I would name my kid Bishop.

Barinthus, .. well I don't think it's particulary bad name but I wouldn't agree with it personally. And since you put it that way, the hell freezes over before I accept that name!

But yes, I think it's very important that the kid won't have to suffer for the name we give them in school too easily. You know sometimes you just have to wonder what the hell were the parents thinking..

Locutus, why don't you include Adolf and Fidel too Hey, they're historic!

Anyway, I kind of like Isabella too.. it's a pretty name too. I'll have to remember that one.

I guess I could also name them : My Kid #1 and My Kid #2.. Or just Daughter of Great Pekka.. something like that.. somehow I have a feeling, though I'd really like a boy because I think I could relate more and play with a boy better, but I have a feelign that my first kid will be a girl. Somehow I just know it. It's ok though, I don't mind that. Girl would be a better in many ways, I think I'd be more worried with a boy getting involved in things that are not good for him.. with girl, I'd only have to worry about his boyfriends, and I can speak the boyfriend language and they would also understand me clearly enough so I could trust them too.

I choose those names because to me they represent strength (Alexander and Elizabeth) and wisdom (Nelson and Isabella).

What would Adolf and Fidel represent? Cowardice and bad temper?

(Yes, I'm aware of their nasty sides of my choices as well, particularly Isabella's)

Anyway, the range of names will have be new-age biblical and modern Israeli. (we're perhaps the only country in the world where the common names given to kids change so rapidly)

Ariel, Harel, Shirli, Karen are some of the names that come to mind.

Pekka, true

One of my favorite names was on David Letterman couple of years ago, apparently there's some gas station attendant named Richard Assman and you know the nickname for Richard is...

And some parents can be so moronic. I actually know a set of twins (both boys) whose names were Michael and Mike

My brother has threatened to name his first kid Xerxes, the 'Irks' pronunciation of course.

Not that he will be having kids anytime soon.
