If all goes well in the Tournament Master household we'll be welcoming our first child into our lives this August. We have still yet to pick out a name for the little girl, and a friend suggested putting together a tournament bracket with out 8 favorite names. Seems appropriate, huh?  JUst wondering what you guys thought would be the best crazy suggestion tio bring to my wife. Any other wacky suggestions are appreciated! ;D |

I say we have a huge Forum Member tournament (like the Promoter Royal Rumble). Everyone votes for a winner in each match, and your darling baby girl shall be named after the winner!
I can see it now .... Goodzilla Marie Joerchel.
Apologies if I butchered your last name. ;D

And funny enough Marie is my wife's middle name (guess its pretty common, along with Ann I see alot). Not sure I like her being named after a board member. Neilybobette Joerchel could traumatize her for life. |

I say Thantos should be the godfather.
He would probably suck at buying thoughtful Xmas & B-day gifts, but he could kick the crap out of all the other kids' godfathers!

Finally, I can share the secret! Congrats to my boy and his wife...hopefully everything continues to go the way it is supposed to be! I think (off the top of my head) that Shann Ra is a sweet name...j/k! TK? No? Okay...trim the names down to 8 and then talk to the baby and see which one she reacts to most...usually around 2 AM if she is like my lil' aspiring hobbits! And a stuffed Reptilo (or Gila...inside joke) doll is mandatory TJ!

Wow, cool, TM. Congrats! Fatherhood is a privilege that I know you'll rise to. Enjoy them while they're little. They're only that young once.
I chose "other." You should have a candle-lighting ceremony at the baptism where Nosfera lights the candles with his breath. Goes with the avatar and all.
Having a tourney to name your baby? That's brave. I'm too protective of child-naming rights to ever want to do that. We didn't even tell our families my first son's name until he was born, and our second son we only told grandparents and close relatives about a month or so before the due date. But if you're that courageous, I'll vote!

I voted other. I think that either Havoc or Ms. Kennedy would be a good name.

On a side note, my wife does really want to make a stuffed Gila, since thats her favorite character (I know she is crazy). I mentioned maybe doing a stuffed Wolf instead, but she thought that would be too scary for a baby.
If I was to do a baby name tournament bracket, I think that only my wife and I would be voting. We could show my daughter on her 16th birthday, as she rolls her eyes at me.

You must have heard the Jeff Foxworthy routine about looking at his daughter at just a few months old and thinking how precious she is. Then he imagines her at 16 smoking and drinking in the backseat of her boyfriend's car saying, "My dad is such a s***head!" Oh, yes, I'm going to be very glad I have boys when the teens roll around. |

Yeah, it honestly wouldn't matter to me. But he enjoys a red-blooded Amurkin sport like NASCAR, as well as throwing things as hard as he freakin' can at whatever body part of yours happens to be in the flight path (which fortunately isn't that hard...yet), so with those very "boy" activities as part of his everyday life, I'm guessing he bats from a particular side of the plate. Just bein' stereotypical...
