Well apparently it would have been a toss-up between that and Darius, so I think I got off fairly lightly

Xerxes I like...

Otto dude! You should call him that.

If its a girl, give it some pretty name. Isabelle, Kate, Hazel.. something really girly.

... sorry... hope the obvious feminine side isnt a bad thing

Tickeltadge

- if only the missus would let me get away with that one!

We've settled on Michael John for our first born, I'm not in the slightest bit religious but once we'd gone through every rhyme or insult we could think of - thats the names we ended up with.

You want him to name his baby after one of your computers?

Lots of interesting ideas... Thanks

Most of them caused my wife to say "You dare!"

Some people are impossible to please

Here for a certain time in Italy there have been a quite different way
to choose names between north and south Italy.

While in south Italy is pretty common pratice to choose names that
are often related to saints of the church like for example:

Franceso
Agostino
Giovanni
Paolo

and for girls

Maria (yes, it's a quite common name)
Assunta
Concetta
Francesca
Clara

in north Italy there have been for quite some time, especially around 70
a "fashion" of getting foreing names, usually nordic names for babies
so things like:

Ivan (me

)
Erik
Gunther
Karim
Sarah
Jolanda

or some traditional Italian names like

Mario
Luigi

Tullio
Stefano
Davide
Andrea
Rossana
Livio

etc ...

Ivan is my name ... Ivan the terrible

(my father had a certain addition for Russian names

)
