit her. And yes, it's on her papers not Zoey Zoo Boombaga Tuffy or some crap like that.
Reply:Most people use parts of the parents names . I bought an akita puppy and the fathers 1st name was Diesel and the Mothers 1st was Thunderfoot ! So I named the puppy Dozer Diesel Thunderfoot ! Call him Doze
Reply:Two syllables is important...no more, no less. Typically a 'call' name for a female should begin and end w/ a vowel and or a soft consonant and be no longer than six characters. Some believe that a hard consonant midway is beneficial, yet I disagree...for females the softer the better, name-wise, that is ;) The possibilities are endless. I can't believe I actually answered one of your questions w/ a bit of a clue!
Edit: and yes, the AKC requires three names. My girl is "Ayla Ebe Swanson". Happy for you!
Reply:Pets usually end up naming themselves.
I had a cat named Visa. She was everywhere I wanted to be.
Reply:Normally you name your puppy off of its personality. I named my Pom off of his looks. You never want to name him the same name as someone or another pet he'd be around that could get her confused. And her name should be short one to two syllables. And you absolutely never wanna call her a cuss word or something that you wouldn;t call your own child. I know it sounds bizzare but every time you say damn it she will come running. And later you will regret it and it may be too hard to change her name. Another thing you may want to try is picking out 3 names and call her all 3 of them at different times and see which one catches her attention more!! hope this helps!

Reply:Just because it's a purebred dog doesn't mean it has to adhere to some formula. Some people if they are planning to breed it will name it (depending on the litter letter) and that name will take precedence on the papers along with the kennels name. And as your dog wins titles the title letters will preced the name. Your call name is kind of like it's middle name. I'm trying to put this in lay terms so please do not think I am being insulting or rude. But many people who will read your question may not know either if I go into technical terms.
Reply:Uhh. lol

How has the naming system of generic drugs changed over the last few years?
Can you give an example of a drug affected by the change?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
How has the naming system of generic drugs changed over the last few years?
I do not know what actually is going on with USAN, but by the looks of things new drug/chemical classes have generic names that are difficult to pronounce. They usually don't back track and change an old generic name with a new one.
Now is the purpose to discourage generic prescribing? Maybe not but the upshot is that if a doctor can't pronounce the generic name they are left with using the brand name.
Interesting that even though audio files are well established on the internet that the FDA does not have audio files for drug names. Label information at the drugs@fda website is restricted to brand name drugs.
If you could see an old USP or NF book (might find one at an old pharmacy if they had not thrown in out, or an old pharmacist might have one at home they could bring to work) then you would see how easy the old (1980's and before) generic names could be pronounced.
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/about-am...
Reply:If I understand your question correctly, you mean the name of the actual chemical in the medicine, as opposed to the brand name. For example, the 'generic name' of Oxycontin would be oxycodone, which is the name of the actual chemical which is the active ingredient. The only changes that I can think of which have occured in these names falls under what I would title 'the diversification of chemical nomenclature.' What I mean by this is that as more and more chemicals are invented more and more names have to be created for them. Therefore, naturally, the names for these chemicals would have to become more and more creative and diverse. If I had to give an example...the name for Ambien is zolpidem. Zolpidem seems to me like a very creative name for a chemical, but I could be wrong. See 'chemical nomenclature.'
Reply:in the uk the names of some were changed to the european name a few yrs ago in line with EU policy. eg bendrofluazide became bendroflumethazide.

The only changes that I can think of which have occured in these names falls under what I would title 'the diversification of chemical nomenclature.' What I mean by this is that as more and more chemicals are invented more and more names have to be created for them. Therefore, naturally, the names for these chemicals would have to become more and more creative and diverse. If I had to give an example...the name for Ambien is zolpidem. Zolpidem seems to me like a very creative name for a chemical, but I could be wrong. See 'chemical nomenclature.'
Reply:in the uk the names of some were changed to the european name a few yrs ago in line with EU policy. eg bendrofluazide became bendroflumethazide.
How can I include the female family names when naming our children?
We are not having a problem coming up with names using the male members of our families. For example, we have decided on Jack Dalton (boy) from his grandfather and my grandfather. We have also decided on Camdyn Layne (girl) from my grandfather and his mother picked out Layne.
However, we want to include our grandmothers and/or mothers. We need help! Any suggestions....
My grandmother's: Betty Jean and Margorie Iris
My mother: Pamela Jean
His grandmother's: Betty Jean and Margie LaDeema
His mother: Margie Lachone (spoken as la' shon)
How can I include the female family names when naming our children?
John instead of Jean, or use Eugene
Reply:Margie, Margie, and Margorie are all forms of Margaret. So maybe you could include Margaret, which would still be honoring them. Other names that are variants of Margaret are:
Greta, Etta, Maggie, Meghan, Maret, Gretchen
there are more here: http://www.behindthename.com/php/related...
Iris is really, really pretty, I think that's find the way it is, and would be great to include. It's unique and exotic.
Betty is a short form of Elizabeth, so you can include that, which I like much better than Betty.
I think Jean would make a great middle name.
I can't think of anything for Pamela, maybe make it a middle, or something like Melody, Melanie, Melissa, Melinda, as they all begin with mel and Pamela has Mel in it.
hope this helps :)
Reply:I'm hesitant to believe this question....for one thing, you're a new account....this is the only question you've asked. Also, both you and your husband (boyfriend?) have grandmothers named Betty Jean and Margie/Margorie??? I find a coincidence like that very hard to swallow, especially since Margorie is spelled more like Margie, than the traditional spelling, Marjorie. Anyway, I'm just as bored as you apparently are, so I'm gonna answer anyway.

What are the infringment laws when it comes to naming a product?
I have a product I would like to name the same name as another product on the market, although they are not similar. My product is a body balm/lotion and the other is an adult lubricant (yeah, I know, it's pretty funny). So the 2 products will never be found in the same store. Can I legally name my product the same since it's not a similar product or should I just come up with something else? It was a really good name so I'd like to try to use it if possible.

Lotions and lubricants are very similar, so if there was a trademark lawsuit you would probably lose.

