I met someone at PJ20 whose son's name was Lukin.

I have a dog named Eddie.

If I ever have a son I want to name him Tommy, after the Who album, but that + my last name = virtually the same as a surgical procedure, so it's probably out. I've also joked about naming a son Elton--but, again, that + my last name = virtually the same as a famous singer.

Chloe would be a sensational girl's name...although "Chloe dances tables in the French Quarter" might be sketchy.

I named one of my son's Vedder Eugene (Eugene after his grandfathers). Have got nothing but compliments. Everyone loves it and so does he. He is 9 and has never been made fun of at all. My name is Sunshine and I was never picked on either. Vedder's father died when he was 3 1/2 so he has no memories but is connected through his name and his dad and moms love of pearl jam. To those who think.it is selfish that we named him that you are wrong his name means something to his parents and brought them together. I was named after the nickname my mom's father called her and he passed when she was 7 so it has meaning. Name your kids what you want but it is better when their is meaning behind it.

We have an Emma Pearl. She's 4 years old now. She likes to dive off furniture and swing from the curtains... not sure if the PJ name had any influence on this behavior.

I gave my son his fathers name for his middle name because he was born 4 weeks after his dad dies in an accident with his motorbike. I think some people didn´t like it very much but no one told me and I did not care about it.
Then as my son came to school he only wanted to be called with his first name. I don´t know why but I think he hated it. Maybe it was because his middle name became a little old and a gay touch (the kids told him?).
Yes, and honestly if it wasn´t his fathers name who I loved so much I would never gave him this name (but only because of it´s bad popularity). But I thought my son would be very proud to get his fathers name. Perhaps when he gets older...! At the time he was born I couldn´t imagine that this could happen! Now only the family members call him with his both names - all his friends, teachers and others call him only with his first name.
So I think sometimes a name can have a great meaning for someone but you cannot know how it will be for someone who have to wear this name for his whole life. Like names which are sweet for liitle kids but very unsuitable for adults and their jobs.
Good luck for everyone to find a good name and I hope you have some fun with it.
Maybe searching for a name should sometimes not be so meaningful and you can take a name that just sounds good.
Best wishes and much love to all parents. Enjoy
