Oh God. Hubbys Pick

Striker. At first he said Stryker and i talked him out of that. What do you think of Striker?

Also what about Melbourne for a middle name? Not for striker just in general?

hmmm. It brings to mind Star Trek: The Next Generation, and fistfights in grade school. Also, in some sports/games to strike means to lose (he may be well regarded in the bowling world, however). I am not trying to be harsh, but these are things that come immediately to mind. That being said, I like the masculinity of the harder "t", "k" sounds...maybe you could work off of that? Melbourne could be pretty cool...

I would offer suggestions, but my brain is frazzled at the moment...I will post again.

No i dont mind you being harsh. I dont like it at all. Mostly because i used to be a total wwe nerd and there was a wrestler names matt striker and it brings upon negative feelings to me for some reason. I really like the name Heath (other post) and even though its a common name, i really like Jack, Cain, Troy and Dane. But he vetoed all of those. I think the biggest problem i have is that Striker doesnt fit at all with our names. Summer, Kiele, Adelaide, Matthew, Anniston, Caroline, Pierce, Bridget. Striker doesnt fit in. at all. He says the name he wants is Striker Maxwell. Im a little lost at what to say. haha

Do you have children with all of those names? Yes, Striker doesn't fit at all and is incredibly fierce sounding, but not in a good way in my opinion. It sounds violent, albeit very masculine. I prefer Heath or Heathcliff, personally.

We plan on children with those names. We dont have any children right now, we are currently trying to get pregnant with our first. But i like to have details down and i LOVE names so i plan things like this. But to me Striker sounds scary. But i dont want to offend my husband by saying no but it just down fit. And it doesnt just not fit in a whole if we only have 3 other children and Striker no matter what names we chose Striker wont fit. I really wanna persuade for Heath, but he seems adamant and this is only the 3rd name he has actually suggested. I actually thought he was messing with me at first making fun of how he felt about the names i like.

This sounds like Melbourne Cup fever. Did he have a punt on the Melbourne Cup yesterday?

Striker is an absolute no go zone!

I think it was Lord Melbourne that the city of Melbourne was named after, as first name it is a bit out there but in the middle no problem.

I am deeply disturbed by Striker. It sets my teeth on edge.

Thank you! I am deffinalty trying to let it down easy but i HATE this name. haha

i won! he gave it up! yay! :) but still says no to heath:( and jack cause apparently jack is a dog name. like bailey is a dog name.

Do you like one-syllable names? Some you may like instead of Heath, since hubby nixed it, are Birch, Boone, Booth, Brent, Brooks, Chase, Clem, Dean, Gage, Grant, Hayes, Knox, Peers, Penn, Perth, Reid, Slade, Vaughn, West, and Yale.