Are there any laws in the United States regarding naming children?
In Europe, some names are protected and require approval before naming a child (or in my case, marrying in to one.) In some countries, parents are acrually required to cnoose from a list of approved names.
Do we have any such laws in this country?
Are there any laws in the United States regarding naming children?
Laws exist in the US placing restrictions on the naming of children and legally changing one's name. The restrictions differ on a state-by-state basis.
Generally, you can not choose a name with fraudulent intent; you can not choose a name that interferes with the rights of others, i.e., naming yourself George W. Bush; you can not select a name that intentionally confuse, i.e., the name "10" or "?"; you can not select a name that is a racial slur or a name that would be considered "fighting words," which includes obscene words.
Reply:As far as I know it's pretty wide open. I've heard of people auctioning off their childrens names to corporate sponsorship. Remember when the Artist formerly formerly and now again currently known as Prince changed his name to that weird little symbol? I think anything is fair game.
Reply:No, but I'm sure the Rep's would try and make one seeing how they are so Anti-people of color.
Reply:No laws that I'm aware of...although sometimes I think there should be laws against giving your child a stupid name.
I've heard of:
Harry, Lily, and Rosy--Last name Butt
Naming your twin girls Gonorreah and Syphllis
Having a chlid named Merry Christmas, Holly Daze, and just about every other rotten idea you can think of.

Legality of naming people who owe money?
I've been invited to a group on facebook who is threatening to write the names of people who owed money to them. They are planning on giving these names over the Internet. I believe this to be illegal is it? What law are they breaking?
Said people have gone out of business because of it and are now threatening to expose them unless they pay what they owe.
Legality of naming people who owe money?
I once lived in a small town that had one independent furniture and hardware store. Much of the business was done on credit with no credit checks, only hand written agreements. The owner of the store ran a full page ad in the weekly newspaper expressing his "Special Thanks" to a list of customers. There was a list of names published below. Everyone in town knew that that list was people who were behind on their payment without the ad expressing such. Maybe you should try that approach, it worked well for him.
Reply:If "said people" have documentary proof that the money is actually owed to them, they are home free. Otherwise they are skating on thin ice, to mix a metaphor.
Reply:It's free speech and it's perfectly legal, as long as their claims are true. It's only considered libel or slander if somebody injures your reputation by making a deliberately false statement about you. Truth is always an absolute defense. If somebody owed you money and didn't want to pay you back, don't you think you'd have the right to tell people about it?
* According to the Wiki article below, the Brits supposedly don't respect this principle. However, an excerpt from a UK civil liberties site says this:
"It is a complete defence to an action for defamation to prove that the defamatory statement is substantially true."
http://www.yourrights.org.uk/yourrights/...
Reply:If they actually OWE the money to the people, it isn't illegal.
If they sue for libel, the accuracy of information is a legal defense.
(This is what the major credit bureaus do)
If they DON'T owe the money, and they say they do, and it harms them financially, then you could sue.
Reply:Its called Defamation, thats pretty messed up! You should report this to someone. maybe your local police office or at least to the facebook people. The bad thing is, these people's information will be online.
Reply:black mail don't do it or you will be the one in trouble

How consistent are digital camera file naming conventions?
I have a quicktime movie that is labelled P105xxx.mov, and another set of still pictures that are labelled P105xxx.jpg. Does that mean they definitely come from the same camera and were recorded roughly the same time? Or could they have been taken years apart with different cameras?
How consistent are digital camera file naming conventions?
They could have been taken years apart with different cameras. Think of it this way: I buy camera A today and you buy camera B tomorrow. I take 400 pictures a day and you take 400 a year. Because they are the same model of camera, but different physical camera, I will reach the same file number of 400 in 1 day, while you will have the identical file number in 1 year.
Generally speaking, higher end cameras do follow a naming convention starting with DSC_####.xxx, where DSC stands for Digital Still Camera, a blank space for a letter (like C for Canon, N for Nikon, F for Fujifilm), the # of the photo in sequential order, ending with the file extension for the file type, like jpg.
However, I've noticed that some cameras replace DSC with IMG (apparently for image) and others use different prefixes (like my Pentax point and shoot uses P in front).
Files should have data embedded in them called EXIF data which will provide you with information on when the file was created and even camera model and settings. You can read this data by either using free software (try http://www.opanda.com ) or by seeing if your operating system can pull it up via a right-click on the file then selecting the advanced tabs/buttons to read the EXIF data on creation date, time, and camera model.
Reply:they could have been taken with the same brand camera
Reply:Good question. I just tested my compact digital camera. I shot a still and a short video. File names were as follows:
DSCN9801.JPG and DSCN9802.JPG, so it guess it depends upon the way the camera companies set up the firmware in each camera.
NOTE: Some DSLR's allow the photographer to rename the first three letters of the file name ... for instance I set mine to reflect my initials.

What is the history behind the naming of the Outlaw Airfield at Clarksville, TN ?
I am researching the Outlaw family surname in the Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri areas and wonder if there is a connection.
What is the history behind the naming of the Outlaw Airfield at Clarksville, TN ?
Clarksville Airport Grand Opening: Outlaw Field dedicated October 27, 1929.
In August 1929, 225 acres of land was purchases from J.C. Caroland to pave way for an airport in Clarksville. Shortly after work began on a 200-foot runway and a concrete and steel hangar. Beginning October 27th, 1929 more than 3,000 people attended a three-day dedication ceremony held for the new airfield. A group of citizens purchased the land for the airport at a cost of $50 per public share.
The airport was named in honor of John F. Outlaw, known as the "Father of Aviation in Clarksville and Montgomery County." In the 1920's Outlaw had operated a private field in the northern part of Montgomery County. Colonel Outlaw, commanding officer of the 105th Observation Squadron Detachment, was killed by lightning on July 27, 1942, while serving with the Army Air Force in World War II. He was honored by a granite monument at a ceremony at Outlaw field on October 19, 1943.
Today, Outlaw Field boasts one of the longest runways in the state (for a non major airport) with 6,000 feet of asphalt. It has a secondary runway of 4,004 feet. Two additional hangars were built in 1988. The airport handles more than 10,000 flights per year.

