As a person of Scottish descent, I am just curious – are all you ladies naming your daughters Mackenzie (or Mykenzie, or Makenzy,ect) out of some loyalty toScotland? Or perhaps just a love for haggis? Just curious.

Do you honestly think someone naming their daughter Makenzy could find Scotland on a map?

My husband and I have already decided to name our son Cinsere. It’s unique and it will be the first name in our family that is non-traditional. Many of our family members disagree with our decision, but we have decided and nothing is going to change our minds. We appreciate their opinions, but it is our choice.

And again the spectre of mule-headedness raises its mule head. So why’d you ask for the family members’ opinions if you don’t actually give a crap what they say? Funny, that’s not very (snicker) “cinsere.”

I’m expecting triplets in April and we’ve picked out the girls names: Alexana Chenaur and Kia Nicasey. the boy my husband wants to name Richard Allen, I think it’s a bit boring and prefer Shaden Elijah. Last name Zane. What do you think? I prefer unusual but not to far out.

Chenaur – She can grow up into a half-man, half-bull who roams the labirynth!

Update! Eagle-eyed reader Susan pointed out something I missed in my Chenaur-induced dementia. The proposed boy’s name would be said “Shade Insane.”

But then, aren’t all the names here?

me and my boyfriend put alot of thought into our childs name and the end result was great, boy: Skyler Alexander girl: Trinity Laureen
Every one I have told seem to like them because they are different but anyhow I don’t really care what the rest of the world thinks of my baby’s name because it is my baby!!!

Yes, but it’s not YOUR name. You can’t play with my toy! It’s mine! Mine mine mine mine! MOOOOOOOM! They’re making fun of my pretentious designer baby naaaaaaaaame!

We named our son Ty. People always ask, is it Tyler, or Tyrone or Tyrus? No – just Ty. We have a long last name (Troutman), so we
wanted to be sure that his name wasn’t too long.

“Oh no! My fishing line’s got loose!” (Woosh) “That’s OK, Timmy, you just need to fasten the line better with a double-hitch knot!” “Wow! Thanks Ty Trout Man!”

My daughter-in-law would like to name the baby River Sunshine. That’s the first and middle names. I think he’s going to be teased in school.

Are you kidding? Boys love being called Sunshine. And it goes so well with the last name “Stankowski.”

I’d like opinions please. How does Summer Banner sound. I really love the name Summer but don’t know if it goes with our last name.

I like Runner Mummer Funner Tanner Dumber Gunner Bunter Punter. For a boy.

I know a little boy (4 years old) called Orion. He has a little sister called Venus. I think it is original without being at all silly, like some ‘unique’ names can be.

Yeah. Silly. I’m feeling my ability to gauge silly and non-silly slipping fast.

A foray into the mouth of madness. Let’s go slowly:

Aiken
Please tell me your last name’s Payne.

Breckin
Breckin the law! Breckin the laaaaaaaaaw!

Chance
(forehead slap)

Maxigan (i think i like this one)
Yeah, well I think I love you. But what am I so afraid of? I think that I’m unsure of this love there is no cure for.

Attica
Or Sing-Sing. Or Tehatchapi. Or San Quentin. Or Alcatraz.

Callahan-I think it could work for a boy or girl, but they had it listed as girl
Will she be a rogue cop tracking down a serial killer using a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, capable of blowing your head clean off? Well, will she, punk?
