Title: Naming...
Post by: Faster Master St. Pastor on March 21, 2006, 03:40:18 AM

More importantly: girl names. Lets face it; I'm a testosterone ladden boy, as such I usually come up with boy's names. While thats very useful it leads to most of the girls names I come up with to sound weird and all that bad stuff. So, any suggestions? I don't really need anything extravegant, just something that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Heck, for that matter I just need something that fits well with a common last name.

My godsend for names is always www.babynames.com.  Very helpful.  Or my old high school year book.

I'd think with being a "testosterone laden boy", as you put it, you'd be more likely to come up with girl's names.

Nope, only run through the names of girls I know and stuff like that. :)

Yeah, see, I'm one of those laden boy thingies and I tend to think, umm, Jessica... Nicole.... Megan.... Jessica.... uhhhh.....

Or, I just slur a whole bunch of vowels together and throw two consinants in somewhere.

Steal names from your email spam.

That would be easy, I only get like fifty a day, not counting my actual junk folder.

Yeah, I'm afraid all of my girl names would include innuendo whether I wanted it or not.

well I grew up in an estrogen laden household and therefore prefer the company of women, so I guess you could say I'm a little gay, not sexually, but socially.

That's a hefty admission to make.  I like the stealing ideas from spam idea.
