Time for everyone's favorite game,
NAME MY BABY.
That's right, friends, it's time to give my baby a name.
When I said "everyone's favorite game", what I meant was "La Yen's favorite game", but that's not my point. My point is this: My upcoming arrival has a first name but no middle name. Your job is to submit suggestions. We (yen & I) still play this occasionally with Mocoface's name, even though she's almost 2 and a half years old.
Guidelines:
~All of our kids' names have some sort of significance related to either relatives or other significant people in our lives.
~Uh...I guess that's really the only guideline, but that doesn't matter for this game because I received a text message not too long ago from you-know-who with this suggestion: Quinn Seabuiscuit Eckton.
Yes, friends, the boy's name is Quinn (it means 'fifth born').
But Quinn...what???
How about Wesley or Weston. I think they sound good with Quinn and Q.W. would make for pretty unique initials!
ReplyDeleteCinco? Um...no. Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteHow about Quinn Kirk Eckton? Maybe not...too many "k" sounds all run together.
My son says, "How about King Cute?"
YES
ReplyDeleteQuinn Kong
Quinn Alexander Eckton
ReplyDeleteDarin Quinn Eckton
Quinn Medicine Woman Eckton ... sorry - that's what popped in. ;-)
ReplyDeleteQuinn Tanner
Quinn Carter
Quinn Thor ;-)
I am doo doo when it comes to Boy names. ;-)
You probably shouldn't use any middle name starting with a T because of the initials. Q-T? Not for a boy. Even if he does have cute feet.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Darren's middle name? I also like Tara's suggestion of Darren Quinn Eckton. Two of shiny shoes boys go by their middle names and I think it pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteOr you could use my word verification name today "navsi".
Quinn Alvin Simon Theodore

Quinn Clark Eckton.
ReplyDeleteor the word varification this go round: eggum
Wow! Such a response! A few thoughts...
ReplyDeleteYes, as Beans said, Darin's middle name is currently being used as the first name of our oldest daughter, so that's out.
Scarlett, did I tell you that I've thought Quinn Tanner from the beginning? Although you've inspired me to consider Quinn Scarlett. tee hee.
I really like Darin Quinn, going by the middle name. (Has no one mentioned the initials DQ?) We don't want a junior, per se, but that would be a good way of going about it. Plus, the Quinn whom the boy will be named after goes by Quinn, yet it is his middle name.
Quinn Siniera - nice. That would fit our bilingual household nicely.
Quinn McChickanichol - How did I know that was coming?
I also kind of like Quinn David and Quinn Christopher.
A dear friend of mine considered Quinn or Wes. Good call, Julie.
But how, oh how could I go wrong with Quinn Voltron?
This is fun. Keep 'em coming.

ReplyDeleteIf Norah was a boy she would have been Quinn....I love love love that name and it totally fits w/ your other kids names.....
:_)
Robin - Welcome! I recognize you from Tori's blog. And sorry for not giving you the props where they were deserved (above) -- blame my pregnant mind!
ReplyDeleteyen - another laugh-out-loud list. I don't think I should use Quinn go Pee Pee in Your Coke, because that's probably on the Noonans' short list for if they ever have a boy. I like Quinn Mo Feen Jo Jo. And Quinn Tio Jeff.
Bek - I was at a concert with Azucar tonight and I totally mentioned Quinn Skeletor! By the power of greyskull! I'm glad to know that you and I think alike.
My choice is Quinn the Eskimo-- that from a song from back in the 60's. Or how about :

Here is mine:
ReplyDeleteQuinn Anthony
It came to me in a dream last night.
I didn't have a chance to properly read the other lists last night....Shanon and Yen...good ones.
ReplyDeleteYou could follow in the grand tradition of the early US settlers (and slaves) by picking a first name you like, then sneak in an ENTIRE other name of someone else, then the last name. Like in our case, Derek wanted Jacob to be Jacob John Elway Bingham. :-)
Quinn John Stewart
Quinn Madonna, etc.
Fun!
Quinn Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?
ReplyDeleteI am dying of laughter right now. Where were all you guys when my child was born?
ReplyDeleteOK, so all my witty ideas have already been taken. I never was one for original thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm hooked on Quinn Tanner (which I almost spelled Quinn Tannah) in spite of the Q.T. initials.
In any case, I'm getting excited for you!
Quinn T. Sential
ReplyDeleteOkay, so really, I like Darin Quinn.
Quinn Burger

