I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I want to name our baby Ariel (Lion of G-d), but my wife says Ariel is a female name here in America. How the hell did this happen? How come a manly hebrew name becomes a female name? This is ridicoulus.
Yeah, your kid would get his ass kicked.  Ariel is totally a girls name, because it sounds super-feminine.  It's been that way for the last 300 years or so, thanks to 17th century interpretations of Shakespeare.  Caleb is a hillbilly retard name, but at least it's a boy name.

His ass kicked?
My boy comes from a long line of swordwielders and tribal raiders.
He is going to jump out of the uterus in a fighting stance.

I think you can get away with being named 'Ariel' if you are Jewish right?  :hmm:

Not in the US. another cool name is Raphael. Guess what, that was ruined too. Enter the Ninja Turtles.

Just name him Krav Maga Merkava.

Actually, sounds like a Disney song.  HAKUNA MERKAVA WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE

You really ought to let the father have the option of naming the kid, Siege.

I'm sure it won't be De'Shaun or anything.

Maybe you should move back to the Middle East, where that kind of tribal bullshit is tolerable.  That sort of person has no place in a modern society.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Caleb is pretty common among little boys around here. 

Re: Jewish names in general, my wife took a while to get used to their heavy usage in the US.  She thought every Rebecca or Jacob she ran into here was Jewish :lol:

Yeah what the hell is up with the pervasive invasion of Jewish names in our society  :mad:

Choosing baby names was a bit of a chore.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
