Named by America

I am giving you, the viewing public, a chance to vote for the best name for my soon to be born baby boy. This is a great responsibility I am entrusting you with, so don't let us down. And remember, I will probably not even consider a single name you come up with. Thank You

My wife and I have an ever growing list of names we will never use. It should help you narrow things down. But I won't suggest the names we like because that would be uncool if our kids had the same name. Here's the losers:

Chet, Tyrone, Cecil, Esteban, Herb, Arsenio, Goliath, Elliot, Clint, Habakuk, Chutney, Kansas, Jethro, Lucifer, Gargamel, Azrael, Grendel, Adolf, Pol Pot, Mao, Carrot Top, Philbert, Godzilla, Fabio, Yanni, Ramses, Quest, Gardello, Nosmo, Goober, Krystal, Brittney, Crackhead, Brodeo, Arena Rider, Justa Cowgirl (those last three are actual names of children in Santaquin), and Martin Sheen.

Hope that was useful.

Well - I'm going to lead off with the obvious options and then move in to more 'original':

Little Chunk
Big Chunk
Chunky Monkey
Chubby
Round Mound of Rebound
The kid from lovetron (ok, that's not too obvious but who can deny the daryl dawkins connection?)
Wow, that's a big kid! (doesn't roll off your tongue, but at least he'll know who they're talking about)
Rollie Pollie Ollie (the plus is he'll think the show was named for him)
Rubin
Robin
Tubin
Tobin
Tobias Mulroney Alverez Penrod
Archibald
Kilrooney - tribute to his irish heritage
Pernod Penrod
John

I forgot to ask - what is the price? I suggest a Vespa.

Ok, so it is official - the prize is a vespa. I think John is the clear leader here and I will probably just send him the money to buy one tomorrow.

Patrick
Owen
Oswald
Penrod

He would have the coolest initials ever.

Pepe
Octavio
Oswaldo
Penrod

He would have the...oh man...someone already did this.

I suggest you wait until you kid is about 2. You know, old enough to name himself. I'm guessing he'll probably pick something like Elmo or Barney. Personally, I think Barney Penrod is catchy.

P.S. Congratulations by the way. Dan and I found your website on Amishrobot. We're so happy for you and we are so sad to hear about all the really awful drivers in Denver.

I'd consider Johns suggestion of Tobias. he is an actual relative of yours who went AWOL at the battle of (Long island?) with washington. Next to Snavely (one of your Menonite relatives) he is one of my favorites.

in case i am in time i suggest rafael or raphael.

See if you can ignore these.