ReplyDeleteBiscuit-Barrel...
Quinn for short
Wait, am I allowed to play?
ReplyDeleteQuinn Beavers...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Poontang mean vagina? I wouldn't give my boy a female body part name. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night about this game. I can't remember what name came up, but it was pretty bizzare.
ReplyDeleteQuinn C. might work, if you want the kid to be known as tonsillitis the rest of his life.
Typo: I meant Quinn Z. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAs inspired by one of my favorite sites ever,

Returning home from a wedding in Salt Lake today I thought of this... La Quinn Ta Eckton. You might get a discount.
ReplyDeleteShannon brings up a good point (well, about the hotel discount, too), which reminds me that I should explain that name I put there. It's from an old Monty Python skit about silly names in an election. That name was always my favorite and I'd say it, only instead of the 'Poontang Poontang' (emphasis on the tang), I'd say "Fih-Tang Fih-Tang' because it sounded the exact same (what with the accent and the speed with which the woman said the name). And, as has been noted, Poontang is slang for vagina. The gist of the sketch was that the level of silliness of the name indicated their party; Alan Jones, for instance, was part of the Sensible Party; Kevin Phillips Bong, Slightly Silly; and Tarquin...Silly. There was also the Very Silly Party, but I can't write that name here, you'd have to hear it.
ReplyDeleteAzucar - did you say Chudd?
I have no idea what to say...all the good names have been taken thus far - especially liked Quinn Kikuchi...nice one Jen.
ReplyDeleteI looked up "Darin" and it said that it was of Celtic/Gaelic origin and that it means "Precious Present". So if you go with Darin Quinn Eckton - which I really like - his name would basically mean Precious Gift - the Fifth Born - I think that covers who he is right?
I love you J!
Jen...great reference to The Final Rip Off...if I had had an iPod in college that would have been on it. I snorted when I read that....good one.
ReplyDeleteCarina...you are good at this, but now we all know WHY!!! We love the Utah Baby Namer...best website EVER.
Quinn Tuplet
ReplyDeleteOk, I read through those fast but I don't think anyone said
ReplyDeleteQuinn Cinco
If that doesn't say a bi-lingual home, I don't know what does!!!
Okay, about Darin Quinn... While it is a good name, not only will the initials be DQ, but Darin Quinn isn't far off from Dairy Queen in pronunciation. Do you really want your boy to go through that?
ReplyDeleteNow on to serious business:
Someone said Tarquin, but I say Quinn Tar. It sounds spacesuperheroey.
Quinn Barry
Quinn Moose Tracks
Quinn Ball
Quinn Twitty
Quinn Fabulous (Okay, maybe not, but it sounds fun.)
Quinn Dwight Schrute
Shoelaces Quinn
Quinn Tron
Quinn O'Shea
Quinn LeRoy
Quinn Grayson
Quinn Rex
Quinn Phillip
Quinn Extra Smooth
Quinn Lite
Quinn Impressario
Quinn Logan
Quinn Latifah
Quinn Latimer
Quinn Quinniferous
Quinn Quinn
Quinn Bugs Bunny
Quinn Tervention
Quinn Essence
Quinn Papidopulous
Quinn Wolverine
Ooooh, Carrie. Such a fine, fine list. I particularly enjoy Quinn Dwight Schrute (Quinn K. Schrute?), Quinn Moose Tracks (Russell's brand only, please), Quinn Ball (sure to be the girls' favorite game), and Quinn Latifah.
ReplyDeleteYesterday at church, my friend leaned over and whispered, "Quinn talope." That was from her daughter.
Also, my brother has contributed "Quinn Lose or Draw."
Because I really really really want to be comment number 50 and because I can't resist this one any longer:
ReplyDeleteQuinn Set Hut
And, to qualify for the "significant" part:
