So my new fiance and I are in the car talking about baby names.

"What do you think of Michael Ender as his first and middle name, if it is a boy?" he asks.

jfd;lajfas;! I laughed, but honestly... I think it sounds cool. [Frown]

Have we crossed the line between Ender fans and... I don't know what? Oh, God I feel so lame just typing this.

Whatever your reply, at least I didn't name my child "Thor" like my friends did. -_-

Tell me I'm not stupid... or tell me I am. Doesn't matter.

Michael Andrew is my brother's name.

How about that? [Big Grin]

(Just, whatever you do, don't take James Owen or Ciaran Michael-- names we have picked for first and second boys. Actually, I wanted Ciaran for the first boy, but James is the name of my husband's dead father, and that trumps "had it picked out since I was 16". *sigh* )

Well, my THIRD child is Andrew....hubby was not into nicknaming him Ender though.

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Would you really want a child named after a Xenocide? An innocent child drawn to war?

Ah, who cares? Cute name, easy to pronounce. That is, unless he has "Bwyan" and "Woga" pwoblems.

If later in life he chooses to use his middle name more prominently, he could be

M. Ender ____________

Or... Mender.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

I'm thinking of Merle or Merlin...

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I know a guy named Merlin! He's a good musician, too. [Smile]

Did you know that was a fairly popular name in the 1920's (no. 314 for boys in the US during that decade)?

I solved that naming problem by eating the kids.
