Haha wow, it is like you want your kids to be made fun of in school! :lol

 

[Flink]

What explanation did your parents give you?

Momma told me she ate lots of pancakes during her pregnancy, so it made sense. I tried going by SO many nicknames - Pan, Cakes, Panc, etc, but NOTHING shook off the cruelty of the kids in school.

I think the most traumatizing experiences of my life were when they served pancakes for breakfast at school.

 

[cory]

Bangalter.

 

[Atilac]

Why not Leuloch? or Jefferson Davis? or Gaylord?

 

[Blair]

Max Fightmaster.


Give birth to a legend. Nay, A GOD.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Atticus or Liam

 

[Clydefrog]

How about Ghyslain?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Please, people, think about what you name your kids. THINK.

My name used to be Pancake, but I had it legally changed after a lot of abuse. No one would take me seriously and I honestly think it's why I didn't get accepted to my college of choice.

:lol :lol :lol

I propose a tag for this man! "He will always be Pancake to us"

You thought wrong: http://www.facebook.com/NekNek2009

I was thinking of the song. They spell it Shaniqua.

Uhhh...no that doesn't make sense. This still blows my mind. :lol
By the way, how much of a hassle is it to change your name?

 

[tino]

It's a classical name. It's not like you want to name your son Vegeta.

Do you guys really think by the time his son enter grade school, his classmates know what Finding Nemo is?

How many of you watch Cartoons 10 year older than you when you were in grade school?

WTF is this! :lol

Else go for Arthur.

 

[Captain N]

I do like the name Sullivan, but my wife doesn't like it...sadly..


Buffalo Becker is a badass name..you guys are crazy.

 

[EzLink]

why would you post the entire full name of your son on a public message board that is visited by thousands of people daily?

 

[Lard]

/facepalm

+1

Go for Aloysious

 

[Brobzoid]

If your son has any potential to end up looking like that Nemo is fine. Buffalo is fucked up, but not as fucked up as pancakes.

 

[ronito]

Dude, since you've already got like 4 names in that name what's one more?

PS: Don't call your kid nobody.

its a hair's width away from Buffalo Pecker....
Kids would have called him Buffalo Dick licker

[AIRic]

When I'll have a child, I'll name him after my grand-father who passed away 13 years ago.

Hahah @ Buffalo!

 

[braves01]

Have you considered giving him a city name? Those seem like all the rage right now. Something like Milwaukee Dallas Becker. IMO, that's sounds like the name of an American hero or an all-star first baseman. The only downside is someone could mistakenly think you named him after that mediocre TV show with Ted Danson, "Becker, M.D." or maybe it's just Becker I don't remember.

Edit: should have read OP, didn't see you wanted to call the first one Buffalo. Apparently you already know what's up.

 

[Erico]

If you name your kid Buffalo, you better hope he doesn't turn out ugly and/or hairy, or it'll be like you gave him the cruel elementary school nickname yourself.

Imagine every first day of school for the rest of his life:

Kid: "Hey Buffalo."
Teacher: "That's mean! You don't call him that!"
Buffalo: "That's my name"

How many of you watch Cartoons 10 year older than you when you were in grade school?

Are you saying you never watched a Disney movie older than you when you were little? Pinocchio? Bambi? Snow White? Fantasia? Dumbo? Alice in Wonderland? The Sword in the Stone? 101 Dalmatians? The Jungle Book? Nothing?

 

[GoutPatrol]

I'd name my kid Alpaca before Buffalo.

Hell, I didn't even know most of those movies were as old as they were when I was that age.
Movies are timeless, the good ones will pass from generation to generation.

 

[Ceres]

You should name him Just-In'Love

They will be going to school with kids raised by parents that shove pixar movies down their throats. Of course they'll know what Finding Nemo is.

 

[Macmanus]

My co-worker has a son who has red hair. Simply because of this they referred to him as "Nemo."

He got so sick of the name that he died his hair black. So then the kids started calling him Emo-Nemo.

 

[trinest]

If its a girl name it Ponyo

 

[DieNgamers]

I say: do it! Who cares if the kids in school make fun of him! He'll grow stronger and the joke will grow old...When I think about it..every name has a joke to it. He'll have that one life, so why not make him stand out a bit.

 

[LegendofJoe]

That's freaking terrible man, if I were you I'd mention this to my parents every time I saw them.

Not everybody has to stand out. Some people just don't have that personality. If they do want to be that unique stand out person they can do it on their own, not because of a name they were forcefully given. Who knows though maybe the joke does grow old eventually. Lets ask Pancake.

 

[grumble]

The OP must be trolling. No way could parents hate their kids that much.

 

[jett]

If its a girl name it Ponyo

I recommend Slutz Hobag. If you're fuck up your kids' life just go all the way, OP.

 

[Barberetti]

Forget Pixar names OP, go with demon names! Adramelech has a nice ring to it, and means "King of Fire".

Oh, and Buffalo :lol

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Buffalo? You can't be serious? :lol
Name him Leon or Ender.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Dominic

 

[Always-honest]

some people and their idiotic names for kids. think about the KID

 

[Parallax]

i like nemo as a name. main because of the captain and little variants.

but if you want to give your son a good name, name him babar. powerful, noble, and hell be liked by the french.

 

[vatstep]

By all means, parents should be able to give their kids unique names, but you have to draw a line somewhere. They're not property — it's not like naming a dog. That kid will have to live with that name long after they're the parents' responsibility. Sure it'll be cute to tell people that your little boy's name is Frog or something for a few years, but he's gonna hate it sooner than later.

Also, nerds just need to stop giving their kids stupid fucking names inspired by video games and anime. We get it: you have hobbies and interests. They don't need to reflect themselves in the names of your children.

 

[_Isaac]

Dominic is a nice name.

 

[DonMigs85]

This is nothing. My mom once had a coworker whose actual, legal first name is Bo Peep.
I kid you not.

I agree, forced unique names suck, also double, triple, quadruple or whatever names, also what celebrities name der children, horrible.

But I dont see the problem with game-inspired names. You have to get inspiration somewhere. Though, i´d rather take inspiration from anime. Name it, if it´s a boy, "Guts".

 

[charsace]

Okay so when my wife and I were expecting our first baby it was my idea to name him Buffalo. That one didn't stick and we went with Dashiell and call him Dash most of the time. Now she wants to have another baby and I got an awesome idea..what if for each child we pick a name from a Pixar movie. Nemo would be a great name for a boy and at the same time we could pick family names for the middle names.

Dashiell is my first sons name..if I lose the battle of Nemo my second sons name will be Lincoln with the nn Link.

Thoughts?

 

[ichigo kurosaki]

I like Nemo. As you know, the name was there way before the Disney movie so don't let the stupid movie references stop you from naming him Nemo.

 

[Rewrite]

Hey, I remember that thread you made a long while back about wanting your kid's name to be Buffalo. :lol

Reading all the hilarious replies so far and your latest one, I really like the name of Sullivan. Why doesn't your wife like it? It's a very nice name.

 

[Ya no]