Beginning October 27th, 1929 more than 3,000 people attended a three-day dedication ceremony held for the new airfield. A group of citizens purchased the land for the airport at a cost of $50 per public share.
The airport was named in honor of John F. Outlaw, known as the "Father of Aviation in Clarksville and Montgomery County." In the 1920's Outlaw had operated a private field in the northern part of Montgomery County. Colonel Outlaw, commanding officer of the 105th Observation Squadron Detachment, was killed by lightning on July 27, 1942, while serving with the Army Air Force in World War II. He was honored by a granite monument at a ceremony at Outlaw field on October 19, 1943.
Today, Outlaw Field boasts one of the longest runways in the state (for a non major airport) with 6,000 feet of asphalt. It has a secondary runway of 4,004 feet. Two additional hangars were built in 1988. The airport handles more than 10,000 flights per year.

How does the geforce video card naming convention work now?
It's been some time since I've purchased a geforce vid card. My best guess at the current naming convention is that the first digit of the 4 digits is the "generation" and the second digit is the "tier" or performance level within that generation. Therefore an 8800 is better performance, but older technology than a 9600 and the 9800 is the best, right? (Exclude the newest GTX260/280 that throws yet another naming convention change into the mix.)
How does the geforce video card naming convention work now?
The 8800's are better than the 9600's and the 9800's are the 8800's but shrunk down in size. So basically the 9000 series is not much different than the 8000 series. The GTX260/280 are expensive new cards.
Reply:Yeah the 8800 is supposed to outperform the 9600, while the 9800 outperforms both.

What do you feel about naming your children after celebrities?
Right now, my heart is set on naming my son (when i have one in the distant future) benji after the sytycd winner. He is currently like my biggest role model and i dont think that will change. but when i get older i may change my mind about naming him benji. My cousin wants to name her new baby after Carson Palmer and another football player whos first initial is J. They were gonna call the baby CJ. We don't really find this appropriate because a man named CJ tried to kill my sister. He also beat her up, and kidnapped her kids. And i don't think my cousin has considered this and i dont think she even remembers that this was the man's name. Who can we tell her that we would perfer he not name her son CJ without being rude? And do you see anything wrong with it since she is naming him after football players, not the criminal?
What do you feel about naming your children after celebrities?
I would just remind her about it and let her decide.
Reply:I think that is a good decision to do I named my son after Rusty Wallace and I don't regret it one bit.
Reply:Big mistake. What if your "role model"- goes on a tri-state killing spree, or bilks the american public for billions, or turns out to be the biggest fraud since G.W. Bush? -The poor kid will never be able to live it down!!! Think of all the people- who named their children "Osama", or "Adolf", or "PeeWee"...%26amp; what those kids have to endure every day. Stick to simple, common names that your kids can SPELL at least. -And let them make a NAME for themselves- out of those.
Reply:I believe you will know what to name your baby by the time you see him or her, if not sooner. You'll have plenty of time to think about it but I definately think the baby's name should be his or her own because everyone is unique even if someone else happens to have the same name.
Reply:I named my son Kenyon after Kenyon Martin (GO BEARCATS!) and if we have another boy we're going to name him Carson (WHO DEY!) So there aint a d@mn thing wrong with it...
Reply:I considered naming my son Fraser after a family name but I thought people would think I named him after Frazier Crane.
Many people name their kids after celebrities (my mother did) and it really is personal preference. In your case it is probably okay since this celebrity probably isn't going to be to memorable in 20 years. I don't even know who he is. When I hear Benjy I think of the dog Benji from that old Disney movie.
I was named after a very memorable celebrity (and a song to go with it) and there is nothing worse than always having to listen to people who think they are the first to tell you that your name is famous ( or when they sing to you while you are trying to collect money from them).
Edited to add: Like me, I think everyone focused on the original question. By the time I reached the end of your details I already had an answer formed based on the celebrity issue. The two questions should have been separate in order to get good answers.
Just tell your cousin how your family feels about this. Remind her of that near tragedy and how painful it is. Have her imagine herself in your sister's shoes. She can still name her baby as she pleases, just come up with a different nickname.
Reply:never name you're kids after celebrities. This is coming from a girl who has the middle name Whitney and the last name Hewston!
It's so embarrasing
Reply:It is her child and she can name the child what she wants. I see nothing wrong with naming it after a football player.
You should let your sister know your concerns and maybe she will rethink her decision. If she does use it, please never bring it up again especially in front of the child.
Reply:i think it's stupid naming your children after people that you have never met. what you read and/or know about them, might not be how they really are in real life. carson palmer might be a great football player, but what if he also does drugs or beats his wife? i would mention the whole CJ thing to them. she probably does not remember and it might cause a lot of stress in your family.
Reply:well what she names her kids in really nothing you have say so in. my guess is that name is burned into her mind because he hurt her in so many ways. benji isn't exactly a great name either (it reminds me of the dog) and your kid would get teased all the time. so take into consideration not everyone agrees on children's names, but to each his own. there is nothing wrong with naming your kids after celebrities, songs, tv or movie characters or whatever it may be.

Is obama showing us how unqualified he is as a president by naming old crooks to his cabinet?
I don't care if you are a democ or republican but i hope you care about your country. Americans dump the Bushes for corruption and Now they have obama who is willingly accepting big corrupts in his side. What do you think?
Is obama showing us how unqualified he is as a president by naming old crooks to his cabinet?
I think President Obama has limited resources to pull from therefore one or two may have a little dirt on their hands.But, are still more than qualified to do the job if you look at Bush's cabinet you will find all had dirty fingernails some were downright criminals not to mention many skeletons in their closet,...

Conservative academic Victor Davis Hanson calls the choice of Daschle the “Rezkozation” of the Obama administration. Tony Rezko, you may recall, was the bagman who bankrolled part of Obama’s political career. He’s also a felon.
Amazingly enough, therefore, he hasn’t been tapped to serve in the Obama administration. Yet.

Reply:I think President Obama is showing us how his inexperience is hindering him. Number one, every political party is going to have it's share of corrupt and dirty douchebags slurring the party name.

All the crap the libo-commies have spewed into bills and tried to push as legislation is a serious indicator of how messed up their ideology and way of thinking is. To them, criminals deserve a few free passes. If you belong to a democratic elitist group or play the liberal rusty trombone, you get free passes. Second, no one cared about the rest of the Democratic party for the last two years because everyone was touting Obama as the new best thing. I think in their haste to make him the fearless leader, they failed to reshape and clean up their own image. Now that Obama is elected, it's time to get back to work here in real life. Except now the media has to look at real life for a little bit too, albeit skewed with sugar plum dreams of an Obama paradise. Also, Bush is out of the way now, so the media has to focus negative remarks at someone. The Dems kicked butt in the election and they ran a damn good campaign. But now, someone has to pay the piper and play by the rules. Third, Obama was the champion of change and political reform during the campaign. The same ol same ol will hurt him, not help. Clinton ran into the exact same problems in his administration too. He got a second term, but the republicans helped with a run by Bob Dole. Anyway, I think by the end of four years the People will have had about enough of him as they can stand.

