Names Meme...

[jadecat]

Meme too good to pass up stared by beldar, but actually stolen from brightflashes:

So the Palins have named their kids some interesting names. The Palins have two sons (Track, 19, and Trig, four months) and three daughters (Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7) [ages as of August 2008]. (The Wiki goes on to explain why the couple named some of their kids what they did). This is all in good fun; not to make fun of people who choose exotic names. Just thought it would be funny.

Here's a little LJ meme for you, based on how they chose names. Presume you are just starting to have children, and will be blessed with five:

1)Your first-born will be named after the parents' favorite sport.

2)Your second-born will be named after a nearby area that you're not from but you like the sound of part of the name, and maybe you have nostalgic memories of said place.

3)Your third-born will be named after another nearby place, or your state bird.

4)Your fourth gets a "cool" name, derived from a favorite vehicle.

5)Your fifth gets something mythological, possibly straight out of Lord of the Rings.
(Or, taking another meaning of "Trig," your favorite college course.)


My answers:

1) Soccer

2) Hell (Hell, MI)

3) Robin (Eh, not bad...) ooh, or Eaton (Eaton Rapids, MI)

4) TT (Audi TT)

5) Griffon. ;) Uh... Cúchulainn?

Well #4 is an awfully pretty car. ;)

Isn't she though? You just know though that #4 would be a boy and he'd be stuck trying to explain how his Mom named him after some car ;)

Yeah... that could be a fun discussion especially if #s 1, 2 and 5 are girls. *giggles*

1. Dressage. Or Aikido.

2. Montreal. You know, that would actually be a pretty name. Or London.

3. Loon (the provincial bird of Ontario) (!) or Outaouais (pronounced Oot-away).

4. BMW 320i. Or I guess I can name hir Bimma. Or wait, I'll name her Impreza.

5. Ring (Theory). Which also fits the mythological theme.
