My family has a curse.
Going on several generations now: if you name your son James, he will die in infancy (or miscarry.)
I have thought about pushing my luck... but I'd never forgive myself if the curse were real.
The conversation surrounding my name went something like this:
Mom: "Chris?"
Dad: "No, can't call him Chris. How about Mike?"
Mom: "Don't like it. And there will be no little Leo running around."
Dad: "Fine, so not my name. Then what?"
Mom: "Steven? I mean, I don't hate it but it's not great or anything."
Dad: "Yea...I guess that'll do."

My dad's family is Russian, so all the boys are named after older men in the family as a tradition and an honor. So there's only like 5 boys names used ever.
John
Stephen
Alexander
Andrew
Michael
That's pretty much it unless you have like 8 kids and run out. Then you can be creative.

The thread title made me think this was gonna be another Sheri Thread.
Just kidding congrats dude. My sister is pregnant right now (thank you, Poorochondriac), and she had her first ultrasound a week ago. Crazy to see that little thing (Rolo).

NOOOO GET THE CHILD AWAY I DON'T WANT IT TO DIE

You're depriving the child of superpowers, you monster!
My dad tried to bribe my mom with $20,000 to name one of my brothers or myself Wolfgang. She wouldn't do it though.
That is the coolest first name I have ever personally encountered
Yes he was a fat pimply nerd, as his parents most likely were.
my bro's name is Render
we get comments
er by "bro" I meant like friendbro
my brother's name is Cooper and my bro's name is Render
I see how my entirely misleading use of the word "bro" might have confused you
he is majoring in gunblades, though

Ah. Call him your bro in arms or something. Either way, that name needs a sword to go along with it.

Actually, if we're talking in the world it would be Mohammad.

My dad's name is John, and his dad, and his dad, and his dad.
They named me Jack, for a change of pace I guess.
Should've said most common english name.
