Baby Boy Due 12-12-12 Help us find a middle name???

THATS THE POINT.

All our names have a meaning, which in a sense we are preprogrammed to believe that is what we are to live up to.

BECAUSE it has no meaning, he can be his OWN individual and write the pages in his own book of life.

I personally like the idea the name Lanther is not found ANYWHERE. To my husband and my self, that is definately a one of a kind. And we want him to grow and be HIS own man, independant, self assured, self empowered, etc. We have only found the name in one other place that some guy here in u.s. is using.

no one is 6'6 in grade one. He will get beat up, or at the very least teased quite badly. Even being a mild mannered adult, if someone told me their name was Lanther I would have trouble not snickering. Unless you are a celebrity you just can't get away with it, and you will spend the rest of your lives dealing with embarrassed silence whenever he is introduced. But you don;t care, as long as you get to proudly proclaim how unique you are. If the word has meaning to you guys, why not make that his middle name, and give him something a bit more elegant for a first name? Not saying you should call him John, but Lanther? It is unpleasant to say, literally. Not pleasant or appealing. This poor boy is going to be putting that on his resume in twenty years. Betting he won't get a lot of calls. I reckon when he hits that phase in life he will just change it anyway.

Have a baby due on 12-12-12. Hopefully he will come that day by c-section.

Also joked with the doctor would be even awesome if he was born at 12:12am/pm. We joke he is truly our conspiracy baby.

We will call him Lanther as there is no name anywhere we have found with that name.

We are struggling with a Middle name and would love to hear any suggestions.

We want an unusual name that will be his OWN.

A name noone has.

GLP People are very creative with their "words" LOL so we thought it'd be fun to see what you all could suggest.

Thanks to all who take this seriously.

And what by chance is YOUR name?

as a weirdly first-named girl, i have to agree with this 110%. i have endured spelling my name a million times, having people say 'what is it?' and then smirk or actually even say something crass. i am convinced it has cost me jobs and made people think i'm weird in general. it's not like i picked it!

please, reconsider. i really do still hate my parents for it, so much so that i use my initials instead and do everything in my power to hide my loathed first name. please don't. please don't.

meh, gamers. With poor priorities too. I would suggest not naming him Lanther for the simple fact that after you are divorced you wont have to put up with your ex's stupid gamer handle for the rest of your life. Tell him to shove his gamenames.

I feel for you. I have a common girl's name that is spelled uncommonly. I get that my parents thought I was a special snowflake and everything, but after having to correct people's pronunciation for the thousandth time it really makes you think about what you will name your kids. If you have a boring name like Jake or Molly maybe you can't empathise with how annoying it is.

Lanther is good. I like it! Founder reminds me too much of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

please consider how you are having to defend this odd name here, just on a message board, and imagine your child having to defend it and explain it and be ridiculed for it in his real life every day.
