Random Thoughts 0o10: Special Limited Deluxe Collector's Edition

[choxorn]

My dad gave me his first name as my middle name and I think I'm going to do the same thing if I have a son but slightly less obvious - I like the name Castor for a boy's middle name.

Just give him two middle names, or a hyphenated Castor-<your first name>

 

[Arakhor]

An astronomy buff would ask him if he has a twin brother named Pollux.

A mythology buff too.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

Just give him two middle names, or a hyphenated Castor-<your first name>

Or be creative like my parents and give him four middle names. Add Aldebaran and Betelgeuse in there too.

 

[Takhisis]

Just call him Sirius.

I wonder who will get the next Random Thoughts thread.

Their title will never be better than mine. Never!

The next person should just take this title and then add "Season Pass" to the end of it.

How about "We Can Has Permanent Postcount?"

 

[Manfred Belheim]

How about plain old arabic numerals and no subtitle. Or maybe even just leaving the thread open forever like all those other threads where that works fine.

@hobbsyoyo what will you name your child if she's a girl?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

That one's pretty personal for reasons I don't want to get into.

Castoria.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

lmao no
And we're not 100% set on Castor as a middle name either for a boy, that's just my favorite and it's at the top of our list.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, if you go for Castor, you can say, "oh, Pollux!" a lot and no one will have any idea what you're talking about.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

In the Sims 2, there's a premade Sim named Castor. I've half-considered giving him a twin named Pollux.

Best practice: Never reveal a baby's name before the baby is born and officially named. The reveal should arrive via mail or email. This avoids any second guessing and discussion. When folks make suggestions, just say thank you we'll let you know after the birth.

• "Car crashes through window, into Halifax store"
• "84-year-old woman crashes car into Shoppers Drug Mart in Truro"
• "Truck crashes into New Glasgow Shoppers Drug Mart"
• "Car, horse crash through store windows in separate Nova Scotia incidents"
• "Car crashes through Fabricville store window in Cole Harbour, N.S."
• "Car crashes into small-town Nova Scotia store, misses dozens of customers"

Something tells me that Nova Scotians aren't great drivers.

Are there any cultures that allow a kid to name themselves around age 6?

I can see why parents do it at birth, but at the same time I feel for all those kids named Blanket or General Feltwaffle.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Or Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, but the court in Sweden told them they couldn't name their kid that.

Looks like a valid name to me in Wales.