White House Chief of Staff John Sununu resigns after taking a government limo from Washington to a rare-stamp auction in New York, sending the car and driver back alone and flying back to D.C. on a corporate jet.
1993
FBI Director William Sessions gets fired after the Justice Department accuses him of ethics violations. Topping the list? Letting his wife use official cars for trips to the hairdresser and dressmaker and to go shopping.

What are your thoughts on naming child after my family?
My grandfather had no sons and this would be his only grandson. He passed away and I would like to use his name for the middle name. My husband's family would be mad about this. They think it should be my husband's name or something. My thought on this is that they already have the last name. The mother 's family should get the middle name at least. My husband doesn't care but I really don't want to make even more waves with his sensitive family.
What are your thoughts on naming child after my family?
f*ck his family, name the boy what you want
Reply:i think you should go with the grandfather's name.
Reply:I think you should honor your grandfather! God bless.

Reply:I think that would be a lovely gesture. Ignore his family, he is ok with it and your family will love it.
Reply:This is your husband's and your decision. It's not up anyone else. Name him what you and your husband think is most appropriate. Also, this probably won't even be your only son! Name this one after your father, the next one after someone in your husband's family. :)
Reply:I think you should name him after your grandfather. He means/meant a lot to you and should be remembered.
Reply:Ok, My family wasn't to hot on either of my two kids names but me and my Husband loved them and in the end it is the parents decision and no one else's. Also both of my boys have family middle names it is a nice gesture and it is a good way of remembering people.
Reply:i like the idea of incorporating family names and a lovely way to remember your grandfather - i also like having the parents name as a middle name - my daughter caitlyn louise - could you not use both names as middle names? its quite common to have 2 middle names - my friends baby is called haiden sean (his dads name) samuel astridge i think it sounds lovely and flows really well- and that way you wont cause any upset to anyone! i know the feeling of not getting a long with inlaws and always having different opinions and such ! drives me mad ! xx
Reply:Maybe write a card to all the family indiviuals. Ask for their written opinion but ask them to explain one reason why not and one reason why for each response.
Promise to consider all the returned opinions. But make no promises to actually do what the majority say. Tell them you will carefully consider all their opinions.
See if they respond. No reason no vote ;]
Reply:I think it's sweet that you wanna name the baby after his grandfather. I say it's your baby, your decision. Your husband doesn't mind and besides you his opinion is the only one that really matters. Best wishes (:
Reply:Oh that's kinda difficult..your child has the last name of ur husband and the middle name of ur grandpa which I think is a really good idea. Why don't u and ur husband think together for a first name? like something special..i.e.my aunt gave her daughter the name Rose Beatrice, because she loves the flower rose and Beatrice was his mother name who passed away long time ago too.
I like people with 2 first names, especially when they have a meaning =)
Reply:In the end, it's you and your husbands decision, not theirs. If it doesn't really matter to him whether the child is a junior, then decide this together. I luckily didn't have to deal with this, my husbands jewish and it's considered bad luck to name a child after a living person. Honoring loved one's that have passed is a great tradition, each of my children have a name passed down from a lost loved family member or friend. Honoring his family can be done in a number of ways, not just one. Maybe consider using one of his passed relatives names, another family surname or simply a name from the ethnic heritage of his family for a first or middle name. They'll move past not having a junior in the family and love the child regardless, you have to do what's right for you and your husband and not worry about how their going to react to your decisions.
Reply:you are right. they have the last name. and your grandfather should be honored! explain to them that it would mean a lot because of your grandfather. good luck be strong!
Reply:They have no business getting upset at what you name YOUR child! They already have had their children and had the chance to name them. I think that is a great idea to have your grand fathers name as the middle name. Its a great way to honor somebody. If that is what you really want don't back down! When they go through labor for him and push him out then they can choose his name! : ) Congrats and good luck.
Reply:I agree with you completely. They already have their last name being passed on, why not let you honor your grandfather by using his name as the middle name. I see no harm in it. If your husbands family does..well they would just have to get over it if it was me. If you don't do what your heart tells you I feel that you will later on regret it. It's YOUR child, name him what you see fit. Good luck and congrats!
Reply:I think that would be nice!! I know a girl who had 2 middle names, maybe you could do your grandfather's name and the husbands name!
Reply:The deal my husband and I made was I got the girl middle name
Elizabeth, after my mom
He got the boys middle name, Allen, it was his, his father, grandfather middle names and his great grandfather first name
It's kind of cool
My mother in law still a bit upset that about my daughter getting my mom's middle name. She does not like my daughter first, not her child
Make a deal with your husband. You husband should deal with his family. This child gets your grandfather name, next child will get one from his family. Your husband can tell his family that, and hopefully tell them that that is what he wants, and not to say anything to you
Reply:i think if you and your husband are ok with the name, you should do it. his family is important but they do not get to make this decision. you have a very valid reason for wanting the name to be what it will be. and yes, his family already "gets" the last name. this is something that only you and your husband can decide on.
Reply:I think you should name the baby after ur grandfather
Reply:Name your baby the way you want.
Reply:It's your child not your in-laws. As long as your husband is in agreement, do it, it would be a nice gesture. If they are upset, too bad, they will get over it! Everyone in my family has a middle name that was a family name, it's a nice tradition.
Reply:Is it an embarrassing name? And even so it doesn't matter, its your kid. They shouldn't have any say over what you name it. When I had my kids, my husband and I kept the names a secret until they were announced to the family. We didn't get any scrutiny over the names and no one was brave enough to tell us our names sucked afterwards. You're going to do what you want anyway, so do it. Good Luck!
Reply:The name of your child is between you and your husband. If you like the name and he doesn't care, go for it. If your "sensitive" family members are creating waves in your family, then I would recommend not involving them so much.
When the child is born, you and your husband agree on a name, file the birth certificate, and then send an announcement out with all the details.
Reply:If you want to honor your grandfather, that is your right. You are the mother and your husband's family has no say whatsoever on the deciding factor of a name. Since your son is going to pass on the last name, adding your grandfather's name incorporates both sets of families. Don't let anyone sway you into naming your child a name you don't agree with. You guys are the parents, you have the right and the authority, no else does. Happy Holidays! (o:
Reply:your child your decision !!!!!!!!
my son has his grandfathers middle name which was his grandfathers last name.
they had no males and that carried it on .when this happened there were waves but oh well for them ,
just wait if you both are different religons thats even more fun , I'm Lutheran he was cathlioc , deal with that , I actually had fun doing it,hes Lutheran.
