Naming Conventions
November 8th, 2007 11:55 am

I just recently found out that I’m going to be an Uncle! I’m pretty excited. Actually, Im getting married and my betrothed has like 20 nephews and nieces so I guess I’ll be an uncle as many times over.

This got me thinking about people that have some sort of “Naming convention” for their kids. I know of a family with 11 children, 9 girls, two boys and they all have names that start with J. So Judy, Jan, Jenny, Jason, Jemima, etc.

That’s pretty cool I guess but I think it could be a lot better.

Naming your kids after childhood icons

For instance what if you named your kids after characters off of Masters of the Universe. You would have all these great names to choose from.

  • -He-Man
  • -Prince Adam
  • -She-Ra
  • -Princess Adora

I know that He-Man and Prince Adam are one and the same but what if you named the older brother He-Man and the younger brother “Prince Adam.” Then when the Prince got picked on for being named “Prince Adam” his big brother He-Man would come beat everyone up! AWESOME!

If you run out of names you can name the last kid Skeletor. Life would be great for that kid, no more wondering what or who to be for halloween, it’s just Skeletor, every year!


“Hey She-Ra, do you need help with your homework?”

I have an uncle who named all his kids after biblical characters. That is, until he had a daughter. She broke the curse.

Personally, I’m not much of a conventionalist, so I just had to pick names by taking a look at the world around me.

Thus, my daughter is named after an actress I thought was hot, my older son after a secret society that I was considering joining (no, his name is not “Skull and Bones”, “Illuminati”, “Phi Betta Kappa”, or “Order of the Bull’s Blood”), and my younger son after a character in a video game I happened to be playing at the time of his birth (well, not RIGHT at the time of his birth, but in the days leading up to his birth… you know? And no, his name is not “Mario” or “Pac Man”)
