Silly names not just the forte of dazzling urbanites?

I don't have a middle name since my parents are lazy.

Then again, I used to have a friend with a most outlandship middle name. He cut his intenstine out with a pair of scissors in a drug-induced delirium.

Part of me wanted to use the name Gord, and of course call him Gordie.  My dad's older brother was Gordie.

But who the hell names their kid Gord these days?

It would work, but only if he was called Gordo for short.  Anybody named after an astronaut can't go wrong.

That's my nephew's nickname. It means "chubby" or "fatso" in Spanish, and though he's now a tall, thin young man, as a baby he was fat as hell!

"He cut his intestine out with a pair of scissors in a drug-induced delirium" sounds Native American, not Polish.

Bah.  Gordie is the name of one of the finest Canadians of all time.

Much as I'd like to mock BB and Canada right now, I ain't gonna say nothing bad about Gordie Howe.

I suppose I could say something about how it's sad that there aren't any Canadian heroes outside of ice hockey, but I know too much about WWI and WWII to really mean it (even if there are few Canadians who are well-known for their heroism in the World Wars, there certainly were many Canadian who served heroically).

Smart man.  Even in his 80s I bet Gordie Howe could kick both of our asses.

Cute chick at Chick-fil-A had "Miller" as a first name today.

The "Miller Time" joke literally writes itself.

I was thinking that her parents either really liked the beer or the TV show. Still not as bad as Timberly though.

One of my middle names is Adam and I'd really have liked to have had that as my first name, but I'm guessing it's a relative rare christian name.

Because earlier I was having a go at some genealogy, perhaps my first serious go, and looking at the census/births/deaths/marriage records it appears throughout the mid to late 19th century there were only ever about 6 or 7 Adam Carter* in the whole of England and Wales during that period, which is very surprising, to the point I thought there must be errors in the database.



* Adam Carter being my great-grandfather who was born in 1842, so it appears that part of my family seem to father rather late in life, ie he fathered my grandfather at the age of 53 !   So there 'hope' for me yet.

Make one up.

I knew a couple of Adams in school.

Grumbler knew an Adam.  He thought he was a good young man.

That eve was a bitch though.