don't stress out over them
they should be happy for both of you and not so arrogant
Reply:In the end, your husband's family doesn't have a say in it. This is between you and your husband. Personally, I think it's an excellent gesture that will help you remember your grandgather.
Reply:If your husband doesn't mind, don't worry about the in-laws. They'll love their grandson no matter what, I'm sure.
Reply:Maybe you can use your husbands name for the first name, and your grandfathers name for the middle name, you'll probably have other kid so you'll have time to use more of them, It is common in our family to name their kids after the parents,or grandparents, either for first or middle. But my husband thinks totally opposite, he wants our kids to have their own names,so we gotta mix these up. The in-laws wiont care when they see the baby.
What are your thoughts on naming child after my family?
f*ck his family, name the boy what you want
Reply:i think you should go with the grandfather's name.
Reply:I think you should honor your grandfather! God bless.
-Ashley*
Reply:I think that would be a lovely gesture. Ignore his family, he is ok with it and your family will love it.
Reply:This is your husband's and your decision. It's not up anyone else. Name him what you and your husband think is most appropriate. Also, this probably won't even be your only son! Name this one after your father, the next one after someone in your husband's family. :)
Reply:I think you should name him after your grandfather. He means/meant a lot to you and should be remembered.
Reply:Ok, My family wasn't to hot on either of my two kids names but me and my Husband loved them and in the end it is the parents decision and no one else's. Also both of my boys have family middle names it is a nice gesture and it is a good way of remembering people.
Reply:i like the idea of incorporating family names and a lovely way to remember your grandfather - i also like having the parents name as a middle name - my daughter caitlyn louise - could you not use both names as middle names? its quite common to have 2 middle names - my friends baby is called haiden sean (his dads name) samuel astridge i think it sounds lovely and flows really well- and that way you wont cause any upset to anyone! i know the feeling of not getting a long with inlaws and always having different opinions and such ! drives me mad ! xx
Reply:Maybe write a card to all the family indiviuals. Ask for their written opinion but ask them to explain one reason why not and one reason why for each response.
Promise to consider all the returned opinions. But make no promises to actually do what the majority say. Tell them you will carefully consider all their opinions.
See if they respond. No reason no vote ;]
Reply:I think it's sweet that you wanna name the baby after his grandfather. I say it's your baby, your decision. Your husband doesn't mind and besides you his opinion is the only one that really matters. Best wishes (:
Reply:Oh that's kinda difficult..your child has the last name of ur husband and the middle name of ur grandpa which I think is a really good idea. Why don't u and ur husband think together for a first name? like something special..i.e.my aunt gave her daughter the name Rose Beatrice, because she loves the flower rose and Beatrice was his mother name who passed away long time ago too.
I like people with 2 first names, especially when they have a meaning =)
Reply:In the end, it's you and your husbands decision, not theirs. If it doesn't really matter to him whether the child is a junior, then decide this together. I luckily didn't have to deal with this, my husbands jewish and it's considered bad luck to name a child after a living person. Honoring loved one's that have passed is a great tradition, each of my children have a name passed down from a lost loved family member or friend. Honoring his family can be done in a number of ways, not just one. Maybe consider using one of his passed relatives names, another family surname or simply a name from the ethnic heritage of his family for a first or middle name. They'll move past not having a junior in the family and love the child regardless, you have to do what's right for you and your husband and not worry about how their going to react to your decisions.
Reply:you are right. they have the last name. and your grandfather should be honored! explain to them that it would mean a lot because of your grandfather. good luck be strong!
Reply:They have no business getting upset at what you name YOUR child! They already have had their children and had the chance to name them. I think that is a great idea to have your grand fathers name as the middle name. Its a great way to honor somebody. If that is what you really want don't back down! When they go through labor for him and push him out then they can choose his name! : ) Congrats and good luck.
Reply:I agree with you completely. They already have their last name being passed on, why not let you honor your grandfather by using his name as the middle name. I see no harm in it. If your husbands family does..well they would just have to get over it if it was me. If you don't do what your heart tells you I feel that you will later on regret it. It's YOUR child, name him what you see fit. Good luck and congrats!
Reply:I think that would be nice!! I know a girl who had 2 middle names, maybe you could do your grandfather's name and the husbands name!
Reply:The deal my husband and I made was I got the girl middle name
Elizabeth, after my mom
He got the boys middle name, Allen, it was his, his father, grandfather middle names and his great grandfather first name
It's kind of cool
My mother in law still a bit upset that about my daughter getting my mom's middle name. She does not like my daughter first, not her child
Make a deal with your husband. You husband should deal with his family. This child gets your grandfather name, next child will get one from his family. Your husband can tell his family that, and hopefully tell them that that is what he wants, and not to say anything to you
Reply:i think if you and your husband are ok with the name, you should do it. his family is important but they do not get to make this decision. you have a very valid reason for wanting the name to be what it will be. and yes, his family already "gets" the last name. this is something that only you and your husband can decide on.
Reply:I think you should name the baby after ur grandfather
Reply:Name your baby the way you want.
Reply:It's your child not your in-laws. As long as your husband is in agreement, do it, it would be a nice gesture. If they are upset, too bad, they will get over it! Everyone in my family has a middle name that was a family name, it's a nice tradition.
Reply:Is it an embarrassing name? And even so it doesn't matter, its your kid. They shouldn't have any say over what you name it. When I had my kids, my husband and I kept the names a secret until they were announced to the family. We didn't get any scrutiny over the names and no one was brave enough to tell us our names sucked afterwards. You're going to do what you want anyway, so do it. Good Luck!
Reply:The name of your child is between you and your husband. If you like the name and he doesn't care, go for it. If your "sensitive" family members are creating waves in your family, then I would recommend not involving them so much.
When the child is born, you and your husband agree on a name, file the birth certificate, and then send an announcement out with all the details.
Reply:If you want to honor your grandfather, that is your right. You are the mother and your husband's family has no say whatsoever on the deciding factor of a name. Since your son is going to pass on the last name, adding your grandfather's name incorporates both sets of families. Don't let anyone sway you into naming your child a name you don't agree with. You guys are the parents, you have the right and the authority, no else does. Happy Holidays! (o:
Reply:your child your decision !!!!!!!!
my son has his grandfathers middle name which was his grandfathers last name.
they had no males and that carried it on .when this happened there were waves but oh well for them ,
just wait if you both are different religons thats even more fun , I'm Lutheran he was cathlioc , deal with that , I actually had fun doing it,hes Lutheran.
don't stress out over them

