My son is named Mason and I don’t see what is wrong with that. I have been suffering with my husband saying if this baby is a girl he’ll name her America. I have tried to change his mind thousands of times, but he is stubborn. It’s not that I’m not patriotic, I’m just thinking ahead to her school days. I don’t want my child to have to endure being called “Miss America” or any other corny attempts at humor.

Damn it, woman! If you don’t name your baby America, the terrorists win! Every patriot must go out and name their baby America!

Miss America my ass. It’s the Coming to America jokes I’d fear.

Two great replyies:

How about Amaricus or just Maricus. Maricus kind of goes with Mason. When someone asks your kids names you can say, Mason and Maricus. They are different and unique. It still goes with America. Maybe you don’t like it now but it may grow on you. If you kind of like them, run them by your husband. Also, if your child gets called ‘Miss America’ it’ll be a comment.

Er, yes. It will be a comment. Now I’m going to drink a bottle of Scotch. It will be a drink!

I think it’d be funnier if the kids were named Maricus and Mason and when someone asks their kids names she could go, “Consuelo and Rudolfo.” They are different and unique.

Pick a name that stands for something.A unique name.If its a boy ,America, if its a girl, Americus.Those are just two names.Liberty.Pick something that makes you and your partner both happy.Don`t listen to other people(I know I sound
hipacritical but listen to your heart.

Oh, dude, you are like critically hip. You’re hipacritical!

Now I know it’s like criticizing the paint job on the Titanic, but wouldn’t Americus be a better boy name, and America a better girl name?
