Needing Help with a Name
Scott Hodge and his wife just had a boy. His name is Alexander. That’s awesome. I mean its great that they had a healthy, handsome baby boy. But, it is awesome that he has a name.
In roughly 80 days, we’ll have our 3rd and final kid. He’ll be our first little guy. He’s nameless so far. Kelly is about to kill me because I have some weird compulsion to not talk about any specific name.
Then, Kourtney thinks we should name him "Cookie Monster" or "Bob the Builder." I’m on the fence about those names…they may be a little too out of the mainstream for me. Time is running out on the name game.
On all of my personality tests, I am off the charts "judgmental." I see in black and white and make decisions quickly. But, I’ve got no decision here. A good name is important. So, what do you think? Should we name my boy, "Cookie Monster?" Or, "Bob the Builder?"

twitter feed- pastortrav: My boy has kicked the crib to the curb. Tonight he's sleeping in his own bed...hasn't moved. That's the end of the crib in the Johnson casa.

I wanted my son to have a name that started with “Z” … I settled for a name that had “V” as the second letter. Zebediah, Zebulon, and Zippity Do Dah just weren’t cutting it with my wife.
I like Bob the Builder and Cookie Monster but maybe you could appreviate and name him BB or CM.

I’ll tell you what I think. I think this ISN’T FUNNY anymore. That’s what I think. Jokes over Jack.

Wait until I leave to talk smack. Daddy’s coming home soon, lil’ momma!
Comment by travis johnson | July 27, 2007 |
That’s easy. If he comes out all blue and hairy with crumbs on his chest, name him Cookie Monster. If he’s wearing a hardhat and tool belt, he obviously wants to be called Bob.

Very funny Erin. If he comes out blue and harry I am in trouble.
Travis, I’ll talk smack when I want to. This predicament is your fault. Besides, you’ll be gone away from your computer all day. Who knows what will happen on this thread while you are gone… muah ha ha!!!
Maybe by the end of the day we’ll have a name!

Ok, seriously. I found my list of boy names: Caleb, Ethan, Blake, Isaac, Logan, Jacob, Eli, Wyatt, Wade, Jordan, Hunter, Hayden, Mason

Travis,
Have you tried praying until you have a vision where smoke fills the place and the voice of God speaks the name of your little boy out loud? If this is beyond your connection with God you can let me know and I will take care of it.

How about something original? Like Cookie the Builder or Bob Monster? By the way, Miranda (my ‘lil momma’) loved the hot sauce video.
Comment by Derek | July 27, 2007 |
Erin, I like your names. We have talked about some of those… though I won’t disclose which ones.
Steve, I am not beyond buying a smoke machine and creating a spiritual experience for Travis.

Trav,
Cookie Monster is the name to go with between the two you mentioned, but you could name him Hogfish in honor of your recent exploit off Elliot Key. Or how about Elliot? Or Rocky, Spiny, Lobby. If it is an extremely painful delivery, Horsefly or Fire Coral Johnson.

All great ideas. I have really been mulling over Zed, Jethro, Billy Bob, and possibly Thurston Howell III Johnson…still searching. Thanks for the ideas.
Comment by travis johnson | July 28, 2007 |
Since you have one of those really uncommon last names – you should go with something uncommon and unusual – Bob works. Or Bill, Jim, Etc…
A couple things about names – if you try and spell it funny they will hate you till they get out of high school and then they’ll appreciate it.
If you give them a name that could double as a girls name – they will hate you till they get out of high school and then use their middle name or another nickname.
We did that to both our kids – LOL. Lara (always gets pronounced wrong or spelled wrong) and Jordan (most people think its a boy’s name – she wanted to change it forever)

So when is ‘Christopher W. Johnson’s approximate birth date again ?
Comment by Chris M. Day | July 28, 2007 |
Hey that is a good strong name Chris I like that
Comment by Ela Ortega | July 28, 2007 |
I like it too, and the little dude’s nickname can be ‘Dubya’.
Comment by Chris M. Day | July 28, 2007 |
I like the name “Revolver Johnson” myself. That’s one dude no one would mess with.
Comment by Jason | July 29, 2007 |
you have 3 different views of ‘name’
the one that :
-people call to identify from other, just the simple one
-built because reputation and respect for achivement in society
-reflect tour personality to built selfsteem.
and you are looking for the last one…this one is not working properly these day and language, just don’t name it ‘rock’, ‘thunderstom’, etc..or cabagge collector ;]., todays is not big deal and spiritualy our name is going to change any way when we ‘muve’ to his kindom.
my contribuition
…”Remember that the name Israel itself means “one who wrestles with God.” Jacob’s name was changed to Israel after Jacob had the wrestling match. So it’s okay to cry to God, yell at God, curse God, praise God. Acknowledge the mysteries of why things happen that we don’t understand. You just can’t ignore God.”…. taken from ur “brother-in-law?” Rabi Greenstein