What do you think of naming kids after a profession?
Taylor, Hunter, Carter, Mason, Tanner, Roper, Fletcher...
What are some other ones?
What do you think of naming kids after a profession?
I am NOT considering these for names, personally I think it's silly, trendy and just plain weird to name a kid after a last name, nevermind one that doubles as a profession! Just looking for opinions and the general consensus.
What do you think of naming kids after a profession?
Here are some more "profession names" that aren't on your list, but are pretty common (and some are girls names or unisex) and even popular now.
Bailey
Cooper
Baxter
Chandler
Dexter
Harper
Marshall
Parker
Piper
Ryder
Sawyer
Spencer
Tucker
Tyler
Weaver
Webster
While I am not a fan of these names, I think that they are increasingly trendy because they are 'rare' as first names, but also sound very familiar (because they are last names.) I actually like them as names when the name used is a family one like the Mother's maiden name, for example.
for those who asked, here are the meanings:
Taylor-- makes clothes
Hunter-- hunts
Carter-- makes crates
Mason--makes stone houses
Tanner-- tans animal hyde to make leather
Roper -- makes rope
Fletcher-- makes arrows
Bailey-- bailiff or sheriff
Cooper-- makes barrels
Baxter-- the baker
Chandler-- makes candles
Dexter-- Dyes cloth
Harper-- plays the harp
Marshall-- takes care of horses/ a military officer
Parker-- takes care of the park
Piper-- plays the bagpipes
Ryder--- messenger on horseback
Sawyer-- carpenter
Spencer-- servant who works in pantry
Tucker-- works with cloth
Tyler-- makes tiles
Weaver-- weaves cloth
Webster-- weaves cloth too
Reply:If it's in good taste why not? We name them after money (Penny) and alcohol ( Brandy) also so why not a profession? I am not too crazy of the name Roper but again up to the parent and what they prefer.
Archer and Forester,Forest or DeForest

Reply:some of those names are decent like Hunter,Mason and Carter, and Taylor. I guess I never even thought of them as professions. I always just thought of them as LAST names that have become acceptable first names.
Reply:I plan on naming my son Paleontologist.
Reply:No, it sounds bad and many would prefer not to have it in their name! Since a huge population still live in poor conditions in the whole of world, the poorly paid profession, however it is fine to express would not match their status for others acceptance!
Reply:i really like Hunter and Mason and Tanner.
Reply:I personally despise each and every one of those names. Plus the fact that even though they are boys names, they sound like names of metrosexual girly men, with the exception of Hunter. Just my opinion, but I prefer everything about a man to be manly, including the name.
Reply:Kinda dumb, maybe mom is a shopaholic or the dad really loves that brand name Sears or Xerox.
Reply:I never noticed that before. One of my friend's name is Mason, and I have a cousin named Taylor. I don't think that all of these names are based on jobs, like Taylor and Carter, but I've never heard of a "Roper" for a name! I'm sure that most people don't even think of it as a "profession"- just a regular name.
By the way, some of those names are not just trendy. "Hunt" used to be a common name, its more trendy counterpart "Hunter," coming into the action.
Old names, like Forrester, Davenport, and Lock, are actually used in upper society elite, since they are very old, sometimes family, names. A lot of the trendy names today are based off of them.

I do have nephews names Taylor and Hunter, and rather like those names, whether or not they are 'occupations'.

Okay, this is for fantasy fiction, I need some names for a giant industrial city. The place is chalk full of factories and other rusty messes of the like. I want names that are formed of actual words, not fantasy things like "Halmerton". (Actually if you can think of something that sounds like 'chicago' or 'ontario' that would be helpful!

What are the advantages of naming organisms with scientific names as compared to common names?
It eliminates confusion when scientists communicate about organisms, or when people refer to organisms by local or regional names.
Latin names will not change meaning over time.
The names in Latin are descriptive of traits or range, so translating the name gives some indication of what the organism is like.
Each organism is delineated with a genus species that separates it from all other organisms, and yet shows relationships to its closest relatives.
What are the advantages of naming organisms with scientific names as compared to common names?
since latin is a dead language it'll never change..
for example:
rex means king, has more or less always meant king, and will always mean king.. as opposed to words such as gay, cool, corn, and ruler all either have multiple meanings and/or have changed meaning over time
also it eliminated language barriers
calling something a "six stripe wrasse" when it may very well be called six barred, six lined, etc wrasse it's simply refered to as Pseudochilineus hexitaenia (the lined wrasse of six.. as a rough translation)
or with common names such as the raccon butterfly.. it could be called a raccoon in the US (where there are raccoons) and be a bandit butterfly in australia
Reply:It gives them a structured naming system that can be easily encoded/decoded based on their meanings and word parts.

What is the history behind naming fraternities and sororities using two or three greek letters?
"Eta Beta Gamma", "Alpha Gamma Pi", etc...
Why greek? Why letters? Why greek letters? How did it start? Why is it continued?
What is the history behind naming fraternities and sororities using two or three greek letters?
According to Wikipedia:
"The Phi Beta Kappa Society was formed as a forum to discuss topics not covered in the regimented classical education of universities of the era, lending the name literary fraternity to its type. Most students were well-versed in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew; Phi, Beta, and Kappa were the initials of a secret Greek motto, Philosophia Biou Kybern膿t膿s = "Love of learning [is] the guide of life". In addition to its secrecy and selection of a Greek name, it also introduced a code of high ideals, secret rituals and handclasps, membership badges, and oaths that characterized later Greek letter societies."

