February 26, 201313 yr Ok so my wife and I are having our first child, a son. We are looking for a name. Something that reflects the sentiment of the times and the fight we are all enduring for our freedoms. Something that I can remind him of when he is older and how important it is to never give up and always fight for what you believe in. I know this is a strange and somewhat unusual post but since joining this forum I am amazed and some of the knowledge outside of firearms that exists on this forum. Thought some might have some ideas. My wife hates the name Henry (Patrick Henry) so I'm struggling here.
February 26, 201313 yr Congrats! How about Wallace...he fought for what he believed in... Benjamin Abraham Hunter? Just a few
February 26, 201313 yr Congratulations. If you name him Moses maybe he will set us free. Also works as a middle name if it's too strong for you. Worked for John Moses Browning.
February 26, 201313 yr I wanted to name our daughter "Reagan". My wife did not agree. Oh, and congratulations! And start saving for college. Today. The time will pass faster than you can ever imagine.
February 26, 201313 yr Christopher Gadsden (Last Name). "Don't Tread on Me" fame. Or, better yet, just really name your new joy what you and your wife would like. Forget the times, history will change and the reason you named him today will be long lost tommorrow. Congratulations.
February 26, 201313 yr If you guys have a daughter perhaps Joan (of Arc). David (who slew Goliath) could be another.
February 26, 201313 yr I don't have any suggestions that weren't already mentioned, but congratulations on this blessing!
February 26, 201313 yr Why limit consideration to the present? Look toward the future and name him Kyle Reese!
February 26, 201313 yr Three things to consider for a boys name. As an example Samuel When they call his name for something significant- Samuel A good nick name for a little kid-Sammy A guy you would have a beer with at a bar-Sam Congratulations
February 26, 201313 yr "Bill or George, any damn thing but Sue" © Johnny Cash. I hope you see where I'm going with this and CONGRATS!
February 26, 201313 yr How about Nathan as in Nathan Hale, whose supposed last words before being hanged by the British were, "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country." What do I win?
February 26, 201313 yr Congrats! I pushed hard for my newborn son to be named Eugene, after Eugene Stoner.. And almost as hard for Malcolm, because El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz just wouldn't fly at all I ended up losing on both counts Still love the crap outta that kid though
February 26, 201313 yr Just pick one you like. I have a feeling that you would grow to regret "Tyranny" or "Sh!tstorm" some day. Congrats!
February 26, 201313 yr I wanted to name our daughter "Reagan". I've met one or two female Regans. It's a nice name. I think "unique" names are coming back. I've seen Mason, McKayla, Olive, and Rhia, Cole and Hunter on the school rosters.
February 26, 201313 yr Christopher Gadsden (Last Name). "Don't Tread on Me" fame. ^^^^^^^^ This!!! Congrats on the kid!!!