What was the purpose of naming a sword in british literature?
I am writing a paper about Bilbo Baggins [from the Hobbit] becoming a hero and i need to explain the importance of naming his sword "sting".
What was the purpose of naming a sword in british literature?
Well, the classic example would be "Excaliber", the name of King Arthur's sword. The naming of a weapon or item is a way of personifying the object. The act of giving a name makes it more than a "mere object". With a name, it could be seen to have more human-like qualities. In Arthur's case, the sword had the ability to "choose" the next King, and not only had a name, but the ability to determine the morals, wisdom, and character of a king! The drawing of Excaliber from the stone is a transforming moment for Arthur, and the name is closely associated with the moment he transforms from a boy to a man, and from a commoner to a king.
In the Hobbit, Bilbo slays a spider and feels stronger and more powerful through the act of holding the sword. It is at that moment that he gives the sword the name "Sting." Naming the sword gives value and recognition to the object and the actions that have changed him so much. "Sting," as a verb, conjures images of precise, sharp action -- things that may not be natural to most Hobbits, since they are naturally peaceful and unassuming. Naming the sword is a transforming moment for Bilbo, and he is transitioning from his role of reluctant participant to an active hero in the story.

When did people start naming their male children after professions?
I realize these names have been around for a long time, but it seems like tons of boys are named "Hunter", "Fisher", "Digger", "Gunner", and such. What's the purpose?

Seems if you were going to name a child after a profession, it should be "Doc" or "Lawyer" or "President". Give 'em something to aspire to.

Reply:Thats a very interesting question....how about Thorn, Ridge, they are strange too!
Reply:It's just a trend. Personally, I thinks it's past its prime and I think some folks have confused naming a child with a pet.
To be fair though, some of those names are traditional surnames and that was common that a person was known for what he does (also for who he belonged to...John's Son became Johnson). John the Fisherman was shortened to John Fisher over the years. Miller. Hunter. Gunner. If a family needs a way to honor both sides of the family, they may use the mother's maiden name as their child's first name.
Reply:cause they have nothing else to name em..

Reply:lol. and better yet. when did people start making up names. and on top of that. making up the spelling of said names!
Reply:Well, originally back in Medevial ages, people didn't actually have last names in many countries so their professions were used to qualify them.
ie
I'm going to see John.
John the Butcher or John the Hunter (John was a very common name)
the same applies to place names and quality names.
John O'Glenn (from the Glenn) or John Little.
Anyhow, these profession names became last names.
As you probably know there is a big trend to use last names as first names nowadays.
I suspect that that's why Cooper and Tucker are so popular, in addition to Spencer, Preston etc... because they are last names which nowadays sound "fresh" as first names, simply because until very recently they never were used as first names.

When did people start naming their male children after professions?
Seems if you were going to name a child after a profession, it should be "Doc" or "Lawyer" or "President". Give 'em something to aspire to.
Reply:ditto w/ everyone else!
Reply:so the parents wish they have traits and skills like the name... like a hunter or patients like a fisher. Or they just think its cool ^^
Every name Different Meaning
Reply:I think everyone is trying to go for the more unique names. I like Hunter but none of the others.
Reply:i don't know but i am very concerned now about the last name "Johnson" .......
Reply:At least they're better than the original name that my cousin came up for her son: Xzaybeon.
Reply:Thats a very interesting question....how about Thorn, Ridge, they are strange too!
Reply:It's just a trend. Personally, I thinks it's past its prime and I think some folks have confused naming a child with a pet.
To be fair though, some of those names are traditional surnames and that was common that a person was known for what he does (also for who he belonged to...John's Son became Johnson). John the Fisherman was shortened to John Fisher over the years. Miller. Hunter. Gunner. If a family needs a way to honor both sides of the family, they may use the mother's maiden name as their child's first name.
Reply:cause they have nothing else to name em..
Reply:i know of some of those names, but never even thought about it as hunter(hunting wildlife) etc..
Reply:Hunter and Fisher were popular names 100 years ago, so they are just coming into popularity again. Gunnar is actually a Scandinavian name.
I personally like the name Hunter and don't actually relate it to the profession.
Haven't heard of Digger.
Reply:hmmm anyone know anyone named Butcher ? HAHAHA.
Reply:Well, Hunter isn't so bad, really... but I didn't know people were naming them other 'professions' or 'hobbies' such as the others you put. People are strange, honestly, what do you expect?
Reply:I heard someone on here with a teenage son called Sailor. I kid you not! It's cute for a baby but a teenager?
Reply:they sound worth the while
Reply:People think it sounds cool.
Jason Lee from My Name is Earl named his son Pilot Inspektor. As if the name wasn't stupid enough, he had to make it "funky" by replacing the c with a k.
Hunter, Fisher, and Gunner sound like Henry, Frank, and George compared to that s**t.
Reply:Think that's bad. My mom's friend from work named her daughter Salt Ann and their last name is Pepper. Salt Ann Pepper!! No this is not a joke either. I would hate to have that name.
Reply:When they invented alcohol. =D
Reply:Its better than naming them after bathroom appliances like toilet, sink, mirror, bathtub, shower.
Reply:To sound unique I suppose. Let's hope it doesn't get down to Septic Tank Sucker.........Septi for short...........
Reply:...I believe it's Gunnar. See:

Reply:Who the he** names a kid "Digger"?
Reply:Hey, my son is named Hunter. I definitely did not name him after the profession and I'm totally against hunting! My husband and I just thought it was a nice name, has nothing to do with actual hunting. besides, people name their children MUCH weirder names than that! People name their children after seasons, fruit, make up their own names, give boys girl's names and girls boy's names!

Reply:Good question. My birth certificate did not have
my name on it. It had to be amended later and
added my name. My birth certificate read %26lt;baby%26gt;
Reply:I believe it is when you leave the hospital with your child. You can still have a nameless baby even after they're born, because sometimes a child will have a name bracelet that says "Male Lastname" or "Female Lastname" instead of their first name. But once you finally fill out the birth certificate, you have to have a name for them. And I don't think you can leave the hospital without a birth certificate.
Reply:Well the hospital won't let you leave with the baby until they have a name to put on the birth certificate, so I guess as long as you want your baby to be in the hospital and you paying the bill that insurance won't pay for. However I had a 2 year old in one of my classes and his mom found his dad and after testing he was the real father that time around so then they change the child's name to his father's name but juinor. So you can legally change it whenever you want. Also my grandma was Elvera but the nurse didn't like that name so the nurse gave my grandma a different name on her birth certificate and my grandma was only and always known as Elvera not the other name. So I guess you could name your kid Bob and call him Tom and on one would really care.

What influences your naming decisions most?
When it comes to picking out names for your children are you most influenced by how popular the name is, your family and friends' opinions, or another factor? I think when my children are born I'll have a list of a few possible names and will see which one "fits." How did you, or will you, decide?
What influences your naming decisions most?
I have four boys:
Mitchell Harrison
Elliot Paulson
Grant Lawson
Tucker Carson
I knew I wanted a name that sounded cute, but grew well with them.
I imagined talking to them at age 2, 10, 18 %26amp; imagined talking to a co-worker or neighbor with this name. I thought "would this name sound silly or childish for a 40 year old?"
I did ask opinions, but it rarely influenced me. I knew what was right for my child.

Reply:I think everytime a family member made a suggestion, I was instantly turned off - I wanted my babies names to come from the collective creativity of my husband and me. This is the tendency for OCD talking, but I also wanted biblical names, but not overused ones and a certain number of syllables and letters and the meanings between the first and middle names had to go together. It was a lot of work! We also wanted to use some family names - and believe it or not, it all worked out 4 times!!!
Mine are : Mattea Frances - "God's Free Gift" (feminine for Mattthew and Frances after grandpa's and great grandpa's middle names on dad's side)
Mariah Cathryn - "God's Pure Wind" (Cathryn is a family name)
Madalyn Theresa - "Strong Harvesting Tower" (Named Theresa after dad's grandma who had just passed away - also a family name on his mom's side)
Joel Zachary - "Jehovah is the Lord who has Remembered"
(Zachary is a family name)
I also believe every boy born in the US should have a name that can go with the title of "President of the United States" or "Senator" and we loved the name Joel - every Joel we had ever known was a really nice boy. It isn't being used much either - he has never met another Joel and we lived in a large city.

Reply:We are not a very traditional family, so we went more towards creativity than heritage. Our family and friends did not play a role as we felt it should be be our decision. We cracked a book with about 92,000 names and after a while we figured out our 3 criteria.
1) The name must not be easily made fun of.
2) No names of skeletons in our closets. Old boyfriends or girlfriends or people we disliked in our past.
3) Unique %26amp; uncommon.

All the family and friends will find out after the baby is born and my husband and I have decided which name to use. I hate when people find out what they're having (boy/girl) and that day have a name picked out..... Hopefully I'll have it narrowed to five or six, and go from there!
Just as an example of a couple names I like (since I can't use them because they don't go with my last name)... I would use these for a boy OR a girl. There are a lot of names that are considered "boys" names that I prefer for girls.

Reply:I wanted names that wouldn't make my children be ridiculed, but I didn't want run of the mill names either. That's why I decided to check baby name popularity before I used the name. When I named my little girl Isabella, it was not very popular at all...however, the year after I named her that it moved to the number five spot on the popularity list. When I picked Brayden for my son, it was number 752. The year after I picked it, it moved to number 25. So you don't win either way. I know a couple of other Isabella's and two other Brayden's just in the age groups my children are in. So when I was attempting to keep my children's names unique it bit me in the hiney. In the end, the best thing to do is to choose a name that you love (and I did do that) and that way no matter how popular the name is, it won't matter to you.

What would a wife's last name become in a patronymic naming system?
For example:
Anders Olsen marries Anna Nilsdatter
What would Anna's last name be changed to?
I'm asking this in reference to old patronymic naming customs in Norway.
Please help, thanks.
What would a wife's last name become in a patronymic naming system?
Anna Olsen It only would really effect her offspring I.E. Greg Olsenson
Reply:In Judaism, patronymics had the form Itsak ben Ibrahim (Isaac son of Abraham) for a male and in your case, Anna BET Ibrahim (Anna daughter of Abraham) for a female.
There were no name changes as a result of marriage as there were no fixed surnames....so Anna would still be Anna bet Ibrahim even though she married Anders Olsen. However, there children would be {malename} ben Anders or {femalename} bet Anders.
Very very few, if any, partronymic systems had any name changes as a result of marriage.
Reply:Patro means father or male, so she'd be Anna Olsen. In Spain and Mexico she would be Anna Nilsdatter de Olsen. These countries use the patronymic naming system, so she might be Anna Nilsdatter of Olsen.
Reply:She takes her husband's name, except in religious records. In all religious records, she'll forever be recorded as "Anna Nilsdatter, wife of Anders Olsen". It actually makes tracking people ever so much easier this way.
Anders Olsen marries Anna Nilsdatter
What would Anna's last name be changed to?
I'm asking this in reference to old patronymic naming customs in Norway.
Please help, thanks.
What would a wife's last name become in a patronymic naming system?
Anna Olsen It only would really effect her offspring I.E. Greg Olsenson
Reply:In Judaism, patronymics had the form Itsak ben Ibrahim (Isaac son of Abraham) for a male and in your case, Anna BET Ibrahim (Anna daughter of Abraham) for a female.
There were no name changes as a result of marriage as there were no fixed surnames....so Anna would still be Anna bet Ibrahim even though she married Anders Olsen. However, there children would be {malename} ben Anders or {femalename} bet Anders.

What are the parent promises in a baby naming ceremony?
I have been told that a naming ceremony is a good, non-religious alternative to a christening. Has anyone been to one, held one, or otherwise know the sort of promises/vows the parents make? Any help would be much appreciated :o)
What are the parent promises in a baby naming ceremony?
The parents make vows that they will love and nurture the child throughout it's life. They can also make vows that they will love and support each other.
I went to one recently at a register office, the parents wrote their own vows, they also wrote a little speech describing why they chose they name that they did. It was all very lovely and means that you don't miss out on a ceremony for your child if you're not religious.

Reply:I don't know of any set rules; just say what you feel expresses your feelings towards your child. You could make promises to keep him/her safe, happy and always to know that you love and care, that you will try to make sure that they never have to doubt your great love for them and that you will always put them first....
